One tooth is crowned and they shaved part of the crown down. It has been about 2 weeks and that tooth is feeling much better but my jaw seems to be getting worse, especially after eating. It aches.

Hello, my name is Miles.
Without knowing which tooth had the root canal (i.e., was it an incisor or a molar?), and without an x-ray and ideally an intraoral photograph of the tooth, this question is impossible to answer. However, there are some general guidelines that I believe apply....
Hi:It is sometime difficult to exactly spot the origin of the pain. Tirgeminal neuralgia, missed canal, infection, clenching or grinding can be some of the possible causes. I suggest to take a Cat Scan of the area to check the root canal tooth more accurately.Best,Dr. Maddahi
