Ms. lybrate-user it is completely normal. It's called tenderness which happens due to the infection around the root of the teeth. It will go away with antibiotics.

RCT 1st sitting makes the roots open so it is common to feel pain or discomfort. After filling it may become normal.

This is very common after first sitting of rct. It tissue at the apex of the tooth has to heal. Go to the doctor back if it's unbearable he will grind the tooth a little and keep a medicament inside.

Its very normal. The periapical tissues are still healing from inflammation and thats why when you give biting pressure, they hurt. Tell your dentist in the second sitting about this so that he or she can reduce the crown length to make it bitefree for some time. If there is gross periapical infection, additional sittings may be required with application of calcium hydroxide dressings.

Do not worry. The pain will subside.

Dear lybrate-user, slight discomfort on biting is quite normal when undergoing rct. There is no reason to worry. But do mention it to your dentist in the next appointment. He/she may choose to put the tooth out of contact if they come to know of your discomfort.
