A few months ago I had a root canal and a crown done on a top back tooth. If I push on it with my tongue on the sides, it feels a little pressure achey. Not a pain or a sting, just a funny ache type feeling. It does not hurt when I push on it straight on or chew on it, and it is not temperature sensitive. It has no pain... but sometimes if I chew something like a granola bar or steak it might feel a little achey for a bit afterwards. Not while I am chewing, but after. I wouldn't say it is a hurting ache, more like an irratated ache. Any ideas what is going on? I do have a dental appt, but wondering if anyone has had anything similar happen?

Might be that the crown is still hitting in your bite a bit too much. Always a possibility it could related to your sinuses. X-rays and an exam will help them determine what's going on up there.

Toothache Months After Root Canal

I will make a suggestion that worked for me.
I had to have a front top crown replaced after it broke. After it was done I continued to feel pain up the root to the corner of my eye.
For most of my life I have used Hydrogen peroxide for any kind of mouth ills or pain. So I bumped my usage to swishing and brushing with it 3 times away. It was completely healed withing 2 weeks.
The Hydrogen Peroxide will leak down to the root and help heal and kill the pain.
It is less than a dollar a bottle at the drug store next to the rubbing alcohol.
Give it a try and do it three times a day until it feels better.
I hope it works for you , it always does for me.

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

Sounds like your bite is off. Call your DDS and have them check your occlusion - seriously it will help a lot.
Your cap just may need a little sanding and you may feel better. At the very least after all that, they owe you a little help.

make sure that all the nerves in the tooth are completely dead...if they are then try using a toothpaste like sensodyne (sp??)
