Tooth 'pulsing' after RCT
2 months ago i decided to have 2 new crowns for my front teeth for cosmetic reasons (#8 already post crown with RCT 15 years back). I am 39 years old. Following the crown procedure (2 weeks after) i experienced intermittent pain in the previously healthy tooth (#9) and had to embark on 3 weeks of treatment / draining etc. due to abscess formation. The tooth was left 'open' for 2 weeks during this time to to the infection which eventually subsided. The RCT on this tooth was finally completed 3 weeks ago and has been fine since then. However the past week i have started the feel the tooth 'pulsing' ie i can intermittently feel my heart pulse through it and it feels strange. I have no pain whatsoever just this 'pulsing'. Has anyone experienced this post - RCT? I am unsure whether i should return to my dentist to get this checked out.
Thankyou for your reply. No i havn't, what's the post root canal treatment? I thought the RCT procedure removed all of the nerve?
it sounds like the nerve in the bottom of the tooth might have been punctured.... once they clean the whole root out sometime and infection can be pushed through the apex of the tooth and go to the nerves in the jaw.... i think it will go away soon..... have you been back for the post root canal treatment?
