Kanna,

The teeth are infected. The infection is progressing to the jawbone adding to the already present inflammation, that's why they hurt. Is this pain typical after a root canal, yes because the teeth are infected and the bacteria is building up pressure inside/outside of the tooth. Does that mean it's ok to have this happening, absolutely not.

There is not much more information that I can offer you other than to say root canals can not cure the infection and unfortunately yes you will lose those teeth. The worst part about this whole thing is that your dentist has not properly informed you by telling you that the longer those teeth are present the more deteriorated the bone will become and that when this occurs replacing them will be difficult.

I am sorry to be so blunt... I am sick and tired of people being mislead and misinformed by their dentist. It is not only financially costly to you, but your overall health is at risk also.
