Recently, my dentist found a deep whole and she said she'll need a root canal!! I am ONLY 12! Last time, she found all the roots and took out the nerves, but didn't finish it so she put in temporary cotton!!! For 2 days so far, it hurts like crazy! I bought Tylenol kids pain reducer and I am only supposed to take 3 of those but I think I took more than 5!!! Then Tylenol extra strenght, I am not even supposed to take them but I took 2!!!!!!!!!! Please Help!
What can I do?? I don't want it ripped out! It's at the top, the last tooth on my right!!!!!!

Call the office back. They may need to re-open the tooth (remove the temp filling) to let some of the infection drain out.
They put in a temp fill for this reason. It is easier to remove the temp fill.
If she had finished the root canal on the first visit, she would have to remove all of her work. Doing a root canal in more than one visit is not uncommon.
But anyway, call her back up to see what she can do.

HELLO,
YOU'RE BETTER OFF TAKING KIDS MOTRIN. THIS WILL HELP WITH THE INFLAMATION WHICH ALSO CAUSES PAIN.
