I had a root canal and root filling last Tuesday. The tempory filling that the Dentist had given a week prior to that had cure all pain I had been feeling but the real permanent filling from last Tue has given me lots of pain.
After 2 days of maxing out on Paracetamol and Ibuprofen I went back to se the dentist. He said the pain was normal and gave me 1 strip of anti inflamatories to help settle it down. That was Thursday, its now the early hrs of Sunday night and Im still in great pain. I
ve used up his tabs and am back to maxing out on Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. I`m also using Bonjela on my gum and ice.
My question is can anyone give me an idea of how long this pain should last based on their own experience or that of someone they know?
