Pain source in rct tooth
I have to get a crown for my front tooth- I had RCT done on both twice- even now, the Dentist opened the teeth to check if any cleaning required- all good
But the problem is that on second appointment one of the tooth started paining bad- I have got the medicines, and that is keeping the pain down-
I don't understand when all the nerve has been removed and the doctor, she cannot see any infection while she is using the files - then what exactly is causing the pain? Where is it hidden?

Hey hi,yes if u can share the x rays it will be gud.
Next Steps
Since the medications are keeping it under control, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Tell them to keep their dentist updated, and the pain will fully vanish once the final cleaning and filling are complete.

Hi.
Even after a root canal, pain can still happen because the tissues and ligament around the tooth are still alive and contain nerve endings. Re cleaning or medicines can temporarily irritate these areas, causing pain even when the nerve inside the tooth has been removed.
It is likely temporary post treatment inflammation which should settle gradually.
Next Steps
Give it some time, mostly a week. Then you should be good to go with crowns.
Health Tips
The dentist you are getting the treatment done with is best to take a call when crowns are to be given.
