    One of my friend told me that cold test is necessary to evaluate for RCT. Also, gum probing. I am collecting information from all the known sources to know about RCT and it's diagnosis, treatment.

    I had a visit to an Endodontist today for a second opinion. I couldn't trust the dentist and go for extraction and implant.
    The Endo office took some x-rays and the Endo did check my tooth. She didn't take or told me to take cbct scan. She said fracture or crack might not be visible in the scan or x-ray.

    She did bite test and I felt very minute tenderness on one spot. She did cold test.
    I am a person who doesn't eat any cold good items since I have some issues. I was throbbing so hard when I had that cold spray thing. On that particular tooth, it was sore for 10 seconds after throbbing. So she said I have more sensitivity and might be a minor crack and told me to get a crown from my dentist.

    Then I asked her a couple of questions. Who do I have swelling in the far for a month. She said it will not cause swelling and she is not sure about it.
    I asked why I have throbbing pain at night while lying down. She asked for how long and told me that she want to test one more time to check if I been RCT.
    This time, she put more cold spray thing and I was throbbing up. She apologized that she did spray a little more than usual. I felt sore for 10 to 15 seconds. She said that I can go for RCT since I have throbbing pain at night. But I have throbbing pain on the whole jaw area but not on that tooth only. She is not concerned about it. I have to see what could be done next. She said I can do crown or RCT.

    I feel so sore in that tooth after my appointment bcos of that cold spray. Never had those before. It's been years since I put something cold in my mouth. Not even cold water. So it's very sore for more than 8 hours.

    Have anyone of you feel like this sore after the cold spray test? ( Don't know that the test called as)

    And does that cold spray harm the healthy nerves or root if done many times? Or is it normal? Do you feel sore for so long afterwards?

    Hi @MalStrom,
    How are you doing? How's your toothache?
    Did you go to the dentist to confirm if you have crack?

    @Angela123 , when can we have core buildup and crown after root canal?
    I still have the same pain in the jaw and neck. My dentist told me to try RCT for the lower molar and I did it a couple of days back. Endo told me to go back to dentist for the crown. I never had RCT before. How long should I wait to get the crown after RCT?

    I still have the same jaw pain and neck pain after rct. The pain on that tooth is not present now, but the jaw pain still persist. So, it might be TMJ issue then. Dentist was guessing both tmj and the tooth crack issue. He said we have to rule out one by one to get the root cause.

    @MalStrom ,
    When can we get the core buildup and crown after RCT?
    I have the same jaw pain and it radiates to the neck since last month. My dentist said it could be TMJ issue or the lower molar crack. So he told me to try RCT first. I did rct 2 days back. My bad. I have the same jaw and neck pain after the RCT. I am trying various things and no proper diagnosis yet.
    Extracted wisdom tooth first. Now rct. Nothing helps.

    Endo said to get the core filling and crown from the dentist. How soon do we need to get it done? I never had RCT before. How many days or weeks should we wait before we get a crown?[/QUOTE]

    It was a long time ago but I think I went back quite soon to get the permanent crown. They gave me a temporary crown in the meantime.
