Biting Pain After Root Canal?

Hi godzilla66...I am truly sorry what has happened to you. Many fractures are not seen in an x ray and are difficult to see with the naked eye. If the crack affects on or more cusp of the tooth, a crown works. If the crack affects the pulp, a root canal will usually take care of it. In some cases, and it looks like you may be one of them, the tooth may need to be extracted. Cracks extend into the root of the tooth under the bone and there is no way to fix the tooth. If the dentist decides on extraction, a bridge or implant is what you will be looking at. Your dentist should have informed you of the prognosis a fractured tooth before a root canal was done. Sometimes this does not work but you should have been informed of your options at the beginning of treatment.  Again I am so, so sorry!

Hi, it's possible that it is just post operative discomfort after root canal. However, it may be a crack that occurred initially that ultimately has widened. Unfortunately, in this circumstance, you may need the tooth extracted and consideration to replacement if required
