My tooth has recently started to get sensitive what are my options?

Q. Hi – i had a route canal done in the uk about 4 years ago on one of my back tooth, i think it may have been slightly complicated as i had 4 canals of which 3 where treated but they didn’t want to go further into the nerve than was necessary (from what i can remember). My tooth has recently started to get sensitive and in the last couple of days it has started to go grey/black. From the info that i have given (which isn’t much i appreciate) what do you think my options are? Thanks for your help

A. Your main priority is to go to your local dentist and have an xray of the tooth to determine if the 4th canal is a source of any new infection.

If so a re-root canal would be indicated
