Tooth sensitivity months after root canal
by SJ365, Jan 31, 2008 04:47PM
Hi: I had a root canal done in November on upper front molar. I went back January 3rd for follow-up and told dentist my tooth was very sensitive still. Went back again on January 17th, and they re-cleaned everything out and found a 4th canal. At this time, they temporarily attached my new crown. It is now January 31st, and my tooth feels no better than it did in November. It is not sensitive to hot and cold, but it is sensitive to touch (pressing my tongue on it), and it is definitely sensitive to chewing. I am going back to the dentist in March, but I sure would like another person's thoughts about what is happening. Thank you for your consideration.

Well I decided I am going to have them pulled.
I suggest you have it pulled because you will never have to worry about the tooth or root ever again in your life. Put it this way they are molars and they are not directly in the front and you can't see them so why even bother going through the pain that you are and from what I was told root canal does not always work for the simple reason the root canal just kills the tooth not the root. When you have a tooth pulled the tooth is gone and the root is dead.
