Had root canal, tooth still hurts?

Go back to the dentist and get it redone. A tooth shouldn't hurt after a root canal. It sounds like your dentist botched the procedure by leaving some of the infected material still inside the tooth. It's not going to go away by itself and if left untreated, the infection could spread. In my opinion, you should see another dentist to get it done since your first dentist didn't do it properly in the first place and could botch it again.

You should have it checked. My mom got a root canal a month ago and is scheduling a follow up. The site doesn't totally heal for a few months.

You need to go back to the dentist. A month is long enough for it to settle down. Sometimes the dentist cannot go deep enough to kill the root. Then he can send you to a specialist who can finish it. Not all dentists know this. I've had teeth pulled when a specialist could have saved them by drilling deeper.

Yes, go back to the dentist. Have them check the bite and surrounding teeth.

Keep after it until they figure out why. You should not be experiencing pain.

wow me too! i had one abt a month ago and he didn't put the full filling in, just a temp. filling. my tooth still hurts sometimes if i i bite and my other teeth touch it. it might be the surrounding nerves...idk???

give it a day or two and then go to the dentist. That way you won't lose money if it was normal!

it will be tender for awhile but if you just wait it will eventually go away it could take awhile i had one and it worked sooner then that. so i would just wait and be cool it will go away and then you can be ok.
