Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
It looks that the tooth is still infected as when there is an infection in the apex of the tooth, pus is accumulated at the apex and when it is chronic this pus seeks an opening in the gums so sinus is formed, same in your case.
So you should visit your dentist again and get root canal treatment repeated.
Hope it will help you.
