Dentist: Go back and see your Dentist or specialist Endodontist. May or may not be related to root canal treatment. May require some additional treatment, such as antibiotics or gum treatment. May be a totally unrelated problem, such as a viral infection. Would be wise to have area reevaluated.

3 months post Apicoectomy in tooth #14 w bone graft. No pain but slight itchy feeling inside root area. Very aware of the tooth. Been back to endo twice for checkups and had 2 oral exams, no CT, and said everything looks great. Could it have failed?
An endodontic apicoectomy may save a tooth root but it seems so barbaric a procedure even in the hands of an experienced endodontist. Care to comment?
My gums have been really itchy for about 4 days. I have always been really good with cleaning my teeth and I don't know how to stop it?
I had wisdom teeth extraction. My gums on the top and bottom jawline are really itchy and irritated and it's away from the extraction sites. It's been going on for about 4 days now. There is no swelling or change of colour.
Today, Sunday, I can now see a fistula pus tract at #14 post apicoectomy 2 months ago. Does my periodontist extract or the endodontist?
