Toothache after rct done a year ago.
I had my rct done a year ago with filling done.
All goes fine..Until a bit of extra pressure on the rct tooth occurs while chewing hard substances.
The pain becomes unbearable after that.
What should I do?

You need to get it checked to rule out a cracked tooth. RCT teeth should be capped as without a cap they can fracture under pressure.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist who will X-ray the tooth if required and guide you accordingly.

Please visit a dentist so that an x-ray of the tooth can be taken to ascertain the present condition. The next plan of action can be explained after that only. The treatment option can vary from cleaning of the gums to even root canal treatment being repeated.
