Root Canal Issue

[happylabs]

I feel your pain. I had a root canal many years ago.

Also, my coworker went through this a couple months ago. Started out with a root canal and ended up having a major infection. She was off work for almost 2 weeks!

I had a root canal done about 20 years ago. It was in the back right, next to last tooth. I had a crown put in. The crown fell out twice. Then I had what they call an Apicoectomy which involves actually removing part of the root. So, now I have one root and a half. I had a new crown made and that one kept falling out. Finally I just left it out. I have been planning on just having the remaining little bit of tooth removed since it is way in the back but haven't done it yet. The doc wanted to do a bridge to the tune of $2,000.00. I passed on that.

Hope you get this straightened out and feel better soon. There is nothing worse than mouth pain!

Kim, please head to your doc or the ER and get back to us. That sounds very serious.

Oh Kim, I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. I hope you feel better soon.
Going to the ER isn't a bad idea. I'm sitting in a hospital bed typing this right now because of a wisdom tooth extraction gone wrong.

How are you doing today, Kim? I've been thinking of you.

Eww, I hope you are feeling better.

And yes, Kim., do get back to us. Hope you are doing better, too.

I hope you feel better soon! That sounds terrible and tooth pain can be the most miserable type of pain there is! Let us know how things are when you can.

Sorry I disappeared guys. I worked all day yesterday and was just too exhausted to even look at the computer last night. I woke up this morning feeling MUCH better. I even ATE something

Today at work was almost normal for me. I took pain pills only once during my shift and didn't watch the clock for the time that it was ok to take them. I'm going to try to eat dinner tonight.... fingers crossed I can

My jaw is very, very sore. I can feel a swollen gland. Its rock hard like a little marble. I'm on antibiotics, so this should calm down in a bit.

All I know is the fever is gone. I can put a little bit of pressure on my tooth without pain.

I never, ever, want to go through that again.

Glad to hear you are feeling better!
