Endodontics (root canal treatment)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello,
a year and a half ago my dentist treated my upper first molar; for quite some time (a few months) I have had pain high above that molar, above the gum, where the bone can be felt
this bone hurts only when touched; the tooth and the gum are not painful to touch;
This pain on pressure probably originates from the first molar; what could it be?
Thank you in advance for your answer;
Kind regards, Stanka
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The pain is a consequence of increased pressure beneath the periosteum at that site. The condition is probably the result of current inflammation of the periodontal tissues, perhaps also of the bone, at the very tip of the root of the first molar, which was filled with filling material after the treatment was completed. The condition will probably subside on its own.
Have a nice day!
