Hi
I am 7 weeks post root canal on my front tooth. Each day is a struggle with the grinding pain. Most of the time it is about 3 or 4, not really bad but constantly there. I went back to the endodontist after 10 days and he looked at it and said it was healing and could take a few weeks, but I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. It makes me snappy, withdrawn and not wanting to talk as it hurts all the time. I have had a course of antibiotics with no results. I am just wondering if this is going to get any better, but take longer, or whether I should just have the tooth out now. It is my front tooth, though, which brings its own problems in what to do to replace it. The treatment has already cost me around £800, with x rays, CT scan, root canal and medication.
Anyone out there that can offer me a crumb of hope that this will eventually settle??
