[|Human|] hi i had a root canal done in july. well 2 months later i had the worse tooth ach in the tooth that had the root canal,and it lasted for 2 days. when i woke up and washed my face i noticed i had a small pea sized lump in my sheek and the lump was over the tooth that had the root canal. i have been to a ENT and he said that it was a swollen lymph node and bc i am pregnant he cant do anything about it all he can do is keep an eye on it. well that was 2 wks ago and yesterday the tooth started to hurt when i applied pressure on it and i noticed that the lump in my cheek was bigger. what is going on and is this due to the root canal could the root of the tooth be infected?
[|AI|]  Hi, I have read your problem, it might be because of chronic infection in your tooth which was already present in your tooth from the beginning it seems. This is known as Periapical abscess, ENT surgeon is not capable to solve your problem, only good ENDODONTIST can solve your problem. You have not mentioned your tooth number and site (rt or Lt). Because in posterior teeth, there may be 3-4 canals are present in tooth. In proper root canal treatment all canals should be 100% free from infection, then only lump will go. Now days the latest root canal system WAVE ONE facility is available, in that way root canal treatment can be performed in 1 hour only with 100%perfection. This procedure can be done without medicine because you are pregnant. First search good ENDODONTIST for this latest treatment, he will solve your problem 100%. Re root canal treatment is also possible easily. All the best.
