Q.
I had root canal surgery a few months ago and a gold crown was placed on top of it. The crown keeps falling out and the tooth is extremely painful. Does this mean where I had the root canal treatment is infected? or is it something to do with my crown? My dentist said everything looks fine in the X-ray!

If it is falling out all the time it is possible that the preparation may have to be changed and a new crown made. It is also possible that there is a problem with your bite..This should be checked.
