Hello!
Four days ago I had an apicoectomy on the upper second premolar. Everything was fine, but today the tooth started to hurt and it is throbbing badly. It is also very sensitive to touch. I am taking an antibiotic and would like to know whether I should come back to the dental office, since the stitches will not be removed until 8 November.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!
Swelling, redness, pain... can be consequences of the procedure described. Most often, problems do not occur immediately after the operation but a few days after the procedure. Cooling, antibiotic therapy and analgesics are treatments that improve the condition described. An examination at the dental office is never unnecessary.
Have a nice day!
