Since My Root Canal Treatment My Tooth Has Been Sensitive And Causes Pain Spreading To My Ears. Why Is This?
Q.
Hello Dr. Moore, I have undergone root canal treatment 2 months back. Currently my root canalled tooth is highly sensitive even to normal water. For both hot and cold things it is sensitive. It’s causing a pain and spreading to my ears. I am brushing with Sensitive pro-relief for 3 weeks, twice daily, yet no relief from the pain. While having chewing gum I can feel slight pain in the root canalled tooth at a particular spot. From that particular spot only, the pain is getting triggered. Can you suggest why this could be happening? Thank you, I shall look forward to your reply.

Hello and thank you for getting in touch. Based on what you have told me it’s probably coming from another tooth – You should go back to your dentist and have him investigate further. You may need to see a periodontist as it may have become infected. I hope this helps you sort your problem out and you are able to clear this up. Best of luck. Dr Andrew Moore.
