ITS COMMON AFTER AN RCT ON ANY TOOTH THAT IT CAN TAKE A FEW DAYS TO WEEKS TO FEEL COMPLETELY HEALED. JAW SORENESS OR SORE IN THE AREA OF THE ROOT CANAL IS NOT UNCOMMON! PLEASE CALL US IF WE CAN BE OF ANY HELP!
You should be given antibiotics if the tooth was infected before Root canal treatment.
Call your dentist/endodontist, we may need to see you to adjust the bite on the root canal tooth. You might also need antibiotics and prescription for pain medications.
It is normal for a tooth to be tender or sore for a few days after a root canal, but it could also be due to other factors. You have not provided enough information for me to give you a definite answer.
