Hi. The reason for your pain post root canal treatment can be many. Sometimes it's normal to have a bit of pain n discomfort few days post Rct.... N resolves on its own but you have to be very prompt with the medication prescribed.
Secondly, there can also be high point on the treated tooth which would cause pain while biting. That can be corrected by the dentist immediately by trimming off the high point.
Third reason can be persistence of pus or remnant of infected pulp tissue inside the tooth due to improper root canal treatment.. That can be clarified with the help of x ray.
Next Steps
visit your dentist... they should take the necessary steps to solve your problem and reconfirm if the treatment done is all good with the help of x ray
Health Tips
always keep your X-ray and treatment records safe for future reference.
