I have been waiting on my front tooth, to see if the Clindamycin solved the problem with the infection. My symptoms are odd, though, and I don't know what is normal.
The tooth had a very large abscess that went undetected for quite some time. After the root canal and apicoectomy, the tooth was still sore with pressure, and had pain behind the tooth, in the roof of my mouth, and at the root tip, under my nose.
The clindamycin took away the pressure pain. I can now bite with the tooth (although the one time I did, it was sore for a few days after, then went away). However, I have a dull pain behind the tooth, in the roof of my mouth. There is no pain when the tooth is pushed on at all. There is a slight pinching/pulling sensation at the area where the root tip would be when I move my lip a certain way that creates pressure in that area. The majority of the discomfort is right under my nose and in the roof of my mouth, behind the tooth. It is much better than it was, and I have periods of time with no pain. It hurts worse after I have been speaking for a while, and when I get a cold it is awful.
I am seeing an ENT today, to rule out any issues with my sinus, caused by the infection.
I am scared that if I pull the tooth, the pain in the roof of my mouth, and under the tooth will continue, and I will have pulled the tooth for nothing. I am not sure how to proceed. I also don't want to keep dragging this out forever, if the tooth needs to come out.
I can't get my x rays to upload for some reason
