Why Is My Upper Tooth Hurting Even After Root Canal Treatment?

hello
my upper left tooth was hurting me when i eat, so i went to the dentist and she performed a "root canal" however she did not remove the nerve, she kept on saying that we might be able to save your tooth.

this was three days ago, and now mmy tooth is hurting even more than before the treatment and even when am not eating. why is that happening?

thank you

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
You have pain in your front teeth now dont worry much you are under going root canal treatment and process is not completed yet , may be there some periapical pathology at root apex may be pus formation , it takes time to heal , take medication for pain prescribed by your dentist. Wait for some days.
Hope this will help you.
