it wasnt severely infected to begin with. The xray showed a small black area. You have seen the xray. After the root canal, any moderate pain i had, diminished but after 4 months, the tooth is giving me burning sensation above it.
I dont know if its a reinfection or nerve damage. Usually burning is a sign of nerves? if it was a reinfected tooth or abcess wouldnt the pain be continuous and hurting rather than the burning or numbing that i feel?
