Answers:
I could (possibly) be solved by reducing the bite on the crown. Maybe it's hitting too high. An x-ray will show if there is any residual or new infection, and if it didn't show, then you don't need a new root canal. Did they check your bite (they put a piece of what looks like carbon paper between your teeth and ask you to bite up and down on it).? If not, then I would call and ask them to check it. - P.S., if you paid 1200 for a root canal, post and crown, you really got a great deal.Health Question & Answer
