Hi, On December 4th my crown on tooth #18 popped off and started everything. My Dentist re-cemented the crown back on and the pain was excruciating, it went through my mind that something wasn't right. 1 week of non stop pain and I called the dentist back (he is only there on Thursday nights and books up fast).
January 15th he did a root canal on #18 and it was infected so I took 10 days of antibiotics. (he uses the wand machine with 2 different anesthetics). February 4th, root canal on #18 finished and crown saved and put back on but I was still having hot and cold sensations so we scheduled a root canal for tooth #19. Prescribed a Z pack. March 12th root canal on tooth #19, another infected tooth so 10 more days of antibiotics. March 19th emergency visit to dentist for pain. Dentist sanded the crown on #18 down to adjust bite. March 26th another emergency visit to Dentist. He suggests that I see a specialist but then he decides to take the crown off of #18 because I thought it felt like it was throbbing. He had to numb my whole jaw to get the crown off because of the pain. 10 more days of antibiotics. April 2nd went to see an Endodontist, the X-rays didn't show anything wrong with #18 or #19. He did a cold test and found #20 to be sensitive so he did a root canal on #20. April 7th back to Endodontist still in severe pain. He sanded #20 down and gave me 7 days of antibiotics. He did another cold test and #21 now sensitive to cold (#21 is a virgin tooth). April 23rd back to general Dentist to finish root canal on #19. He suggested seeing a neurologist and not have anymore dental work done. After #19 was finished I had one week of no pain but exactly one week later on April 30th the pain came back full fledged. May 5th Endodontist took more X-rays and can see no problems. I now have an appointment for a 2D dental scan with an Oral Surgeon on May 11th. Any ideas on what might be causing all this pain? I can't sleep at night, I'm crabby and frustrated and we are going on vacation May 17th.......been planned for months and can't cancel. Endodontist did give me some vicoden for vacation and another round of antibiotics. Thank you. |
