Yes can hurt but it's depending on the tooth and Root Canal Treatment.
You need to see RCT Specialist.

Yes, you can have a recurrent infection that may come about years after a root canal is completed, or if it was recently done, you may have to have the bite adjusted because it takes time for the ligaments to heal after treatment
Yes there can be an inflammatory response for 2-3 days after the procedure. Call your dentist for suggestions of pain management.
It takes 6-8 weeks to heal- of course it can hurt. If the tooth is not shaved down out of contact after root canal, it can hurt to bite or chew. If, however, the tooth hurts one year after root canal, that is a cause for concern. Also, sometimes one of the canals is not found and treated. This can cause pain or chronic/ recurring infection.
Definitely. Thats my short answer. I hope you are out of pain by now but if you grind can take at least a year to settle down. And if you grind, you should see me because you might have problems with your sleep and breathing. Your BreatheSleepDoc, Simi Silver, DDS www.silverdentalcentre.com www.TMJSleepCentre.ca
