Well, I have to say, since antibiotic isn't fixing the pain, personally
I do not see what good a root canal will do except possibly give you
further ongoing problems and allow infection to develop later. Most
dentists don't tell you that root canals can (and do) fail, at which
point you are looking at tooth root surgery, which is no fun (I've had 3
of those--2 for failed root canals, and one to remove a damn steel post
put in my first root-canal). I think they use titanium posts nowdays.
As it was, because I could not tolerate the steel posts, all my root
canals are not as strong as they should have been.
If the tooth is anywhere that simply pulling it is possible, that is
what I'd do. It will be what I do if I have more such problems, as I
feel that my 7 root canalled teeth are simply foci of constant infection.

I went to dentist after a broken amalgam filling and had it replaced
with composit a month ago. Ended up with worse pain than before, so went
to another dentist and had filling taken out and a temporary one put in,
pain is less but still there. I tried CS then DMSO plus CS twice a day
with no improvement then out of desperation took the dreaded antibiotics
for 9 days, just stopped today, still no change. So now I supposed I
must have the blasted root canal and crown. Tried to explain the problem
is on the outside of the tooth and floss catches on it but it's just
below the gum line, but I guess they can't bond below the gum??? Anybody
know? This does not show on xray. Meanwhile I will try CS more often, 3
days till next appt. I would obviously rather save the tooth.
