Hi,
Last month I had severe pain on my upper left molar and I suspected that my tooth with a 1 year old RCT was the culprit. I went to a dentist and my fears were true. The infections was there in XRays, below the roots. He recommended doing a root canal again and sent me to an endodontist. The endodontist recommended the same thing and fixed an appointment. But then, I stumbled on this website and read Bryanna's views about RCT. I was thinking that how the re-RCT will correct an infection which is not even on the roots. I looked for a holistic dentist. She got a 3D xray and showed that there was no bone left around the roots. So a extraction was preferred. My tooth was sensitive to cold and hot fluids(strange that one is not supposed to feel anything on the tooth after RCT).

Anyways, 3 days back I got the extraction and bone graft done. She didn't prescribe any antibiotics as she said that infection was scraped out. She prescribed painkiller, only if needed, and a gel(sockit). I am using the gel regularly but I am still feeling the heat and cold the same way I used to feel earlier. Apart from that, I don't feel much pain throughout the day. Couple of advils work fine along with Vicodine at night.
Only issue for me is the sensitivity and occasional headache on same side as the molar. Is this normal after a extraction/bone graft? I am seeing the dentist again on Wednesday for removing the sutures from membrane she used. Shall I ask her something else?

Thanks
