When do cavities usually hurt?
Cavities typically begin to hurt as the decay gets close to the nerve of the tooth. Once that happens it is time to either get a root canal and crown or have the tooth removed.
I had a part of a tooth break off and it is hollow don to the gums I can see 2 holes Doesn't hurt though Is the tooth dead Will it have to be pulled or have a root canal?
They may be able to save it by putting a cap or crown on it. You are lucky that it doesn't hurt. Hopefully you won't need a root canal, but they will know by taking an Xray of it, and testing you for hot and cold sensitivity. If they can't save the tooth, then yes, they will put it. Especially if it is a very back tooth. You can live without it. Although some may insist that you have a cap, or crown to replace it.
Why after a root canal a tooth still hurts when its pressed on?
The tooth will continue to hurt for a couple reasons, either the nerve in the tooth has been tampered with or it is just still sore.
What are consequences of getting your root canal therapy?
If your tooth needs a root canal and is not painful, then it must be a dead tooth. When a tooth is dead, it is a source of infection which is not good. It is possible that it could hurt in the future due to infection. Better to have the root canal done, because you're trying to save your tooth. If you don't have the root canal treatment done and your tooth continues to decay, the dentist might have to pull that tooth out in the future. Once you pull out your tooth, that's gone forever
Why does it hurt when i oprn my mouth yo eat 5 days after root canal - no pain right after root canal - the pain is on the same side i had the root canal but it doesnt hurt near the tooth?
Many times when the canal was deep and infected the dentist will use special files to widen the canal. This is essentially removing tissue from the tooth. this can cause the gums to be sore. Now if the root was not all removed you would feel pain in the exact tooth. thanks for reading.. Http://www.BrowardDDS.com is my Dental website.
Does your dentist perform root canal procedures?
They do perform root canals for nine hundred dollars. He also gives you a choice of removing the tooth. To remove the tooth is about one hundred. They both hurt, but the root canal saves your tooth and takes much longer to perform.
Why does your gums hurt a week after having a temp crown put on a tooth with a root canal?
More than likely, the gums are either irritated by the temporary crown or they are inflamed due to inadequate oral hygiene. Ask your dentist for a prescription of Chlorhexedine Gluconate .12% (trade names are Peridex or Periogard). Rinse and brush with it daily until your permanent crown is placed.
Why does a molar tooth still hurt two months after a root canal and could the nerve still be in the tooth?
Weird, I had this same problem recently. I had a root canal down and a few months later my tooth started hurting again. I was now going to a different dentist and he took out the filling and the previous dentist didn't fill my tooth right and my nerves were swollen so they had to cut the nerves and do a new root canal with a new filling. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. It is unusual that a tooth would hurt two months after a root canal, although it is not impossible. It might be that the restaurantion done on the tooth is too high, not letting the tooth heal correctly. There are always chances that there was an extra canal that wasn't seen by the operator. You can talk to your dentist about that possibility. He might suggest to wait 6 months.
Why does it hurt under your tongue after root canal?
Many people don't realize that there may be 3 - 4 canals in a tooth and sometimes the dentist may miss the extra canals. Also some dentists will do the root canal and fill the tooth, but a crown or cap is the answer. If it's filled it could be the filling causing the agitation. Please see your dentist for the proper diagnosis.Personal Experience:I HAD A root canal, and topped it off with a $1000.00 crown (gold and composite). About two to three years later, I began to have a little pus "pimple" appear on my gum line near that tooth. My dentist is one of the best and has done about $10,000.00 worth of work in my mouth over the last 12 years. He checked me out and said that he had missed a small piece of "root" in one of my "canals". He apologized, of course. He then drilled a small hole in my cap and crown and sucked out that piece he missed two years ago. He then filled the hole in my crown with a special composite material. If in doubt, SEE YOUR DENTIST.
Why does your crown hurt when you bite down?
Most often it is because part of the crown is too high. That will put extra pressure on that tooth and cause more pain. The dentist can even it out by drilling it a little.
How painful is a root canal for a child?

Why does my tooth hurt when you bite down after new crown?
Don't worry, it will go away lol. If this is happening months or years after the crown, see a dentist because something might be wrong. Hope this helps.
