"Friendly office. Dr Beri is wonderful. I will definetly return."
"Dr. Beri is very professional and strives to keep his clients happy. His staff does a great job, and Debbie is one of the nicest and most genuine people you will ever meet. "
"First, you should know I am big baby when it comes to the dentist...BUT Dr Beri is AWESOME in many ways. Great team for sure, but more important I had literally NO PAIN at all. I have been to other dentists but will NEVER go to anyone again. If he moves away I will follow him that is how good he is. He was informative, friendly, personable and did I mention NO PAIN at all, I was actually SHOCKED that anyone is this good. He had to fix 2 problems caused by 2 other past dentists and I feel GREAT.
If you hate the dentist go to Dr Beri and his team, it is by far the best dentist experience I have ever had."

Sounds like the pressure pain/discomfort is the start of an infection.
The first thing to have the dentist who did your root canal to check is the bite, then place you on an antibiotic to control a possible infection.
Sometimes it is difficult to see an acute infection starting on a X-ray.
Even under the best conditions residual bacteria can cause this, or there is an invisible crack in the root that the bacteria can enter back into the root.
If possible, ask your dentist to refer you to get a CT scan (3D) X-ray which will identify if there was an existing infection to start with.
Just be aware that hairline cracks running vertically down the root are not visible on the CT scan, however the bone surrounding the tooth responds to a crack by creating a space between the bone and the tooth just in the area going down the crack line.
If this is the case, I would plan to have the tooth taken out as it may heal short term, however long term, it affects your body.
An chronically infected upper molar causes significant sinus issues, and affects your general health long term.
If you get the CT scan done and all is clear, and the tooth heals and all pain/ pressure gone, then make sure you get a crown on it as soon as possible, then 6 months from now get another CT to make sure that the root canal was successful.
