Do I need to go dentist again?

I went dentist 2 days ago and had a front teeth x-ray. This showed I need a root canal on a front tooth from trauma, I had bit into a fork 3 weeks before.
Last night I fell asleep without my night guard and now another incisor on the other side feels sensitive but heavy. It feels like the one needing a root canal but I bit duller and without the burning feeling in my jaw.
Should I go back dentist now and ask for another x-ray or wait. Can clenching for a few hours whilst I forgot to wear it cause root canal damage? The tooth on top feels sore but not like the incisors heaviness.

Clenching Cant cause discomfort like you describe. I’d see how it goes for a week. I’ve done that and the pain slowly went away.

Can. Dammit. Can cause discomfort.
fucking autocorrect keeps changing can (small letters) to Cant (capital c). WTAF
