I had a root canal on tooth days ago. Still taking strong pain pills and antibiotics. Dentist said he does not know anything else to do. Any suggestions?
First continue taking antibiotics, secondly if the root canal was completed you SHOULD NOT be having any pain at all. If your dentist does not know what else to do, you should search out another dentist that can help you. also if you are in that much pain that you need pain killers, something else could be going on. See another dentist as soon as you can, but stay on the antibiotics to be safe.
What's a drug free alternative to getting pain medication at the dentist?
There is no drug free pain medication alternative at the dentist. This is due to the fact that there is no way to prevent pain at the dentist. The only way that might help is to use some form of numbing agent. That might help a little bit.
Is it normal to have swelling in the face and gum 4 days after a root canal procedure?
The root canal is a dental procedure which is used to repair damaged teeth. Sometimes it takes a few days for recovery, but if you are having serious pain or swelling after root canal treatment, then contact your dentist as soon as possible to schedule next appointment.
What does my baby experience if I'm in excruciating pain from a very painful root canal and am 34 weeks pregnant?
your baby does not feel anything. the pain is limited to only you. pain after a root canal is normal for up to a week. If the pain does not start to diminish though after a week you need to call your dentist and maybe get on an antibiotic.
Should an abscessed tooth be removed or treated if there is no pain but the X-rays show the tooth to be abscessed?
Yes, you should have an abscessed tooth either removed (or a root canal) done. It depends on what the dentist says. First, the dentist will put you on antibiotics to be sure the abscess is cleared up and then do the procedure. Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.

Why would I have pain in different tooth than the one with the root canal?
I wished I had an answer to this question. During a root canal recently I could feel pain in a completely different tooth that wasn't even being worked on. And ever since then it has been bothering me? My dentist doesn't know why? WTH?
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.
Is vomiting normal after a root canal?
I would think not. The vomiting could be from the stress or fear, or if you are taking a pain killer. Call your dentist immediately. If you still have pain, pain can also cause nausea in some individuals, but I am likely to think it could be from pain killers you are taking.
Can you get dry socket from a root canal?
No. By definition, a 'dry socket' is a painful condition that occurs following a tooth extraction, not a root canal. That is not to say that you cannot have pain following a root canal. You can, particularly if the tooth was acutely infected at the time of the root canal, or if the root canal is incomplete. You should consult with the dentist who performed the procedure and follow his/her recommendations.
Have had second root canal on same molar Infection keeps coming back Am on antibiotics They work for awhile and the pain illness returns Should you have it pulled or keep trying to kill the infec?
When you have a root canal generally it is performed during 2 to 3 visits. Do you mean second visit to root canal? If you are being told this is a second root canal on the same tooth, find another dentist and stay on the antibiotics. Minimally get another opinion before making a decision. Get x-rayed, and checked again, you should not have pain or swelling after the root canal. Possible underlying other causes.
