Just posting here for traffic because I'm slowly going crazy!
I've had a toothache since Monday and I couldn't get a dentist appointment until next Monday so with the help of painkillers I've just been waiting it out. This morning I woke up and the pain was worse, I had a bit of a panic about it being the weekend and got myself an emergency appointment at the dentist. I've just got back and I'm confused and still in pain, the dentist did an X-ray and said that she can't see anything wrong and the tooth that is hurting is a root canal tooth which is basically a dead tooth so shouldn't be giving me any pain. She has given me some antibiotics but told me not to expect them to work because there isn't anything wrong and to go back on Monday to see my regular dentist.
This tooth is killing me so I'm not sure how there isn't anything wrong?!
Has anyone else had this? Has anyone had pain in a root canal tooth? The root canal was done about 2 years ago if not a bit longer.
