He worked long on "desentizing molar" after anesthetic. Kept rubbing and rubbing it hard. Then he covered it with amalgam and cured it with light.Tried to place perm bridge on,,,,bite way off! Unsuccessful, so he put old temp back on. Says if I still have pain by Monday, I can decide on root canal. Presently it still hurts when I chew on it. Very afraid! Anesthetic on this tooth has not worked well. He does not put people to sleep or drug them.Says he must take new impressions and have new perm bridge made since one he tried didn't fit .He could place new bridge on sore tooth and hope for best, or I can have him canal it (with pain) hoping this will cure pain while chewing on this tooth.No gaurantees.Tooth is not infected or problem other than being sensitive when I chew on it.Help!!! Help!!! What should I do? I want this resolved as quickly as possible. Should I give tooth more time or canal the damn thing?I can not tell you the stress and suffering this has caused. Opinions?? Please

Do a root canal, they don't really hurt that much, and afterwords there will be no pain ever.

Going by what you say this tooth definitely requires a Root Canal Treatment.
Have a second opinion from an Endodontist.
Dentistry today is a relatively painless business.
Ask for a local anasthetic.
Insist on one.
Leave the rest to the specialist
