d a root canal about a little over a month ago. The tooth had had a filling in it before, but due to my fears I hadn’t been going for cleanings. In the summer my face on the left side (tooth is on bottom left all the way in the back) started to hurt and have pain in the upper jaw. Endo said it was referred pain and did a root canal.
Now, a bit more than a month and my tooth hurts and feels like it’s burning, and it hurts my face and sends pressure and pain up to my eye and to under my nose. It also makes my eye seem to be dry?
I went back to endo and he said just to wait and let it heal, and the only other thing we could do is pull it.
The thing is, it only gets sore and hurts when I use my tongue or finger to push the tooth in one direction. It also hurts when I bite down directly on it. After agitating it on purpose it hurts for the day, but then gets better and is not noticeable anymore.
I’m terrified my trigeminal nerve has been affected by the tooth decay and I will be in pterrible pain for the rest of my life.
