Hi
I had a root canal 5 months ago on a lower molar that was crowned. The crown was removed and the root canal performed and left to settle. I was in incredible pain after the procedure as well for many weeks. Well it hasn't settled in 5 months and the tooth is tender to any pressure. There is a constant ache which ranges from dull to moderate and the dentist had no idea why so referrred me to the dental hospital. At the hospital they said the tooth looks okay and couldn't offer any help other than give me amitriptyline and he said it will fade in time.
I can not understand why this tooth still feels sore and it most certainly is. I have read about inflammation or injury to ligaments or even bone trauma. I have also read that in some people RCs can take a very long time to heal.
Any advice please.
