What Could Redness Below Teeth That Have Undergone Root Canal Treatment Indicate?

just recently maybe a few days ago I noticed a dark red line at the bottom of two of my back teeth. one of the teeth I had a root canal done several years ago. I never noticed it until it became sore a few days ago. the soreness didn't occur until after I found out I was pregnant. I have a dentist appt. coming up but I would like to know now what it could possibly be.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have redness in root canal treated tooth after several year back this can be due to inflamation of gingiva or periodontal ligament , may be due to pocket formation in tooth, or due to pregnancy induced .
For this you should consult dentist and go for examination ,investigation IOPA xray of tooth and its treatment Oral prophylaxis , inmeantime you can do warm saline rinses.
Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.
