How Long It Takes To Reduce Tooth Pain After Having Root Canal?
Should I be pressing a tooth six days after a root canal, and it still hurts. Also, when I move the side of my cheek to talk or place my tongue over the tooth, it can cause the tooth to throb or the ones nearest it. I have a temporary flilling until I can get it capped. When should I get relief from the throbbing?

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcare magic,
I understand your concern,pain after root canal some causes may be like-some infection(pulp) remain in canal or root canal filling material(gutta-percha points)can be longer than root canal.
so you need to one IOPA(x-ray) of that tooth to get the region of this.
you should also take some antibiotics and painkiller.
I think you should visit your dentist for checkup,
I wish get well soon.
thanks,
