Below from a Forums, but i am facing the same, can any Dentist help me to get rid of this problem.



I'm hoping this is the key! I had root canal redone & crowned 18 months ago, shortly after (a few weeks) my tongue swelled up (and I had two days of fever)... dentist said all the x-rays looked fine and it wasn't my tooth.

As the tongue swelling when on for months & months I realized I was getting re-flux while I slept (mind you I'm young, thin, eat well, don't smoke, don't drink caffeine or soda, etc). I went on a few clean eating programs for sometimes up to 90 days and it would subside... so it got me thinking to the tooth again. What if it was infected and when I ate really clean it was helping my body fight off the infection?

I finally got fed up as the reflux got worse and worse as I went back to normal eating (still pretty clean, 80/20) and saw a new dentist to remove my root canal-ed tooth, I just wanted it gone. An oral surgeon had to remove it as it was a complex removal and probably touching my sinus cavity. Sure enough, ABSCESSED! The removal and tissue damage also left a hole in my sinus cavity that was patched up with collagen during surgery.

I'm less than a week post op and still getting the reflux, however it was gone the first two days after, I'm thinking when my body was happy it was gone. I'm hoping all the healing inflammation is what's still causing the reflux and as the socket heals, the reflux will subside.
