Tooth restorative filling must have been done after root canal treatment.
If it's done, manier cases need crown for further strengthening and supporting the restoration.
If both of the above requirements fulfilled, u need to consult your dentist as there can be ill fitting crown or caries in adjust tooth.

After the root canal treatment the teeth is to be covered by crown or a proper filling. If that is not present then you will have a problem of food lodgement as well as fracture of the treated tooth. Please do the needful and don’t use tooth puck to clean inbetween the teeth as it may injure the gums and cause pain. Gargle with water after every meal and use floss to clean
