Should I be on painkillers for a month?
Question:
Dear dentist
I now have over a longer period struggled with tooth pain and I fear that it will know.
The summer of 2008 I switch dentists because of relocation, here will I made some holes. Immediately after I bothered by pain in the posterior upper molars on one side and then my dentist lubricates my teeth and gives me a softer toothbrush. The teeth continue to be sore - and then I thought that my problems arose in connection with the new dentist, I choose to switch.
One day I suffer from severe pain in my head one half, it comes in an "attack" by a few minutes periodically. I only do to the doctor because I think it's sinuses, then to guard the dentist that gives me some painkillers and suggests a root canal in my own dentist. I have started a root canal a day before I go away for a 5 month stay in Spain with the message that I must follow it up down there. Down down a dentist something cleansing (camphor-like) in and it can according to him, allowed to sit for the next 5 months. During this period I practically painless. July 2009 I get followed up on rodbehandlingen, it is cleaned and rinsed several times (it hurts in between each time) so she dare not close it. When the pain is reduced and then shut it, I have no problems until about August, when it starts to hurt a little once in a while - now it is gone to and I take ibuprofen f
players bid to keep it off. I was at the dentist yesterday and she took a picture and could not see anything. She removed my wisdom tooth (next to the tooth root canal treatment) and gave me a penicillin regimen that I'm at now and told to come back in a month. I think that's a long time to be on painkillers.
I would really just hear you, whether it is normal procedure, and if you see what I have written, my dentist take care of it as she should. That I have no chance even to assess.
The pain I can best describe as a kind of "terminal" as if there is excess pressure in the tooth (and the pain also in the teeth next to it, and some of them at the bottom of that page)
Thank you in advance for answers
Sincerely. Mette
Answer:
Dear Josephine,
It's a very boring situation you've ended up in. It's always hard to evaluate something when there have been several dentists involved, since we do not have a thorough knowledge of the entire course of the disease. And it's also hard for me to comment on anything so specific.
I think your current dentist is true from the problem she is facing at present. It is not uncommon that patients are told to take painkillers for a period to see if the pain decreases or disappears altogether. My recommendation is that you follow your dentist's instructions, also with regard to the painkillers. But if you think that the pain does not subside or to keep going, you should visit your dentist again.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
Dentist Joan Olsen
