What causes pain in a root canal-treated tooth?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have a few questions. Please answer them for a better understanding.

1. Is the root canal procedure complete, or is it still ongoing?

2. Has the cap or crown on the RCT (root canal treatment) treated tooth been placed or not?

   Sometimes, root canal tooth pains when it is still going on, but if the procedure has already been completed, then there is no chance for it to hurt, and if it is still hurting, then maybe that is not a successful root canal or infection is so much so that the tooth will have to be extracted for good. For now, take the antibiotics and painkillers that your dentist might have prescribed you and rinse your mouth four to five times back to back with warm saline water. Have a dentist appointment again and discuss your problem. An X-ray would probably be taken, and that will help to know the actual problem. Kindly send a picture of the X-ray here for more details and information.

   I hope this helps.

   Revert in case of queries.

   Kind regards.
