Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You may be developing an abscess. The white pustule which you are seeing could be the opening / mouth of the abscess.
Did you undergo Root Canal Treatments (RCTs) of the two teeth?As such complications are very rare with a proper RCT.
You may have become infection during the treatment of the two teeth which you have undergone.
You may start antiseptic gargles like with Chlorhexidine, take some painkillers to alleviate the pain and may also be put on antibiotics.
I would ask you to visit your Dentist for re exploration of the repaired teeth.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.
