Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have undergone root canal treatment dont worry this feeling of numbness and tooth hurts on bite is normal after RCT treatment .

You will do is warm saline gargle two - three times a day

One Capsule vitamin B complex once daily for 7 days

Avoid eating from side of RCT Treated tooth for atleast 15 days

If after 15 days you feel pain then consult your dental surgeon again and go for examination of tooth.

Hope this will help you.
