Frequently Asked Questions

I had a root canal done about a week ago on a side lower tooth. Right now i am experiencing constant pain in my upper front gums. What could be causing this?

Most likely unrelated to the root canal. An almost itch-like pain in the gums can often be due to hormonal changes and motrin is often prescribed. Pain and pressure in the gums is usually a sign of infection and should be seen by a dentist.
