[|Human|] Hello.I previously had a root canal performed on my left top 1st molar right next to my cuspid. I had severe pain a month after it was done and when I went to get the permanent crown put on, I told the dentist and he gave me a stronger antibiotic. I took it and pain was gone but I was nervous to go ahead and get the permanent crown put on so I didnt go back to get it done. Here again, I have the same pain but worse. It is shooting up into the left side of my temple, my whole left jaw, my neck and now my left arm feels as though Im loosing feeling in it as well as my hand.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Recurrent pain in the root canal treated tooth is usually suggestive of presence of infection or the incomplete removal of infection. I would advise you to recons ult your endodontist and have a radiograph done to know the status of the root canal treatment. If there is presence of infection, retreatment will help solve the pain. For pain Ibuprofen can provide relief if not allergic to any medicine. Antibiotics may be required on check up. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
