I had a very deep hole in my upper left tooth, #2 from the back, not counting wisdom tooth.
The regular dentist said I need to get a root canal from a specialist, which I've done so today.
Once he was finished, he told me; no infections, need to go get a corona from the regular dentist, do not chew anything for 1/2 hours. After over 3 hours I decided to try and eat something, and I tried to chew with my right side only. Soon enough, I accidentally chewed down with the tooth I had the root canal on, and man, did it hurt like nobody's business.
I know it's barely been half a day since the root canal, but is this normal?
I feel some pain from even the pressure of clunching my teeth.
My mother tells me the dentist may have accidentally left a root in, which wouldn't surprise me because he was busy singing and talking to his colleague the entire time.
My crown is going to be done on Thursday, but I definitely don't want to do it without making sure everything's going as it should, first.
Anyway, thanks for any future comments and insights!
