Hi Doctor!
As always I ask this with much gratitude for all you do here. Thank you!
I had this bottom #19 tooth root canaled a little over a year ago. It hurts to floss on the front side of the tooth and I get random aching that has started to amp up over the past few days. I can chew on it but it hurts to tap the sides and when floss is pulled out it hurts. If I tap the tooth or mess with it, I get an achy feeling. I also noticed my lymph node under my ear on that side is swollen.
I saw my dentist today and he took this x-ray and referred me back to the endo. He mentioned something about inflammation. Does anything on this scan look off? what does inflammation look like? He said the tooth had 4 roots. He said the 2d scan might give a false image making it appear the gutta percha not fully going down the root so I was not sure if the scan was accurate regarding if the material went down far enough.
Thanks so much for your time.
