I had a lower canine tooth root canalled just about 3 years ago. Ever since, every few months I get zaps of electric pain(slight sharp stab) which in my opinion appear to be coming from the tooth or gum but basically something in that general area where the RCT tooth is. The tooth is not crowned but was restored with a composite filling at the direction of the endodontist. At times, I also feel that the tooth is a little sore to the touch. But neither the tenderness or the zaps are extreme and often go away for periods of time. The general area has been checked and the root canal seems fine and nothing remarkable in the surrounding area. Just wondering if people experience a finicky root canal tooth that acts up every now and again. Not sure what the options are. Nowhere near wanting to get the tooth extracted and I’m not sure if a retreatment is even needed. Wondering if it’s a neuralgia or atypical Odontalgia? Anyone experience something similar. Thanks
