pain in tooth that had a root canal then cracked the crown on it

pain in tooth that had a root canal then cracked the crown on it

why do I have pretty bad pain after a root canal in a crowned tooth. I have a large crack in the crown that happened 1 day ago. I have had a lot of work done on this tooth because the endodontist had a hard time finding the root in a severely calcified front tooth. Why would there be pain since the tooth had a root canal ?

Hi,
You mention a large crack in the crown.  It's possible the root of your tooth cracked when the crown broke.  

I don't think there is much you can do for the tooth if that's the case.  You may want to consult your dentist and look into an implant if the tooth is, in fact, broken.

Good luck and let us know what you find out and how you are.
Best to you,
Gellia
