If you previously had a root canal treatment and are now experiencing pain or swelling in the area above the tooth, contact us today!
WHAT SYMPTOMS SHOULD I LOOK FOR?
The infection may manifest itself in the form of a pimple near the tooth. If you notice a pimple, or a bad taste or odor in your mouth, your tooth may have become infected again following the root canal treatment.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD?
Stitches will generally be removed between 2 to 7 days after the procedure, and swelling and soreness usually diminish after two weeks.
If you think you may be experiencing symptoms, give us a call at 708-246-2405 so we can help!
