Tooth pain even after root canal
Hi, my molar tooth keeps paining even after doing root canal. After root canal cap was fixed but do to pain started I went to here asked to remove it. There is hole in teeth and now after 4 month it again started paining.
If root canal is done then why it is paining is that the case whether it is not done properly...

Ideally root canal treated teeth will last a life time and function like normal teeth. High chance that Root canal or the Cap was not properly done.
Next Steps
Do check it up with a root canal specialist called ‘Endodontist’
Health Tips
Get it corrected by a procedure called Repeat Root Canal Therapy by a Endodontist who uses a Microscope. Repeat root canals are best done under a Dental Microscope.

May be failed RCT , may be adjacent tooth , may be high points , reinfected tooth or simple case of incomplete cleaning of tooth in the first place
I strongly recommend u to visit a root canal specialist (an Endodontist) , if u intend to save tooth and use it painlessly..

Considering it is a failed or misdiagnosed case ...

Some times due to high points present in occlusal portion of cap also it may cause pain.
Get it checked with your dentist.
