A member asked:
I just had a root canal on tooth #27 today. is it possible to feel pain and sensitivity in tooth #26 from the procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Of course: The pain you are describing sounds like what dentists call "referred pain". Your root canaled tooth is very sensitive and the discomfort can be felt in other teeth.
