The tooth will continue to hurt for a couple reasons, either the nerve in the tooth has been tampered with or it is just still sore.

It should take approximately two to three weeks for a root canal to heal. If your tooth still hurts you should set up an appointment to see your dentist.

How can you tell if a tooth has gone bad under a crown that has a root canal?
If a tooth has a root canal filling you will not be able to know because the main factors of a tooth that has gone bad is sensitive to hot and cold or tender when putting any pressure on the tooth but if it has a root canal it is slightly different because the nerve is removed so you cant feel it. The tooth if it has a root canal will always go dark as the tooth is dead but this does not mean it is bad. The main sign of a bad tooth that has had root canal is an abscess under the tooth so if you feel pain when lying down that is keeping you awake at night or when leaning forward it really hurts then you have an abscess and that tooth will most probably have to be re-root canalled by a specialist or extracted! :)
What if you hada root canal butt you still have a lot of pain?
what could have happened is that the root canal was not done properly, or the tooth was so damaged that the root canal did not work. In this event, the tooth may have to be pulled (its what happened to me about a week ago)
Will teeth which have undergone root canal treatment still have chance to feel pain after months?
If a root canal has been done properly, the tooth itself will never feel pain again. The root canal process removes all nerve tissue from the inside of the tooth. However, there will still be nerves surrounding the tooth located in the periodontal ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. These nerves feel pressure, and help you 'feel' your teeth when you bite down. After a root canal is done, you can still 'feel' pressure-type pain from these outside nerves if you bite on something too hard or break your tooth.
Why its called toothache not teethache?
because it hurts in the tooth. most of the time only one tooth hurts. if more than 1 tooth hurts, its called multiple toothaches. if your whole mouth hurts, consult a dentist.
What can you do if you have a tooth ake and its the tooth that had a root canal?
If you have had a root canal and the tooth that was removed still hurts, it is probably because the entire root wasn't removed or the drilling was not packed tightly enough. If that happens, another root canal must be performed and the tooth re-packed to prevent infection. A tooth infection left uncared for is potentially life-threatening if the infection spreads and should not be taken lightly. Another possibility to look into is displaced pain. Sometimes the body gets confused and pain from an infection or problem in one area can be felt in another part of the body.
Does a root canal increase the chances of losing a tooth?
No . . . the root canal procedure is intended to save the tooth.
What happens if you burn a tooth?
it hurts
Tooth is sore 2 months after root canal and crown?
A tooth can be mildly sore two months after root canal therapy, because of the stress that the tooth has undergone. If the pain is more severe, it would be good to check it with a dentist, because the crown might need more adjustments, or there might be still some infection remained from the root canal.
