Ok, I had my root canal on Wed which went GREAT! Better that i can even have hoped for. It took a while because of "skinny roots". That tooth feels fine it is the tooth on top. I know that there was a problem with the rc tooth - all inflamed and such. I metioned that the top tooth bothers me too but I am not sure if they x-rayed it.

It is another dull pain, but when i press on it - no jolt of pain. Maybe just the bite of the crown still? I dont know. Should I call the specialist and see if the did xray the top?

Please help.
 
Do you have a follow up appt scheduled? Perhaps you could wait and see if things settle by then. It could be that the bite is off due to the rct treated tooth, which is causing pressure on the top tooth. However if you are really concerned about it, and do not have a follow up visit in the near future, you could call and ask about the tooth. I am sure that the dentist probably checked it out, due to the problem you were having with it and will be able to address your concerns.

You could also ask our dentists this question under the dentistry questions answered section. I would be happy to move the post there if you want...just let me know.
