I had a cracked molar, which was causing me load of pain. My lovely dentist performed root canal work on it about a month ago.
In the last week or so, the tooth has become sensitive to hot food or drink. Really sensitive. If hot food hits it, I'm in orbit.
I went to see him yesterday, and he says 'but I took the roots out! It's not possible' etc. I'm not imagining this pain, I can tell you.
Incidentally, at the same visit, he has persuaded me to get a mouth guard because I'm grinding my teeth. Not sure if this is related to my pain, but just so you know.
Any ideas as to why this tooth is hurting, if the nerve has been removed? Help! I'm sure the dentist is a good one; apparently he lectures at UCL.
