Hey there,
A week ago, I did a root canal on my lower premolar. I can't bite on it since it's been really sensitive for the past two days. The agony is unbearable and I'm unable to sleep at night and must rely on painkillers exclusively. My stress is horrible, and it throbs whenever I bend forward. Is there anyone who can help me or has had a similar experience?
I suspect an infection or an abscess.
Good luck!
My DDS does not ever do RC. This seems to be what a lot of general dentistry practices do. They may do the filling after the RC is done but do not do any RC work or close to the bone work. My last RC work was on a molar & was abt $1200. It is expensive. Fortunately we have dental insurance and they paid 50% and our health insurance paid for some of the anesthesia. Same thing happened on health insurance paying for anesthesia when our son had to see an oral surgeon for extractions after his spanner & b 4 his braces went in. I was surprised our employer sponsored health insurance paid for anesthesia. Both had a nurse anesthetist in their practice. It is worth asking if any anesthesia is covered by your health insurance.
DON’T PUT IT OFF!!!
