See dds: If you close your teeth together and it hurts , a simple procedure will relieve your pain. If its a recent root canal , give it some time to quiet down, old root canal see your dds.

See your dentist: The cause of the pain could be from the same tooth that had the root canal, another tooth, or something else.
