root canal and gum pain
by caroleau, Jan 18, 2008 12:00AM
I had a root canal done three weeks ago. They gave me an antibiotic (amoxicillin 500 mg)and they subsequently put some medication in my tooth. Nonetheless, I kept having like a throbbing sensation, a pulsation, and also whenever I ate or I talked I still felt pain ( sometimes giving me slight headaches). I have been back to my dentist at least once or twice a week. Actually, I just saw him two days ago and whenever he touched a certain spot my gum felt very sensitive. Anyway, he filled it temporarily until next week and took an X-ray before sending me home. He told me "let's see how it goes". I asked why it was so sensitive since I already had the root canal, he told me it was because the tooth was not healed yet. Meanwhile, if I talk or eat, if I gargle salted water, my tooth hurts ( or should I say my gum) and I'm starting to be desperate. What's going on and what should I do?
