I had root canal treatment week ago(central upper incisor) . To be precise, a tooth is cleaned, and some medicine is put in it, then sealed with temporary filling.
One day after procedure i felt pressure, around nose and almost all upper lip.
And now i notice that i have like a abscess above that tooth. I don't understand, my tooth is opened,cleaned, medicine is in it, and still this problem??? What happened?

Sometimes the area can become irritated after instrumentation. Did the dentist prescribe any antibiotics? The tooth will most likely settle down over the next few days.
