it took 3 visits over a few weeks to complete my root canal...and it still hurts. It's not abscess or nerve pain, it's different. They filled it on Wednesday, and it hasn't stopped throbbing. It's a dull throbbing, but a throbbing none-the-less. There is also a very strange kind of pain up near the apex, like there is a foreign object inside my gums. Almost like someone is sticking me with a needle. I can't smile or move my upper lip to far without this awful stabbing sensation. I'm *REALLY* sick of being in this kind of pain in the front of my mouth. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! I called the dentist yesterday (only 1 day after finishing the root canal) and he said it needs time to quiet down, because of all the trauma (years of hard clenching and grinding) it may take a while to heal. He said to wait until Monday or Tuesday, and if it still hurts to call back. Has anyone had any experience like this, what would be causing that stabbing needle-like pain??? Please help...
