Dental trauma resulted in root canals . Diagnosed with IDFP but think there is still an issue.

[Sam Williamson]

I have had root canals 15 weeks ago and still have pain. It has reduced with amytriptiline but there is localised pain that responds to codeine. his resulted from a fall and i think the pocket behind the tooth has been damaged by the tooth moving in the fall. I also have a really sore patch palatally behind one of the root canalled teeth. What can be done for the damaged pocket? As inflammation reduces the teeth do not feel totally secure in the gum.

I'd suggest you go back to the dentist for some more investigations.

 

[Sam Williamson]

I did indeed. He thinks leave it a few more months . Given the trauma to the tooth in the fall but he does not feel there is any sign of infection. Will rescan in a few months but it could still improve the pdl and bone may well take significant time to heal. Frustrating having an unusable tooth and being unable to bite with front teeth. This is a long job! Is it possible to take that manu months?

 

[Gordon]

It's possible.
Given your dentist has actually examined you and has presumably had some x-rays, they're much better informed than I am, so I'd defer to their opinion.
