My mom is currently having a discharge on the upper two front teeth that tastes bitter and causes stomach upset. She had a root canal and then a apicoectomy and now this. She is also having severe drymouth. We have been to 3 dentist and her GP and no one can find anything wrong. She has lost 13 lbs since January and can t sleep. Any idea what could be causing this?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query, If the pain after root canal is intense, this could be a sign of complications and possibly of a root canal failure existing inflammation of the periodontal ligaments around the root tips of the infected tooth is the most common cause of tooth pain after root canal treatment. A new abscess may be formed as a result of a bone infection due to bacteria that were forced beyond the tip of the root prior or during the endodontic procedure infecting the jaw bone. If there are signs of infection antibiotics will be prescribed. If an abscess is formed, post root canal pain can be relieved temporarily by providing Chat Doctor.
