I had a root canal on tooth 20 about 9 months back. and I still feel pain when I touch that tooth or tap on it horizontally. Dentists when they tap on it top-down I have no pain. Any thoughts as to how and why would a tooth with a dead nerves still conduct pain... Pain gets worse as the day goes on. Could TMJ be the cause I doubt it but I am no expert??
