[|Human|] I have had a root canal done couple weeks ago , the first part of the treament was fine, got relief from having it cleaned, filed etc.. it was under a bridge towards back teeth. Anyway , when I went back for second part dentist had to build core with a platinum post, I guess he used sealers too, right at that moment I felt my sinuses swelling up and I have been sick since then with headaches etc.. I am very chemically sensitive as I have fibromyagia. Should I have the tooth extracted? Then I will lose my bridge..any solutions to this problem?
[|AI|]  Hello, Have you had a follow-up visit with your dentist and discussed your symptoms? I suggest an evaluation with a root canal specialist before considering an extraction. There may have been some sinus reaction to your infection, and you need time for this to heal completely. Antibiotics may help improve your ability to heal. There are surgical endodontist procedures that can treat resistant infections. Removal of the post and core is possible if you have a reaction to the material, but this should all be contained inside the tooth and canal system. There is something wrong if the post is outside the tooth or root. Look into all possibilities for treatment before disturbing your bridge. Any loss of a tooth under a bridge can cause removal of the bridge or weaken it. Make sure your periodontal condition is sound, and you do not have an unrelated sinus infection. I hope this helps, and you are able to retain your tooth witChatDoctorfort. Thank you for your inquiry.
