still in pain after root canal

Iza73 posted:
Hello,
I had my tooth broken over a year ago, when I was pregnant and went to the dentist to fix it. She said it's OK to go like that since there was no pain at that time. She just polished the side of the molar, which had a very deep filling done years ago.
I had my baby and everything was fine since I got this pulsating pain.
I was on antibiotic for a week and had my root canal done in two parts. There was 4 canals done all together. It 's been a week now and I am still in pain. The pain is kinda the same like it was before. Please help.

Dear Iza73:

Unfortunately, the only one who can help, is your Endodontist. I am so sorry that you have pain, and a week after the procedure, you should be pain free.

Talk to your dentist, if she is the one who did the root canal treatment. If you need a second opinion, go to an Endodontist, the specialist in this field.

I am sorry that this is all that can be done here.

Best of luck,

Dr. Zev Kaufman
