Case Summary
Root Canal
Teeth: 18
Case Description
36 hours ago I left an emergency dentist appointment being told that the tooth where i had previously had a root canal held an infection. The dentist told me that a couple days of penicillin would do the trick for the short term... He also gave me a scrip for darvastet which has done nothing for the pain... It is a day and a half later and my gums are swolen and it feels as though it is worse... could this be something other than an infection. I prevously chewed tobacco for five years while in college... but have not done so for months... Please I am scared and anxious for clarity... Will this pain go away? Should it already be gone after close to two days of antibiotics? TIA

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
