Can Root Canal Cause Cysts And Infection?

I have a dental question! My root candled tooth still hurts a year later and has recently developed a reoccurring cyst on my gum. It indicates infection to me and I smile wondering how to clear the infection? I am concerned with the infection becoming systemic!

Thanks for using Health care magic.

Read your query.

Pain in the root canal tooth as you have mentioned can occur if there is reinfection in the tooth.This can be due to improper treatment also .

I would advice you to visit your local dentist as soon as possible and get a radiograph done and redo the root canal treatment and the complete procedure.

Do warm saline gargling.

Thanks and warm regards.
