Default Pain (sinus) after a new root filling, the old one was removed.

Hello,

Two months ago my crown fell out of my mouth, a crown that I have had for ten years (front upper tooth) . I never felt any pain from my tooth under the crown and had no problem with it until it fell out. I needed to get a crown 10 years ago because my root filled toth broke. I went to the dentist after the tooth fell out and he took some X-rays and told me that there was some infection and that he would need to take out the old root filling and put a new one. He put calcium in it after the root canal, after that I got some pain in the tooth and got some antibiotics and the pain went away but instead I started to get pain in the lower front tooth. The dentist ended up rootfilling the lower front tooth as well after he found a filling in it that had been leaking. Anyways, the pain in the lower front tooth finally went away but came back after several days, a sensitive pain, not a bad one, the dentist finally finished the root filling process with the lower tooth and still it is sense
tive with a little pain, one week after the final visit. Then suddenly I started to feel pain in my upper front tooth AGAIN (the little pain in the lower tooth is there as well). The pain feels like a sinus pain, I am not in pain when I chew on it, it just feel like an irritation, it is like a pain in my chin or something, I have been taking antibiotics but they have not helped. I have got holes in my teeth in the molars and sometimes the pain mooves from the front tooth to them.
Have you got any idea what could be the problem. I have been reading that an infection in a rootfilled tooth can never go away and it is always better to remove the tooth and get an implant? I also want to ask if the dentis could maybe take a look at this by openning the crown or will he have to remoove the crown in order to see what is going on?When the dentist finished working on the upper front tooth and put the old crown back in place he saw nothing wrong with it an nothing strange in the x-rays as well.
Thank you and I hope you can help :-)
My best regards
