Hi just wondering if anyone has experienced a dull boring ache in jaw after rct. I had a two appointment root canal in a lower molar by an endodontist. The rct was completed in two appointments as the tooth continued to drain during the first appointment. I had no pain in the two weeks between appointments. However after my second appointment when the canals were filled I have had a strong dull ache in the jaw. It has only been 5 days since that appointment but I am ready to just have the tooth pulled. I was originally on Penicillin VK after the first appointment and am now on Clindamycin. I did notice on the x-ray it seemed one of the canals was just the slightest overfilled. I have been back to the endodontist and of course he says his root canal is just fine and to give it time. So frustrated and exhausted from being in pain. How long should I give it? Just so worried it's going to end up being a failed root canal...
