Here we go...I had a root canal on tooth 12 the beginning of February. Apparently the tooth had a tiny old filling that leaked. No infection but tooth was dying. Following root canal I had extreme pain. RC was redone in March, pain continued. This past Friday the Endodontist performed an Apicoectomy. There was small infection above the tooth root and some swelling.
I am healing well. Main source of ache is in my chipmunk cheeks. Gums are tender but feel good. No swelling like there was about tooth root any longer.
my question is, is it normal for the Apico tooth to feel different right now? Even a bit tender to pressure? It’s not necessarily painful but a definite “feeling” and slight tenderness to pressure and bite. I thought that if the tooth had no root it would no longer feel sensation.
Just sitting here worrying about this poor tooth and hoping someone has some thoughts on this. And I need to stop “testing” it!
Thank you so much! I’m so insanely worried about this little tooth.
