question: I had root canal done for the third time after 6 years of being pain free.  I accidentally pressed on them when I was asleep.  Then the pain returned.  The tooth has been painful for 3 months although slightly more settled lately tik I had the root canal surgery two days sgo. Now my tooth feels like its pulsating.  Plus the gums behind my front two teeth are burning and stinging.  And I have a little bump behind the front teeth it is also sore. I'm worried that I'll have to have it extracted,  and I'm 34 and it seems to young an age to lose them.
