tooth is hurting eve after four years since root canal was done

Q. I had a crown put in—but the tooth still hurt—so I had a root canal done through the crown—now 4 yrs later the tooth is hurting again—how can a tooth hurt that is dead of all feeling ?

A. Teeth are still attached to you although they may have no nerve.  If a swelling occurs under the tooth in the attached area pressure from biting can cause you pain.
