Last month, I had a root canal in one of the back teeth. I did not have it capped with the enamel, just filled in with metal. I will probably get it capped someday when I have the money--and when it stops hurting. It started hurting a week ago, just occasional ouches. It is hurting more, just like it did when it still had roots. Hey. What the heck is going on here? Didn't that guy get all the roots out? To make it worse, a *different* dentist filled the tooth up after the first dentist took the roots out. A dentist who was horrified by the work done by the first dentist. Apparently, that company has a bad record. Gee, why didn't anybody tell me that BEFORE....but now what? I do NOT have the cash for someone to rip out the new filling to dibble around in there looking for the lone root stem. Is there anything else that might be wrong there that's simpler? And not quite as expensive? Damn, that was an expensive treatment! And if it didn't work....grrrrr!
