Pain in old root canal
by rebeccamay, Apr 28, 2008 01:12PM
I have been having a pain in an old root canal, mostly caused by heat. I had this root canal done initally two years ago, crowned, then retreated due to pain eight months ago. After the retreat, the tooth hurt horribly. The pain subsided after about two weeks. I have had no problems since then. The molar behind this tooth also had to have a root canal and was eventually pulled eight months ago due to a cracked root.
I am not sure what to do about this tooth pain. Does it mean that this tooth may also have a cracked root? Are there any treatment options other than getting it pulled? Why would it start hurting all of a sudden after eight months of no pain?

Seeing an endodontist is advised.
