I had a root canal done on tooth 20 ten days ago. It was infected pretty bad. Endodontist said nerve was dead…I had only a minuscule amount of pain before the root canal. Nothing constant or bad.
Since the root canal, I’ve been having occasional pain in that area. I can’t be sure if it’s this tooth or the one next to it. I’m not biting on the tooth and it has nothing to do with drinking. It is random. Doesn’t hurt to touch the gums or tooth. It’s like a sharp shooting pain that goes away in a few seconds. I finished my antibiotics a couple days ago. I don’t know if I should be worried that the tooth needs retreatment? Is this normal at all 10 days past a root canal or should I be calling my endo Monday to go back in the tooth? I’m so paranoid about this root canal failing and needing extraction
