I had a root canal done, I do not have a crown and it is hurting a lot is that normal?

Question:

I am in post with no crown and my tooth and gum are hurting a lot the doctor went on vacation :(

Answers:
If it's more than 24 hours after the root canal and you can't eat, you need to see a dentist. Phone yours, even though he's on vacation. He's probably made arrangements with another dentist to cover him for any patient emergencies, and this counts as one.

The other dentist will probably want to see you and make sure everything's all right rather than just phoning in a pain prescription.
