Pain with biting down after root canals

[LauraQ68]

Is it normal for root canaled teeth to be sensitive to biting down one week after RCTs? I have temp fillings and am waiting for crowns. Just worried about failed root canals!

I pretty much avoided biting down/chewing on my root canal until I had the temp crown on, and even then I was very careful. I was very paranoid about pain or breaking something. That being said, no pain chewing on the temp or permanent crown.

Yea, I’m really trying to be careful until I get the crowns on. Thanks for sharing your experience!
