Root canal 4 years ago

Hi, I had a root canal on my left lateral incisor and ever since then no pain but the teeth feels odd, like something is stuck between it. My dentist says x rays are clear. No idea why. It bothers me a lot.

Does floss go through cleanly without catching?

@Gordon I actually started flossing and it bled badly yesterday haha. It goes through from the sides but at the begging it struggles. But underneath the gums it goes nicely. Why did you ask about flossing? Something relating to that or? Thanks

Well, if you feel like there's something stuck there, then my first instinct would be to floss it and see if anything comes out!
It's possible that there's a bit of excess filling material there which is causing the problem, it can be hard (from the dentist POV) to see it, since it's a close colour match to the tooth, so the easiest way to detect it would be if it makes it hard to get floss in...
