I thought that did the trick but the pain is back. I am feeling an odd burning sensation in the gums and both teeth are still tender to tapping. There were no cracks visible in the roots and a 3d xray did not show any problems or overfilling of the canals. According to the Endo everything went well and no real issue were seen.

How does Atipical facial pain act or also Phantom Tooth pain? Could this have been a nerve issue all along? I am now pretty concerned about the fact it is not getting better. The pain does now wake me at night and tylenol takes the edge off.
