Q. HELLO DR PATEL. I HAD A ROOT CANAL ON A LARGE UPPER MOLAR. IT HAS NOW STOPED HURTING. I CAN EAT PAIN FREE ON IT, TOUCH IT PAIN FREE, TAP IT PAIN FREE. HOWEVER IT FEEL WEIRD LIKE THERE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IN IT . MY FRONT TEETH HAVE STARTED TO ACHE SINCE THE ROOT CANAL. MY JAW ALSO ACHES NEAR MY EARS. I HAVE HAD THE BITE ADJUSTED AND ITS PERFECT. COULD THIS BE SINUS? KIND REGDS.

A. If there was infection it could take a while to settle it sounds like the symptoms are reducing so I would wait until everything is pain free.  It could be a sinus infection or the fact that the bite was too proud.  Leave everything for at least 10 days unless symptoms get worse.
