Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi Jeanne, I'll bet you get that alot??? you know, the hygiene ) Just trying to find humor wherever I can. Thanks for the information. I know that I've read alot of stuff about root canals here, but it's clearly not enough. I think I need to look at all the posts again from Dr. Wes and everyone, and then go back to the dentist. I have scheduled another visit for next Monday since he's out this week. By the way, this tooth was finished last Wed. and now hurts like crazy... coincidental??? Terry > Terry, > > I'm going to jump in here with Myra.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Hi Jeanne, Yeah, I just had it done last Wed. and on Friday it started to hurt. Still does, and now some of the other teeth around it hurt too... I can bite on it, but I have to be real gentile about it.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Hi Terry, Are you saying you just had the root canal and it still hurts? My root canal was horribly sensitive for a month after it was completed. I couldn't even bite on it. I went to the DDS who said it was o.k. Obviously . . . years later I found out it was not. If the tooth hurts, there's a reason. In retrospect, I should have found a second opinion. No... My guess is it's not a coincidence. Good Luck.
