Pain Under Crown Months After Root Canal?

July 22, 2013
Asked By:JessMc13

I had a root canal performed on one of my molars in November of 2012. They covered the tooth with a porcelain crown. 8 months later I am experiencing extreme sensitivity to cold and a constant throbbing. Every couple of days I have a shooting pain that subsides with the help of ibuprofen. Is it possible that my root canal wasn't completed properly of thoroughly? Or are these signs of an infection under the crown?
