Pain after RCT

2018-10-14 03:55:32
One of my molar had gone through RCT 1 year back because of nerve exposure. Now, suddenly I started feeling pain and sensations in my jawline, ears and headache as well. What could be the reason for this? Should I see a dentist?

Yes you must consult a dentist and get an X-ray done. It could be infection coming from an adjacent tooth or reinfection or fracture of the RCT treated tooth
