Can you tell me about dental pain years after root canal ?

No pain: Root canal takes away the nerve sensation toward a tooth. Once the nerve die, it will never come back. However, if the tooth is not treated to remove the cause of root canal, i.e. Bad occlusion, the tooth will fracture or fail due to poor occlusion. Fabricating a proper crown will correct your occlusion. Check with your dentist.

Root canal: If you are having pain in a tooth that had a root canal, there may be several possible causes: 1. Re-infection 2. Fractured tooth 3. A traumatic bite 4. A gum infection around the tooth see your dentist or an endodontist to examine and evaluate the problem.

Possible abscess: Please see a dentist to determine if the root canal treatment is failing, if the tooth is cracked, or if there is an accessory canal.
