Hi,

I am Amit from Mumbai,India. I am 40 ,diabetic since 2008,major depression since 2002. I had a root canal done on my lower left 5 teeth in December 2009. It was OK for the first 2-3 years but then I started to get neuralgia (severe nerve pain) on left side of my head. Also my root canaled tooth had started to pain severely as there was periapical abscess.
So in march,2014 I got the failed root canal extracted. The dentists in India are all very mediocre .There are no biological dentists here. She pulled out my root canaled tooth that had decayed but did not pull out the periodontal
ligament. Nor did she scrape out any bone which may have had any cavitations. She just gave me antibiotic dose of Cefadroxil 500 mg for 5 days and said everything would be OK.
My neuralgia grew worse and
there was sort of numbness in my head since the tooth was extracted. The area under the tooth where there was abscess used to pain with a kinda burning sensation. I noticed the tooth next to this removed tooth
Lower left 4 had become brittle and was paining. So I got it removed 5 days before. Even this time she hasn't removed the ligament or even the bone.
Since last 3-4 days, I see my head neuralgia and numbness has increased. I get night sweats and fever. The wound is healing good. I just started to do some research on dental procedures only 3-4 days before and
I realized what a mess the dentists here have made of me. I am really worried. I feel the ligament from first root canal tooth must have retained the bacteria which caused my adjacent tooth to rot.

I am extremely extremely worried. I feel the toxic bacteria are playing havoc on me. I dont know how if ever I am going to come out of this.

Can anybody tell me why this has happened ? What are my options now ?

Can I come out of this ? Or is it the end of the road for me ? Can I hope of any recovery ?

I have become all the more depressed.

Thanks.

Regards,
Amit.
