Wondering why I’m getting pain during root canals.
I had an upper molar root canal done a month or so ago and one canal was so painful- like an electric shock. Finally at my third appointment I had a palette injection and that stopped it from hurting so they could finish.
Now I’m on to my last root canal which is a lower molar. I had one injection on the gum cheek side and they started, and it was super painful. They had to give another injection which felt like the same spot as before and it did get better in one canal, but the other 2 still super painful at the root so they had to stop again.
We’re going to try again in 2 weeks but they said if it’s still painful it’ll need to be removed which I really want to avoid after all that pain. Is there anything to be done to numb a lower molar? And is it normal to feel so much pain during
