First let me say that I have had to have major dental work done in the past
month. I went to mexico to have the work done. I had 8 root canals done in
one day and then the next 3 visits 14 crowns. My 2 bottom right molars were
broken to the gum line although they did not hurt. I was told that I would
need to have them pulled orginally. Well after getting the 14 crowns I
decided to let my mouth rest a bit, into the 2nd week one of those teeth
started hurting when I would drink anything, so off to mexico I was again.
They told me this time the teeth did not need to be removed but could do root
canals and crowns. So that is what I had done. After the root canals and
posts were put in no temp crown was added they said I did not need it. this
was on Wed. I was having some pain that day and the next and still could not
drink anything without a straw. I thought this was normal and I was on
antibodics. Now Friday they put the 2 crowns on and the back one was fine the
one right before hurt when they put on the crown and the pain has increased
so much since then. It is constant and no amount of pain killers is doing the
trick. I returned today Sunday because of it and they looked at it filed the
tooth down some gave me an anti inflamatory some different pain meds and told
me that should work. Well its still Sunday I am in massive pain the pain is
causing my eye to twitch at times and I have a constant headache and I can
feel a lump in my throat right under the jaw line now. I am on antiboditics
also. Is this normal or should I worry? I think I better go see a US dentist
tomorrow but am afraid of the cost, it took me over a year to save up money
to have this work done in mexico.

Obviously this severe pain is not normal. Your experience points out
the downside of "dental tourism"--what to do when something goes wrong.
I cannot say what the appropriate treatment is now without examining
you, but obviously you must look into this. I wish you the best...

Is this for real? 8 RCTs and 14 crowns in a matter of days strike me
with suspicion.
