Question 1

tooth pain since having root canal and crown in january.doc has adjusted bite.still hurts.want to have it pulled.do u have to have abx for tooth pull?

Accepted Answer

See an endodontist: Endodontists are dentists who have at least 2-3 years of advanced training in root canals. They are experts at diagnosing complications after root canal treatment  and use advanced special equipment to treat patients efficiently and comfortably.

Question 2

upper molar crowned, root canalled(same tooth), 3 roots done by x-ray shown, still mild tooth pain always, does this mean 4th? canal?

Accepted Answer

Quite likely.: Quite likely. The first upper molars often have a fourth canal commonly called the mb 2. (mesial buccal). Many endodontic specialists use high powered microscopes to detect these very small canals. My suggestion would be to have an evaluation by an endodontist that uses this technology.

Question 3

molar tooth with crown has very obvious fistula pus tract where tooth and gum meet. no tooth pain. not sensitive to hot/cold. see an endodontist or ?

Accepted Answer

Fistula....: I personally advise you first see a dentist to discuss your options based upon a clinical exam and x-rays. You should understand the pros and cons of each option and prognosis of Endodontic treatment followed by restorative treatment. Your General Dentist may then elect to treat you or refer you to an Endodontist (or Oral Surgeon).

Question 4

can tooth pain make you sick?

Accepted Answer

Question is  ?: Sick as in physically ill with fever, nausea, etc ?  Depends on the person, as pain can induce many bodily reactions and responses. If the pain is from an infected tooth and infected bone and tissue, yes you can be sick, but from the infection. See your Dentist to diagnose the source of the pain and provide the best treatment to relieve it. You may get some TEMPORARY relief from alleve / advil (ibuprofen).

Question 5

what can someone do about tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Call a dentist: Until you get in to see your dentist, take OTC pain meds. Other than that, there's not much more you can do.

Question 6

how can i relieve extreme tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Dental Care: Only dental treatment can relieve extreme tooth pain. The tooth may be infected, may need root canal therapy, or might need extraction. These are all things that you personally cannot do. Please call a dentist in Glendale for an appointment.

Question 7

should i still go to work if i have tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: In some cases you may be able to go about with a mild toothache, including going to work. However, it is important to determine the cause of the ache to avoid complications of infection.

Question 8

i have severe tooth pain all of a sudden, what to do?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: Call and set up an appointment with a dentist right now. Take otc pain medication as you would for a headache.

Question 9

can sinusitis cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are only 2 layers of cells separating your maxillary sinuses from your upper molar root tips. If you have sinusitis you may have sore feet. Sit down, lean forward and put your face between your knees. If pressure/pain noticeably increases, it's probably a sinus problem. If so, see your PCP or Urgent Care. If not, see your Dentist.
