Hi all. I'm looking for advice. I have had alot of procedures done over the years, especially root canals!
I have a root canal started on an upper back right side molar back in March (my dentist practice does RC's in 2 visits). But with the Corona Virus I haven't been able to get in until this Friday, so it's been almost 4 months.
The root canal remained sensitive to hot and cold and had quite strong aches for a few weeks after the first treatment, then settled nicely. Now we are in June and it has suddenly become very hot and cold sensitive again. The ache is manageable, but it is also a wee bit tender to bite on. I understand that it hasn't been finished yet, but I'm so nervous it will need to be pulled. Does anyone know if this is normal, I always thought once the first session was done that especially the hot and cold part would not re-occur? I know from this forum that bacterial can still creep into an unfinished RC, but can this cause the sensitivity to hot and cold? I'm just very nervous I'll be told we can't proceed and I'll need to get it pulled. I would much prefer to keep it, it's sending me a bit paranoid, just need some reassurance. Thanks in advance!
