Cracked Tooth: Teeth that have root canals are more brittle. If the tooth is not adequately restored with a crown the remaining tooth structure will be very prone to crack. Visit a dentist to diagnose the problem before the pain worsens.

Had root canal on bottom left last tooth today. Dentist took a X-ray after & said it looked great. Put temp filling in. Im experiencing pain & soreness in my mouth, and especially in my jaw in one spot. Normal? I had multiple injections to get numb.
Is it normal to feel sensitivity when biting down with a temporary dental crown? The tooth has been shaved down by the dentist 4 years after the root canal. The permanent crown broke, resulting in the placement of a temporary crown for the time being?
