Infection like a sumbitch. Been there, and it sucks, bad!
Get to an after hours clinic and get that shit addressed ASAP. Usually it's an antibiotic pack and some Tylenol 3's to remedy. The infection spreads quick and can damage nerves and shit, as well as go systemic...don't dink around. |

Taking advil for it. It'll hurt when I bite down, which may be because of how the bite was set. I can't get back in until Wednesday.

Yeah, just keep taking pain meds. Pretty soon the pressure will cause the tooth to crack vertically, and then your brand new root canal can be dug out and replaced with an implant.
Or, you know, you could just get the problem fixed sooner. |

just had another root canal last week, only thing that was sore was the area where he put in the shots beforehand. Sounds infected, it happens. Get it fixed ASAP, do not wait....
if there's a build up of puss or crap inside when they open it up the pressure release alone will help you feel better, again do not wait... |

Try this if you cant get back to the dentist today.
Aleve D sinus and cold med non drowsy. 
It worked for me till I got to the dentist to get the damn tooth pulled, it was a combination of the infection and sinuous problem that make it worse. " I have had 2 root canals and both were pulled 8 to 10 years later" They suck, So last week they wanted to do a root canal on a tooth I broke LOL my new dentist did not even try to convince me that pulling the tooth was a bad idea after I told him of the last 2 root canals. |

I had a root canal on an infected tooth. He got all the nerve tissue, but the residual infecting sprouted back up a few days later. The shots didn't touch the pain, so he ended up drilling though the temp filling by hand. One he got in, puss was PUMPING out.* Once the pressure was gone, so was the pain. *My dentist is fucking great at his job, and a gun guy to boot. He opened up at 7AM on a Saturday, just to take care of me. He was like
 when he got through the temp, and the puss came out, then he handed me a mirror.... Every heart beat, yellowish shit was pumping out of the tooth  |

Something went wrong. I've had seven root canals and never experienced any post-procedural pain whatsoever. One time when they cleaned out all four roots in a molar I experienced a little discomfort for a few weeks - but never pain.
Did you go to this guy to save a few bucks?  |

I do root canals all the time and pain that starts a few days after the procedure usually means it's infected. Get on the phone, get some antibiotics and get back in to see the doc ASAP.

My root canal on 10/8 took about a week to stop hurting. It was real bad for 3-4 days then slowly the pain went away. If it is not better by Wednesday, I would call.

Get it taken care of... Speaking from experience. I played tough guy on mine and lost all my upper teeth and a whole lot of bone because of it. If you want the pleasure of having all of your upper teeth pulled and chunks of jaw bone removed....play tough guy, self medicate and ignore it for several months.
Eta: worst part was that I actually had really good dental insurance and plenty of money to pay for dentist...just played stubborn and thought nah...I don't need to see dentist, it'll be fine etc. |

We were taught that ideally, you'd first open up the root chamber, clean the canal, them temporize after flushing with chlorox, drying, and placing in a small amount of anti-inflammatory aromatic oil, such as capsaicin, eugenol or thymol. These oils inhibit cyclooxygenase (we didn't know that!) which reduces the formation of inflammatory eicosanoids such as prostaglandin E2. This diminishes pain.
The 1 week between opening the canal and filling it allowed any infection to resolve and drain through the canal. The canal was filled a week later, then posted and built-up. Also, a practical point was to grind the tooth "out of occlusion" during the healing phase. This also took the tooth out of function while it healed. Endodontically treated teeth would need to be crowned anyway (they become more 'brittle' after they have a root canal), so while the tooth healed, it was a good idea to take them out of function. |
