I had a retreatment on a tooth in late feb. i have a somewhat painful lump at the injection sight that hasn't gone way. should i be concerned?

See dentist: A painful lump a month of so after a dental procedure may be a local infection/abscess starting in the area. Best for you to call the dentist and get the area looked at asap. Good luck.

Return: Return to the Dentist or specialist that removed the tooth. Painful lump may indicate a small infected area that is not healing. Additional treatment may be indicated.

Yes: What you are experiencing is not normal and requires it be evaluated. It sounds like the problem is more related to the Root Canal retreatment rather than the injection. The infection is probably still present.
