Experiencing pain in crown after RCT
I had done RCT three days back and due to an emergency got the cap/crown placed today itself. However I’m experiencing pain when touching the crown or putting a little pressure on the particular tooth. Is it normal? Is it because the RCT-tooth is still tender. When will it be fine? What to do?

Pain could b due to occlusal imbalance so when u bite something u get pain, so probably crown correction will relieve ur pain or it could b due to recent RCT/ improper RCT. So better to visit ur dentist asap.
Sometimes RCT treated teeth may take7-10 days to b completely symptom free.
Next Steps
first subside ur discomfort by medicines and visit nearby dentist for finding the actual cause of ur pain.
x-ray if require/ removal of crown if needed
