When bottom teeth need dental treatment – including RCT – we have to give the patient an injection called a mandibular block. To adequately numb the tooth , we have to inject the mandibular nerve,. The study noted above took into account the various causes of pain after dental procedures. The classifications are: Odontogenic – Pain that is derived from the tissues of the teeth.
Nonodontogenic – Pain that is caused by factors outside of the tooth tissue.
A root canal involves deep cleaning inside the canals (the inner chamber of the root ) of your tooth , which can in turn irritate surrounding nerves and gums. The pain shouldn’t last forever. I recently had a root canal on an right, upper rear molar.
I told both my dentists and endonist prior to the surgery that I have TMJ , and have had jaw issues after simple. After your root canal procedure, it is normal to have pain after root canal in the form of tooth tenderness. Your tooth is repaired and now has to recover. You may experience pain and tenderness of the tooth , the tooth and surrounding gums, or the entire jaw on that side.
You may find that there is little or no jaw pain after root canal , provided the procedure is conducted as soon as tooth decay or infection is detected.
