See a dentist : You haven't provided enough information here. The pain maybe from the same tooth and maybe not. If all of her teeth are hurting than there maybe other things involved. You need to go back to your dentist and let them do a complete exam since there maybe multiple issues that we are dealing with here.

Go back to dentist: Have your mom get back to the dentist or root canal specialist and reevaluate that tooth, the other teeth and the bite.

Needs exam: Of course she will have to be evaluated but if multiple teeth all feel sore, it may be caused by sinusitis. Sinusitis is usually viral but may be bacterial in origin or it may be caused by an infected tooth. Encourage her to consult a dentist.
