tooth aches suck! any dentist here?

[luv2liv]

1 day, all of my upper teeth on the right side hurt.
the dentist perform root canal on 2 of them already because they were hurting when she was knocking. those 2 are healing fine.

now, today, the another tooth on the same row is aching the most. i cant even touch it!
what is going on???
i would trade a broken finger for a toothache man. its madness.

she said i should take amoxicillin and wait and see before doing another root canal.

UPDATE 3-2-13
went to another dentist. no choice but to go ahead and perform 3rd root canal.

Just go to a dentist! If you have an infection in the tooth it can spread causing brutal issues.

Internet dentistry is a pretty hard practice.

And most (most, not all) dentists are r-tards. So g'luck with that.

either that or she did a poor job with the 2 original root canals and you'll need a retreat.

the amox is to prevent an infection not to clear up an existing one. are you on 500mg amox 3/day?

also, what number? if it's one of the molars she might have missed a canal, some people have 4th transverse canals that are hard to spot unless you go to a endo who is using a microscope to do the rt tx.

anywho, with that kind of pain, i wouldn't wait, she didn't give you any pain meds? typically ibuprofen 800mg are enough, no need for the heavier shit.

800 mg is not heavy?

800 mg is not heavy?

it is, it's not a narcotic like codeine or vico.

the first root canal done for #4 on monday. she told me to take amox IF the swelling occurs. no swelling.
#3 was a capped tooth and was starting to ache, not severe though. so she removed the cap and root canal it on thursday.

so #3 and #4 do not bother me today until the pain for #5 was excruciating till today.

now that im in a lot of pain with the adjacent tooth #5, she suggest i start taking the amox 3 times a day asap. before doing another root canal. dammit. i've stopped taking ibuprofin 600mg because its useless. really

:thumbsup: I was referred to an Endontist to do my root canal a couple weeks ago. Excellent results too. Highly recommend seeing an Endontist for this type of work.

This guy was awesome. Took me in on a Friday but because I had taken ibuprofin in the AM my tooth wasn't aching and we were unable to determine which tooth it was. The next day it was throbbing and I knew which one it was so I called them up and they came in on a Saturday to do the root canal. I would highly recommend him if you're in the north county san diego area.
