Route Canal after pain?
Two days ago, I went to my endodentist to get the very back left molar a root canal. After the numbness wore off, pain was very minor. A little bit of swelling around the tooth, but nothing too horrendous. But when I woke up this morning, I felt like ripping off the side of my face! I tried taking Tylenol but nothing's working! I can't eat/ open my jaw or else it'll be too sore. The swelling hasn't gotten any better either. It looks like a freaking little pink balloon!! I can't even fully bite down my teeth or else I'd be in a pain at the verge of tears. LITERALLY, like for some goddamn stupid reason I actually fully bit down and I actually started crying a little!
Is this normal? If so, how long will it last?
Besides taking Tylenol and other pain killers, what's a good way to relieve the pain?
PLEEEAAASSSEEEE HELP ME. I JUST WANNA YANK OUT THE TOOTH RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK.

Call the Dentist as soon as possible...it sounds like there may be a tiny air pocket in there...when they pack it down, all air needs to be expelled.
I don't know of anything short of the Dentist releasing that air (if that's it) that will make it feel too much better. Maybe a gargle with warm salt water. If you have some Orajel that may tone it down a bit.
I don't think you should hurt at all....maybe a little sore.
I KNOW it hurts, so I hope you can get in to see your Dentist ASAP!
