Root canal pain 16 days post treatment

[abbey87]

I had a root canal in a back molar. completed by two different dentists due to a bad experience with the first one who didn’t take my anxiety into concern. Got moved to a more understanding dentist for the second part of the treatment which was reinfected. He finished the root Canal and prescribed metodianzole as I was still in a lot of pain. I’m getting pain on pressure to the tooth, not agony but uncomfortable, dentist said in review I had yesterday that the root canal looked good. He did the percussion test which I could feel but the cold test I couldn’t feel.

Is this the root Canal failing or do I need to give it longer? Im only in pain when pressure is applied and then it will remain sore for some time, it will then be pain free until I put pressure on it again. If I don’t eat I don’t feel pain. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Give it a bit longer. It sounds like it was quite badly infected so may take a bit of time to heal.

@Gordon thanks for taking the time to reply . I will give it a bit more time. Thanks.

How are you feeling now? I’m in between appointments and due to go back tomorrow and mine is throbbing. Wondering if I still have infection in there

It’s improved but I’m still having intermittent pain. I saw another dentist and he debunked they only take two weeks to heal.said you need to give it much longer!
