Sensitivity after root canal?!


Question:

Sensitivity after root canal?

i got root canal done my two front tooth 4 days ago as i am getting cosmectic correction (i have very healthy teeth, no decay whatsoever) done on them this friday. the whole procedure was painless. however i noticed that now when i tap my two front teeth even lightly, i'll get a sort of ache akin to biting into an ice cream with sensitive teeth. is this normal? or is it a sign of infection? thanks!

Answers:

My dentist says it's normal to have mild pain or sensitivity following root canal for a while. My last one hurt for about 3 weeks, but now it doesn't hurt at all.

If you don't have pain all the time, or a fever, its probably not an infection.
