Not yet: The fact that you describe your procedure as "first part" means the doc not finished. Not all root canals are successful. Some teeth have to be extracted. You need further input from the doc who started the root canal. If your root canal was not done by a specialist (endodontist), you may want an opinion from an endodontist If the tooth must be extracted, see an oral surgeon.

See DDS: Speak with your dentist or endodontist in reference to your treatment and the possible need for antibiotic therapy as an adjunct. Have the dentist check for the possibility of a fracture in addition.

Sensitivity: If you are still uncomfortable call the Dentist or (hopefully) Endodontist (Specialist) that is treating you and report your concerns. Without examination we can't adequately diagnose your situation.
