Root Canals Ask The Dentist Jeffrey Hoos

Question:
I had a root canal done 5 days ago. The pain after the root canal operation lasted only 24 hours. However, I feel a sharp pain when I try to bite on that tooth. Is this normal?

Answer:
I think that there is an important question - does the tooth now have a crown on the tooth? Your tooth is flexing or even splitting and that is why you are having pain. Go to your dentist, ASAP because if you do not, the tooth will split and you will loose the tooth.
