Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me.
I got a root canal and crown done 10 years ago. I've recently been getting some pain above the crown. It's not excruciating but I know there is something wrong.
I went to the dentist and she told me that I needed to go to a specialist after viewing the x-ray. I went back to the original dentist who did the root canal and he kept saying that it didn't look like his work but it was! He didn't charge me for the consultation and told me to come back because he wants to see 'if he can get on there and fix it'.
I've had advice to go to a specialist and not to go back to him because he obviously got it wrong in the first place.
Over the last couple of years I've had chronic sinus problems and judging by the x-ray (I'm no expert) I'm wondering if the root canal infection is related?
I have uploaded the x-ray here http://imgur.com/kM2hO1f
It's on the right side and 6 in including the front tooth.
Apologies for the long winded explanation!
Thanks in advance.
