Hello, it has been a month after I completed the root canal treatment, i noticed that couple weeks after RCT till now i felt pain in the tooth when i eat hot or cold food, it ain't painful towards pressure, just towards the temperature. I honestly can't think about having a crown on it (currently having the filling after RCT) because i dont know if its the right choice given now when i eat something thats hot or very cold the pain is kinda intense and it lingers for couple seconds before going away..

Anyone with similar cases that can give me any advise?

u should go back to your dentist, however as i know root canal procedure doest not confirm 100% nerve removed due to the tiny fine nerve complexity, go back to your dentist asap

Root canal usually go through 3 or 4 times to ensure everything is cleared. I remember my friend went through 3 times..and the final round the dentist took xray to be sure.

So go bck if its painful as it is not supposed to be.

Dont think its supposed to feel pain , best to consult your dentist .

I just went to the dentist (Yap Dental) earlier this week for a similar procedure. Have sensitive teeth, so was also prescribed use of suitable toothpaste. But the effect faded after the first few days. Certainly seems like you should consult the dentist again for a follow up.

Only your dentist can give you an exact solution of your problem

normally only the first few days of root

Completed the RCT means the dentist had already filled the entire root space and restored the crown with a permanent kind of filling right? Did your dentist mention that?

We won't be able to give you any concrete solution to your problem unless we have the detailed examination of your oral condition. That pain can be due to so many kinds of reason and sometimes even due to tooth/teeth beside it that's carious or having gum problems. It's best to check back with your dentist on this issue.

thanks for the reply guys
actually my rct is considered complete, went through 3 sessions (alot of xrays) and the dentist said what's next would be getting a crown and yes, the dentist said all the roots inside the teeth has been cleared. strangely the teeth remained sensitive though only towards hot and cold food and drinks.

i also went for tooth fillings with one of the teeth being beside the teeth that had rct, but the pain felt when i eat hot or cold drinks is the exact same spot which is the rct'ed teeth, not the filled teeth next to it.

would y'all reckon i go get a desensitizer tooth paste and see if it get better? Man i hope the filling on the rct'ed teeth will last, been avoiding chewing of hard foods on that teeth so far.

Ah yes before i forgot, there's this weird taste in my mouth everytime i ate or drank hot or cold food, the taste came along with the pain. Anyone had that before?
