It could be that there is an infection in the adjacent tooth, or it may be because the gutta percha has gone beyond the apex of the tooth. In any case, we can't be sure without taking a radiograph of the tooth
Next Steps
Consult your dentist
Health Tips
Get an IOPA radiograph taken, as it is the only way to know for sure the cause behind this problem.
