I'm going to a dental college to get my dental work done and had to have a root canal on my front right top tooth
It took 3 sessions the last session packing the canals and sealing them with one more coming up to put a permanent filling on top
My last appointment was almost 4 weeks ago and I'm still feeling a cold almost electric feeling on the tooth when there's pressure on it.
The dental dam significantly pulled the tooth out of place due to my mouth being over crowded and the problem tooth being partially behind another tooth so I don't know if that could have caused this lasting discomfort?
 
I wanted to make a follow-up about what was going on
I was still in alot of pain when i went in for the final filling so they took more X-rays and discovered that my root was shaped funky.
So when looking straight on it looked like all the pulp was gotten but from the side you could see alot was missed.
They doubled the size of the canal they drilled and im now completely out of pain and getting the permanent filling next month.
