Pain after RCT
I got my RCT done at the end of june'21. After which I was having pain which was not constant, sometimes severe and sometimes mild. My dentist said there is nothing wrong and rct is completely fine. Yesterday I met another dentist and he said there is still infection in the roots and he did treatment for that. I think he removed the abscess but I am still having the pain. Is it part of the treatment ? And how long will it take to get relief from pain ? Please help me, I am suffering from approx 1.5 months and
it's really painful. Thanks in advance.

Attach photographs of x ray if you have. Maybe their is recurrent infection in that tooth. Re RCT and proper antibiotics course may be required.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, use mouthwash. Try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day.
Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

The repeat root canal will take time to heal. The dentist will fill medicine and let it become pain free. Can’t comment more without seeing an X-ray.

Firstly the dentist will see x-ray and tell you exactly where's the abscess are by showing you the x-ray. After that he will start the treatment. Rarely there will be pain inbetween the appointment and its normal, they might prescribed you some medications to sooth your pain. Take the medicines that are being prescribed. Even after the 2nd treatment if you are still not satisfied than you should seek help from Endodontist.
