RN, it should not hurt more if she had a root canal. the nerve is removed during a root canal and there should be no pain. the crown itself may be digging into the gum. just having the crown 'seated' will cause discomfort for a couple of days. yes, she should call the dentist, but it would be pain from the crown's fitting, not from a root canal.

RN, the plumbers finally came at 4:00 today. 6 days since i called! sheesh. anyway, they started in like a couple of 'larry, darryl and my other brother, darryls' and asked where the septic was, etc., as they tried to look through 8 inches of remaining snow...i told them there was only a problem with the master bath and it could not be septic or all the baths and other things would be blocked up, too. the 2 bumbling dudes finally snaked the master bath and it was just a light blockage, as i had originally told them on the phone. one guy really grossed me out when he said, "you wanna hope we don't hafta bring in the big snake, cause it's been used so much today, it would like totally ruin your carpets and floor". ugh. well, the small snake, used through the drains outside the house did just fine, thank you.
sis was up at her cabin, so she came for dinner. i made her stay, even though she was asleep, it made me feel safer, while i watched 'invasion'. LOL
dh will head up from san diego tomorrow. he and dd will come here friday night.
it's just starting to sleet. snow should be here before i wake up. thank God, i went to town tonight and got the essentials: vodka, bloody mary mix, wine, beer and maybe some victuals. LOL

Well she HAS pain and she said it was FIVE days so I'd say she should call the dentist or endodontist.

And certainly plenty of people do indeed have pain after a root canal, me included. If you have an abscess that is often the result, pain.

I've had two root canals in my life one without after pain, one with quite a bit. I've had quite a few crowns and have a bridge because a tooth never existed and that's been replaced twice and I've not had after pain with the crowns. Sensitivity to hot or cold, or percussion, some of which is quite painful, for a time, yes, but not just straight up pain.

RN, i never said she should not call the dentist. we don't even know if yankee HAD a root conal, but a root canal removes the nerve; the nerve is what has feeling. an abcess should have been treated prior to a root canal. i assisted in probably 500 root canals, 22 of them on one patient, a cop who was shot in the face during a robbery in manhattan...
it is most likely the seating of the crown causing the pain, unless one of the nerves was left behind. perhaps one of the roots was not thoroughly cleaned out before the gupta percha was inserted. a crown is usually not put on until the root canal is week or so old. if there was no pain before the crown was seated, it is probably due to the crown....
yes, duh, call the dentist!

anyway, i am just back here to say i am so saddened to hear that chris penn was found dead yesterday. i loved him in 'brotherhood of poland, new hampshire'. he was only 40. way too young.

RN I'm glad Tabbyking got her clogging problem taken care of, and they managed to do it without pulling out the big snake. It sounds like Tabby would rather deal with smaller snakes. RN I am also hoping she is willing to share that Vodka and bloody mary mix.

Right now, thanks to everyone for weighing in about my aching mouth! I am in New York (where I hosted a great screening last night -- I'm feeling really good about it! :-)), so I was so busy I didn't check in here until late -- so my apologies for my late acknowledgement!

I did NOT have a root canal done. I had to have the crown because I had a trauma last year where a part of the tooth broke off. When doing the crown procedure, the dentist said I didn't need a root canal.

It is not a shooting pain...nor does it feel like an infection...my bet is that it's the crown fitting (which is only temporary). I will likely call my dentist today, but unsure what he can do since he's in Vancouver and I'm in NY... It doesn't feel like an emergency, just a big aching pain. I have an appt for next Friday to get the temp crown removed and the final one put on... hopefully the pain will reside before then. Thanks again!

RN, that explains a lot, yank!! temporary crowns are almost often horrid little illfitting bits of tin that are stuck on til the real thing--made exactly to your tooth's shape, allowing for clean edges along the gumline, etc.--is made by the lab. the real thing will be so much better, except that you may still have the soreness caused by the temporary crown. rinse with warm salt water and try not to have to bite down on that side. it could be you are doing it in your sleep, because our teeth try and match up at night. you could be pushing it slightly into your gum and not even be aware of it.
good luck. mouth pain is annoying as hell...
it still hurts everytime i swallow or try to eat and it's been 4 days since i burned my throat. i keep waiting for the runny nose, coughing, congestion, etc., i usually get when i start with a sore throat! oh yeah, this is from an injury, not a virus!
we only got about 2 inches of snow during the night. not sure if more is coming today. i think the big snow was forecast for today, but the weathermen are usually pretty inaccurate in this neck of the woods! we are getting our snowblower on saturday---that is, if we can get out in the snow to go to sears in redding to pick it up! LOL

i did not have my bloody mary yet. but i would like to try vaca's "mary mary" one. is that double the mixer, or double the fun (vodka)? :-)

I still have my sinus infection and am going through lot's of Kleenex here at work. I heard that this "cold" is going around.

Raise your hand if you have a cold as well!

RN, i can't believe it! a phone guy knocked on the door and installed my dsl. yippee! they told us it could be months before a slot opened up. boy, does it seem quick after having to use dial-up for a month :-)
it's also nice to not have to plan when i could tie up my phone line to go online. when i was waiting 2 days for the plumber to call me, i couldn't go on til nighttime, when i knew he wasn't thinking of calling me!

Right now, my tooth hurts too. I DID have a root canal finished last night. The pain is bearable but is a pain in the ...... tooth. You know what I mean.

RN I am having a devil of a time searching for some papers that are important....I just know that I put them in a safe place.

rats

RN I'm upset because I left my camera instruction booklet at my friends house in Seattle. And I am trying to post a picture. Does anybody know if I can use my kodak digital camera and easy share camera dock to post pictures? I can email them, but I cannot post them.

I am accomplishing nothing today....i mean nothing...Think that Bloody Mary sounds just great.

I am not making dinner tonight

Right Now, I think I need to get serious about finding a spot that Riley can be in time out, he's getting too "riled" up when he plays and is nipping at our hands and feet again. Dang, I thought we licked this one.
