Root canal pain: Sometimes there is not complete healing following a root canal. See the dentist who did the root canal or an endodontist(root canal specialist) to see if the tooth needs to be retreated. Sometimes an apicoectomy is indicated, which cleans out the area at the tip of the root.

Many reasons: The best way to know is to get an exam and x-ray. A dentist have to evaluate the tooth. there are many reasons why such as bite is high, filling is gone, infection, root fracture among many others. going to the dentist is the best option to know why. if you have an x-ray. you can send it for second opinion. http://my.setmore.com/bookingpage/72b8c781-a64f-45c9-9314-934abdd25118

Not uncommon: Pain and discomfort is common after a root canal or other dental surgeries up to 7 days. If symptoms continue for more than 7 days or gets progressively worse, contact your dentist for evaluation.
