Hi, A dental crown or cap is a must after doing RCT, If you have cap and still food gets deposit then you need a new one. If not then your must have a crown or cap. Also taking Pain killers for couple of days along with proper cap will definitely solve this issue.
Thanks and regards

I think you require a new crown of good fitting.ask your doctor to change it and give a good fitting crown.for time being you can take painkiller if it's unbearable.to clean that area either you can use floss or interdental aid.on use mouthwash as well do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.dont bend on hard for cleaning that might end up hurting your gums.just visit your doctor again
