I had a root treatment on a molar about 18 months ago and everything was fine, until this weekend WHEN IT STARTED TO HURT LIKE AN ABSOLUTE BASTARD.

How can a tooth with no nerve in it start hurting?

They don’t always get it all 🙁
But it might just be referred pain from the one next door.

IANAD, just had loads of tooth pain 🙁

Could also be an abscess which is affecting teeth either side.

Ficky

Karma?

My dentist tells me that my teeth have quite an array of nerves in them and when he does a root canal job he needs to poke down a few holes to get them all. Once he even drilled through a crown he had fitted 6 months prior in order to get at the last pesky bit.

It turns out that the one next to it had cracked. Sat here with a numb face and a temporary filling. Let’s see if it works, otherwise it’ll be a more expensive fix.

Teeth are bollocks. So is getting older.

I disagree. Getting older is the only thing keeping us alive.
