Upper right gum swollen after root cana

2018-03-02 14:51:54
Had root canal done and my upper right gums are very tender and swollen, looks like gums got burned. , I'm on amoxicillin for infection of the tooth, it's been four days and no pain in the tooth itself but my upper gums are still very sore and swollen above tooth and have not subsided or gone away.

The swelling could be either infection or the medication used to clean the root canal may have come in contact with your gum leading to burning and tenderness. If that is the case you can apply hexigel or dologel there. It will resolve in a few days. Get your dentist to have a check.
