[|Human|] I have done my root canal treatment 2 months back but today morning its started paining there. What may be the reason?
[|AI|]  Hi,First you need to discern that, is your tooth hurting or is it the gum around the tooth that is causing pain. Many a time in root canal treated and capped teeth food gets lodged in between the cap and gums causing mild infection in the area causing pain and discomfort. If it is the gum then you just need to do warm saline rinses3-4 times/day, use a good mouthwash and take a mild painkiller if required. The pain will be relieved in a day or two. If you are sure it is the tooth that is hurting then you need to visit your dentist who will take a X-ray and determine if you need a repeat root canal, if not then he may give you a course of an antibiotic and an anti inflammatory painkiller to remove whatever little infection caused it.
