Case Description
Had root canal done a few mos ago - the only pain I had after the root canal was when my dentist was putting in the top of the filling on top of the root canal filling right before he put the crown on. Following that everything was fine until a few days ago when I began with the same nagging pain in that same tooth which had the root canal. What should I do and more importantly WHAT could it be caused by ??????

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I suggest you go back to the dentist who performed the root canal treatment and placed the crown for evaluation. The pain can be caused by several factors - an accessory canal that was not filled, a small root fracture or referred pain from another tooth.
