Why does my tooth that I had a root canal on suddenly start hurting?
I got a root canal a couple months ago and everything was fine. It didn’t hurt at all and they told me to take good care of my teeth because that tooth is more brittle or something. Well, I brush my teeth twice a day and floss once a day. But suddenly, as of yesterday, my tooth started hurting every time I bite down on it. If I don’t, there’s just this dull ache. Any idea what happened?
Please Go back to your dentist. Either it was irritated because after your treatment you might happen to accidentally bite something that irritate the tooth or there might still something that was there that needs to be re-open and re-treated.
I urged you to go back to your dentist and talk to him/her if he /she prescribe pain reliever still describe him/her the pain and ask that if there will be a need to re-open and re-treat what possibility this might happen and why. take care.
You should return to your dentist to have it checked. A root canaled tooth should not hurt because the nerves and blood vessels have been removed. Your tooth is more brittle after a root canal, but that just means that it’s more likely to break. That being said, root canaled teeth can crack after treatment. (root canals are never guaranteed to last) Please see you dentist.
