Did root canal on molar and it's still in pain after 8 weeks - help?

See endodontist: Bone may still have an infection, or tooth may be fractured... Can't tell without an exam and a radiograph. Feel better soon...

Is it finished?: We need to determine the source of the pain. It is possible that the pain is coming from the nerve where accessory or additional canals may have been hard to locate an clean. It is also possible this is coming from the ligament where a crack or high filling or crown maybe irritating the tooth. Post op pain can last this long, but it is rare. Have the dentist reevaluate the tooth.

Re-evaluate tooth: It could be from many things, including but not limited to a failed rct, bite problem, fractured tooth, gum problem, adjacent tooth, recurrent infection, etc. You should return to your dentist and have the tooth re-evaluated and treated accordingly.

Call your dentist: Endodontic pain goes away once the nerve and/infection is resolved. You need to find out why your pain has not gone away immediately.
