Bottom molar with crown and root canal hurts. Dentist wants to pull it out. Good idea?
A month after root canal and crown my pre-molar still hurts. The dentist checked it twice and said the canal looks perfect. Is this just sensitive?
Just had a crown placed and then a root canal on a back molar. Why does it still hurt to chew solid food?
Need root canal on upper back left molar. Had it filled 8 times, always hurts a lot. Afraid a root canal will hurt even worse, I might not be numb.
Had a root canal on molar 6 months ago, no crown. Was eating and some of the tooth broke. Will an extraction hurt less since the roots should be gone?
