I have had many root canals, and have had mild pain that was gone in a few days with all. I just recently had a root canal done, and since have gone back once because of the severe pain. The dentist thought he may have missed a root, and took extra xrays, and preped the tooth for a crown saying that he could see if he missed a root easier that way. He tore up my gums so bad on that visist, that it took until today, 5 days after the re-visit to tell that the tooth itself still has a lot of pain. It is however not sensitive to hot or cold, but I have very severe pain if I put any pressure on it at all. could this be cause from the post they put in? And once a root canal is done, can a dentist open it back up take the post out, and see if he got all the root?
