The area started hurting again so I went in and my dentist did an x-ray and decided I needed a re-treatment. He did it right then and gave me both Vicoden and penicillin. I was fine for a bit, but maybe that was just the Vicodin. Then the pain came back with vengeance. I called him and he said some people just take longer than others to heal and to give it another couple of weeks.  I&#8217;m in so much pain I can barely breathe half the time. What do you recommend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Stacy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"285\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/emergency_patient.png\" alt=\"Woman grabbing her jaw in pain\" class=\"wp-image-683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/emergency_patient.png 285w, https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/emergency_patient-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m concerned about how your dentist is handling this infection. I can&#8217;t tell for sure if you got better and then worse or just got steadily worse to where the Vicodin was no longer working for you. Either way, it is a bad sign and he is putting you in danger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most root canal re-treatments are only successful 1\/2 to 3\/4 of the time.  I realy think you need to see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/root-canal-treatment-phoenix.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">root canal specialist <\/a>at this point.  He&#8217;s not taking this seriously. At the very least, he should have switched you to a stronger antibiotic when you were not better after a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you call a specialist, let them know what is going on so they can get you in for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emergency dental appointment<\/a>. If they can&#8217;t get you in right away, they should at the very least prescribe a stronger prescription for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry this is happening to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phoenix Dentist<\/a> Dr. Hillary Peck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a root canal treatment several years ago.
