Kind regards,
I have been treating my upper right lateral incisor for half a year. It started with pain that I felt as pressure during physical work (lifting). The dentist opened the tooth and placed medication that kills the nerve. Everything was fine until the next examination, then she opened the tooth, cleaned it and placed a temporary filling. After that the tooth started hurting only when I moved or when I ran my tongue along the palate toward the tooth. She opened the tooth and left it open for 3 days, then repeated the procedure and again I had a filling. After 1 week the pain returned. I went to another dentist who did the same, but with a laser. Unfortunately unsuccessfully, and after two changes of medication the pain is still the same..... an annoying pressure and a sensation of my heartbeat. And when I run my tongue along the palate toward the tooth, I feel a sharp “prick” at the top of the tooth. What could be done?

Dear Sir/Madam!
The duration and procedure of root canal treatment depend on many factors. The success or positive response of the tooth and periodontal tissues to therapy is checked by clinical examination and X-ray findings. How you feel and the presence of pain are not always the only indicators of treatment success. I suggest an X-ray and confidence in the treatment.
Have a nice day!
