If there is pain in your root canal something must be wrong.
Usually a completed root canal treatment should be pain-free.
Go back to your Dentist.
Or Find a new one.
There may be an abscess forming around the tooth in the gums.
Or they may not have properly removed the tissue inside the tooth.

ANSWER Apply an ice pack or a bag of frozen veggies to the outside of your mouth, directly over the root canal sight. Hold the ice pack in place for five minutes, repeating every 15 to 20 minutes for the first several hours after surgery. Elevate your pillow or the head of your bed before you go to sleep. This helps to control bleeding and prevent painful throbbing. Avoid chewing on the post-surgical side of your mouth. If you use the affected tooth to chew, it's likely that you'll experience added swelling and severe pain radiating from the site.
Follow up with your dentist or endodontist if you experience intense pain, severe swelling, or pain that lasts more than 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner may need to prescribe antibiotics for a secondary infection or narcotics for other painful complications.

Why does it hurt when i oprn my mouth yo eat 5 days after root canal - no pain right after root canal - the pain is on the same side i had the root canal but it doesnt hurt near the tooth?
Many times when the canal was deep and infected the dentist will use special files to widen the canal. This is essentially removing tissue from the tooth. this can cause the gums to be sore. Now if the root was not all removed you would feel pain in the exact tooth. thanks for reading.. Http://www.BrowardDDS.com is my Dental website.

They do perform root canals for nine hundred dollars. He also gives you a choice of removing the tooth. To remove the tooth is about one hundred. They both hurt, but the root canal saves your tooth and takes much longer to perform.

Should your gums and tooth still hurt 3 weeks after a root canal?
No. There something else going on. It may still be infected or possibly the occlusion needs to be adjusted. Return to the dentist who performed the root canal and let them diagnose the problem.
Why does your tooth hurt that you had a root canal done on about 3 years ago?
Generally its not the same tooth that may be hurting, if the root canal was performed properly. You should go see a dentist to rule out other dental issues you might be having. Once the root is removed it is a dead tooth, no longer susceptible to sensation. A "root canal" procedure does not include the removal of a root(s), only the "killing" of the nerve down the center of the roots.
