Case Description
hi all,'
i had a root canal in may. it is now july and there is still tooth sensitivity to touch. there is no pain associated with chewing. but there is pain associated with direct finger pressure to the tooth. there is a temp crown on there at the moment. is this normal? i already went through a 10 day period of amoxicilin in may that cleared up any residual pain/swelling that i had after surgery. the xrays look good on the root canal. is another round of amoxicilin something that is recommended or is this something that needs to be re-treated by the endo? if there is no pain associated with chewing, should i simply ignore it and live with the pain to touch in the tooth and permanently crown it anyway? thanks for any advice.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
