Why is my molar still hurting after three root canal appointments, even though my dentist says the X-ray shows no infection and I am taking Brufen and Amoxyclav?
It is actually quite common for a molar to remain sore even when X-rays look clear and you are taking Amoxyclav and Brufen. Often, the tissue surrounding the tooth's root becomes deeply inflamed from the dental work itself, which takes time to heal. There could also be microscopic accessory canals that are difficult to see on standard X-rays. Please continue communicating with your dentist; they may suggest a temporary bite adjustment to relieve pressure on the tooth while it heals.
