Sensation In Teeth After Root Canal Posted: 06-22-05 07:07am
I have had a root canal of my front upper
teeth. I still feel some sensation now in
that region though its nowhere near the
pain which was earlier. Can root canal
gurantee that there could be nothing wrong
with that teeth? This was said by my
dentist.

I have had 3 root canals and I know what
you mean by a sensation. When I press on
my gums above where I had the last one I
can still feel something. Not pain
really, but its hard to describe.
Technically if they removed all of the
root you should have no problems. My
sister had one done and they did not
remove it all and she ended up with a lot
of pain and an abscess and went thru a
whole ordeal.
I've never had that happen, however a dead
tooth will become weak and brittle over
the years.
My oldest root canal was done 10-15 yrs
ago and the tooth is now darker and
yellower than the rest of my teeth and it
is full of cracks. The back fell out of
it once and I just got it filled, but I
will need to get a metal post inserted and
a veneer eventually. I've only put this
off since it costs a lot (about $1000 cnd)
and my insurance might not cover it.
Other than that, you shouldnt have any
problems that I know of. I hope this
helped
