Question : does ears have little discomfort after going through root canal and dental fillings
Brief Answer:
referred pain...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Dental pain can be referred to the ear. So it is not abnormal to feel ear pain if your teeth is affected. However root canal and dental filling shouldn't be causing prolonged ache. So if your teeth or the ear is pain for prolonged time say days, it would be advisable to report to the doctor.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
