Extreme pain after root canal!?!
Question: Extreme pain after root canal!.?
I was the recent recipient of a my first root canal.. Due to this fact, I am unaware of the depth of pain I am supposed to be feeling.. I was prescribed Tylenol 3- except it doesn't seem to be working.. The pain comes and goes, but when it comes it is ferocious!! I called the dentist, and he said he could not prescribe me anything stronger.. When I called I wasn't looking for another prescription- I was afraid there was something wrong.. SO MUCH PAIN!! How do I know if there is something wrong.? Thank you to everyone who responds!Health Question & Answer

When i got my first root canal, the dentist prescribed me tylenol 3 also.. The pain will be hurtful but nothing is wrong.. if it still bothers you for more than a week then you should be worried.. also i do remember the tylenol seemed to not work ,but on the other hand i dont think the pain lasted for more than 3 or 4 days..Health Question & Answer
have the tooth xrayed.. it could still have some root in it or the crown could not be in properly.. anyway, there is some nerve damage.. go make a visit and have an xray.. until then keep salt water wash and some oral gel..
