I had a root canal on my back right tooth, after going back because of pain from biting hard foods, the dentist said my root is grown into my sinus. However, it feels like nerve pain, and very sensitive to cold or hot liquids. Could the pain from the root/sinus cause the pain even though I've had a root canal

This is likely the root. Sounds like the post broke off with the crown attached to it. Make an appointment with a local dentist to see what your best treatment options are.
This is a common occurrence in PFM crowns. The crown could have been designed to be slightly above the gumline, thus allowing you to notice this line of demarcation. Many dental professionals sometimes prefer this design based on the individual patient circumstances.
Hi, thanks for your question, and sorry to hear that you are in pain. Whenever you have teeth prepared for a crown, especially small teeth like 24 and 25, it is entirely possible that you will have post op discomfort. That pain could be coming from the amount of reduction of tooth structure...
