Has anyone had a sensation if stinging after root canal - not really pain, just a kind of zing that almost feels like a sensitivity but not in the tooth, just somewhere around it. The tooth is dead-I can chew on it but get this feeling . My dentist says he doesn't know what stinging means. It drives me crazy.
 
I am not exactly sure if stinging is the right word, but I got a pinching sensation after the root canal on my front tooth. It felt almost like the sensation of when you get a shot. It was not always there. In fact, I still get that pinching sensation occasionally.
