Call your dentist: Make sure to advise your dentist if you are experiencing pain, swelling, bleeding or other problems following a root canal or crown restoration. I would recommend you call your dentist.

Re-evaluation: Have your dentist re-evaluate that tooth for a residual infection, excess cement, proper fit, and correct bite.
