After root canal pain
My husband has done a root canal process on his teeth. But after 3 months his root canal place is hurting now, only when he pressed his teeth. Is this any serious issue ?

Hello mam
Tooth is probably paining because of over filling
Visit your dentist and get that correction done
If still pain is there then dentist must take radiograph and check the rc treated tooth
Yes it is a serious issue because if the problem is of over restoration then his teeth may get fracture if he eats something hard. So get the correction done.

Hiii mam,
I would recommend you to get the X-ray done for the tooth, because there can be two reasons either your tooth is touching the opposite tooth or there is an reinfection, in first case we normally reduce the height of the tooth in second case we have to do the re treatment. So X-ray can help us decide the treatment. Sometimes neither of it’s true, just a 3 days course of antibiotics can help with the pain. Also you did not mention about the cap on the tooth after the treatment, if it’s not done this is the primary cause of the pain.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist as soon as possible

Hi,
I suggest you visit the dentist and get an x-ray taken for the tooth that is paining. Check the height of the treated tooth and reduce if required and also check the teeth adjacent to the treated tooth for any tooth decay or infection.
