Best is to call your dentist and let him know what is going on since she/he knows your problem. Hope you feel better

Could be a high spot on temp. that is in it causing pressure on gums. Upper tooth or lower tooth is hitting temp. at an angle causing discomfort. Tooth has no live nerve in it from root canal, so it is pressure from gums. See your dentist for an adjustment.
