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.
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.
yes it can
The root of a tooth that has a bridge over it may in fact hurt. This can be caused by the bridge pushing into the gums, causing swelling and sometimes pain.
my friend had a root canal and it started hurting so he went to the dentist and his mouth was sore for 16 hours
Could be a sinus infection, you sometimes get a sinus infection after having some dental fixes like a crown or root canal even if you never had sinus trouble before
First, your gums are painfully injected with a near-poisonous fluid. It numbs the teeth. They are then extracted through the root canal where they had laid

Some words with the root sinus include sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), sinusoid (having a sinus-like curve), and sinusoidal (relating to a sinus).
Go back to the dentist and ask him to check for infection in the gums. I had the same problem, had to get the root canal redone and finally led to the extraction of the tooth, cause the stupid dentist couldn't figure out that he had infected my gums..
Seems that infection from the root canal of the teeth have passed to your maxillary sinus near your facial nerve branches. Better consult your physician.
More than likely, the gums are either irritated by the temporary crown or they are inflamed due to inadequate oral hygiene. Ask your dentist for a prescription of Chlorhexedine Gluconate .12% (trade names are Peridex or Periogard). Rinse and brush with it daily until your permanent crown is placed.
