Stumbled across this thread and hoping you are still out there to help me. It is coming up on 3 weeks after my bottom back molar extraction and I still feel lingering pain as if the tooth was still there. I too went to a new dentist. He said I had a cavity. When he went to fill it, he said I didn’t have a lot of tooth. To wait and see how that felt. Well ... now I had pain that I didn’t have before. Waited hoping to subside but didn’t. He then told me to have a root canal. I should have gone to a specialist but let him do it. Again ... continued discomfort. Went back ... said I had a hair line crack and gave me a few options. Get a crown or go to an oral surgeon. I didn’t want to spend the money on the crown if I didn’t know would fix it. Got a second opinion and a new X-ray from root canal specialist. Said to try a temporary crown to see if fixes issue. It didn’t. Went to oral surgeon. Told me to extract tooth. Was very anxious about everything so decided to got periodontist in NY who was highly recommended. He pulled my tooth. 3 weeks later still have uncomfortable sensation where the tooth once was. I am at a loss and have no idea where to go from here. Can anyone help me?
