Pain on biting after a root canal can occur due to reasons like infection around the root, high bite, crack in the tooth, or inflammation of supporting tissues. It is important to examine the tooth clinically and take an X-ray to identify the exact cause before prescribing treatment. Please avoid chewing from that side until evaluation.
Next Steps
Kindly visit the clinic at the earliest for examination and X-ray. Treatment may involve bite adjustment, medication, retreatment, or other necessary procedure depending on findings.
Health Tips
Do not self-medicate with antibiotics. You may take a mild pain reliever if needed and maintain good oral hygiene. Seek urgent care if swelling or severe pain develops.
