I’ve had a root infection since before Christmas. Waited 6 months for RCT and completed the first treatment. Was sent away with a temporary filling which has broken and been replaced several times already . Waiting for an appointment to go back for the next RCT but no availability for another 5 months. Broken the temporary filling again- im not even eating using that bloody tooth I’m just eating soft foods and it still broke. My tooth pain had eased off after the first treatment and I’m getting the broken temporary filling fixed in 10 days. But it has become excruciating again, like it was before my first root canal treatment. My face is throbbing and I can’t bite down on that side of my face as the toothache is so severe. I’m actually upset as I thought the pain was over with the root canal and now it’s back again. Does this mean it’s infected all over again? Or is it just because the temporary filling is broken and awaiting being fixed again?
it was so bad a few months ago before the RCT that I didn’t sleep for 3 days in a row with the pain and my face was throbbing. I was almost screaming in pain at one point because of how extreme it was in my ear and cheek and tooth. Im so worried it goes back to how sore it was before. I thought starting the RCT would stop the pain from ever starting again and I don’t want it to end up like this way it was before
not an AIBU just a frustrated rant/cry
