Hi there
I'm hoping someone can help.
Following a really painful few months with pain in one of my front canines and not getting answers from my NHS Dentist as to why, I self referred to a private Endodontist who recommended root canal.
Had this done (paid around £780 all in) and within a couple of weeks was back at the surgery for more treatment as the pain in my gum and up by my nose was so severe.
He recommended an Apicoectomy which I had done 2 weeks ago. This cost £650.
Had the stitches removed last week and although the tooth in question felt a little "numb" still he said it was normal to have some tenderness and arranged a review for 6 months time.
However in the last couple of days I'm noticing my teeth along the whole side are having intermittent pain, both in the gums and the teeth. It goes from a dull ache to occasional sharp pain. My teeth are otherwise in good condition, he believed that the tooth has died as a result of braces I had as a teen.
I called the practice today and the receptionist could only say that it could be the tissue healing in my gums, or otherwise I should book an appointment to return.
I really don't have any more money to keep going back and I wonder if there's anyone with any experience who could suggest anything or advise if some pain after these procedures can be normal weeks later?
Thanks in advance
