A member asked:
What is causing touch sensitivity to tooth 2 months after root canal treatment?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many things: Failed root canal therapy, a canal not filled completely or at all, a tooth or root fracture, an unresolved infection, an occlusal problem, or even another tooth. See your dentist to figure out what is going on. Sometimes a 3d cone beam image (cbct) can be helpful in finding the cause of this when a clinical exam and 2d x-ray image is negative.

Root canal hurts: The first thing your dentist needs to check is the bite. If the bite is off you will be sensitive to hot and cold and maybe have a dull ache or inflammation and bleeding around the gums. You be clenching or grinding at night that can make it worse. It also can be the roots are not perfectly clean (which can sometimes be difficult). Have your dentist take an x-ray to see if there is an abscess.
