    Fuck a root canal , they just pulled my severely infected tooth. Had a gnarly abscess, half my face swollen after, pain to the point of seeing stars. Couldn’t eat, sleep or do anything. They pulled the tooth, gave me a week of antibiotics. This is day 7 and I feel like a new man. The infection isn’t gonna come back cause they pulled that bich outta me.

I went through a couple abscesses without going to a doctor before this one and they can heal on their own, but it takes forever and they can spread the infection. To your jaw bone, to your blood. I gave this one 3 days to see if it went away.. it didn’t. I can’t even recommend waiting though. That’s what killed this 27 year old.

      @@citticat2 but you also said they always just injure it more? That's is absolutely false. Sure, some dentists mess up people's teeth and require extraction, but often times, that really isn't the fault of the dentist, it's the fault of the patient for not taking good care of their mouth and getting the tooth so badly messed up that it is beyond repair. Most times when a surgery goes wrong is because the tooth was already on the brink of no return.

    I had dealt with inflammation for a decade CHOSTOCHONDRITIS . They still recommend root canals. Three failed at the same time. By the time i decided on my own what to do two rounds antibiotics. I went to a different dentist because they did everything there. They offered to redo them costing thousands of dollars 3 rd round of antibiotics. Since then i had thyroid toxicity storm crisis, high blood pressure. Pains on my right side head to toe. Arthritis on that side, asiatica, titinus ear,. I have 4 root canals on that side. I just got 1 pulled out January 2024 had a black root was infectedand painful. Now on antibiotics again lymph node golf size ball no warning but my right ear had been minor pain. Im getting that lower right root canal tooth out ant the top two. Its a torture. I watched " The root cause " thats been my life spending thousands of dollars on health . They don't recommend root canals for anybody specifically the people with autoimmune illness. Profit before health .

    Was on Penicillin for a week while waiting for my root canal. It helped mask the pain, but it did not get rid of the abscess. So after the root canal, the Dentist prescribed Clindamycin. Day after procedure the abscess had started to flatten out. Day 2 is even flatter, but still tender to the touch and tapping on the tooth makes it sore. Hopefully by the time my Clindamycin treatment is done the abscess is gone.

Its so much pain you often need to take at least 800mg. Sometimes id alternate between Tylenol and ibprofin every 3 to 5 hours most times I couldn't make it past 3 hours. I would not push it too far past the time you start feeling pain cause it gets so intense its hard to control. Like I said toradol is way better and stronger but its not ment for long term

    Antibiotic/amoxicillin only control and manage the pain of an aching tooth cause by abscess inside, Antibiotics are not designed to be taken for more than 1 week, hence why dentist give patients amoxicillin for 5 or 7 days before returning to them for their dental procedure, in HOPES that the meds taken would be enough to let the anesthesia work properly during the operation

    I had 10 yrs of TN like pain on upper left. Went to dentist 10 yrs ago & said I must need a root canal. But teeth were fine! I was feeling electrical zaps when looking up. I had a small filling in area & not long after, the dentist replaced it, in case it was cracked. Didn’t help. ENT, Dr’s & dentist’s no help. Just had to deal w/ intense upper L tooth pain especially before rain. My head is a barometer!
    Fast forward to recently, diagnosed w/ fast growing & large cavity in back upper left tooth (#15). Needed root canal. I told them the tooth was sensitive to tea. They said warm temps means higher chance of needing root canal. The past 10 yrs, when my teeth would hurt, it included most teeth on upper left.
    I had the root canal & it has been difficult getting scheduled. I’ve told them for the past few months that I’m still feeling pain, but only when tapping #15 on cheek side.
    Endodontist said there must still be an infection. She didn’t give me an antibiotic at the time of root canal. I just finished 7 days of Clindamycin & I still have the pain.
    Endo told me her front root canal tooth from 15 yrs ago still hurts when tapped. I just want to make sure I’m getting the correct info before they place the crown. I didn’t ask endo, but with the roots being so close to the sinus wall, I’d think I need that roots trimmed? Thanks for your advice! I’ll report back.

Later the next day I found and emergency dentist that was open cuz of my impacted infected wisdom tooth extracted and there was puss when they extracted it so they gave me antibiotics for that and man I ended up going to the ER that same day cuz I reacted badly to the antibiotics and it was freaking crazy cuz I felt like my organs and intestines were being pulled out, that’s how painful it was. So i stopped taking the antibiotics and I did it naturally. I used peppermint oil, clove oil, silver, and salt water. Man I healed right away. In 7days it closed up and it healed. No puss and no infection and check up went great. Except my gut turned sensitive due to that dumbass antibiotic and had to heal from that. Which is why I don’t trust antibiotics cuz some people really do need it but it’s a way for doctors, dentist, pharmacist and government to make that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ cuz then people get worst or end up with more health problems by taking antibiotics when it’s not always necessary to take them.
