laRubiaBonita Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 sooo, i had the root canal last thursday. was not in too much pain until, sat, night and literally i am in tears if i do not pump tylenols and ibuprofen. the dentist did some crown lengthening, where they cut some of your gum back.....so that kills too. when it isreally bad, and i cry.....it feels like the right side of my face will explode.....and i wish it would to relieve the pain and pressure. The dentist Rx-ed me percocet....which i did not have to use until sat, and i am out as of yesterday. i called the dentist on tuesday, and inquired about the pain, basiacally he said everyone is differebt and it is probably normal to feel pain for a week. I am dying......should i call him back, and get more apin meds? at least the pain seemed more bearable with the medicine? :( Link to post Share on other sites
Outcast Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Pain is a bugger. You have to stay ahead of it - once it starts to hurt, it's hard to reel back. If your regular painkillers (for headache or whatever) don't work, for sure get another prescription. Be on the lookout for infection. Don't mean to scare you but sometimes pain can be caused by infection so do all the cleaning stuff the dentist told you to do. Link to post Share on other sites
