It usually takes several visits before a crown is put on a root canal.. please tell me the crown isn't on the tooth that's just had the root canal, also by the time they put a crown on.. there shouldn't be pain. I'm wondering if you might have what's called dry socket.. that happens when a tooth's been pulled or a deep root canal that doesn't heal properly. It hurts like hell (that happened to my husband when he had a root canal some years back) If it doesn't go away with the antibiotics, you need to call your dentist or oral surgeon.. don't ignore stuff like this, it can be serious.
