My husband just had a root canal in a tooth that he suspects is cracked, although the dentist doesn't agree. After the initial procedure, he was in a lot of pain until the second appointment. Now the actual canal work has been done and the tooth is still hurting quite a bit, mostly sensitivity to hot and cold. His dentist doesn't seem to be too worried about it, and has even scheduled another appointment to have posts inserted before the final restoration. All totalled, it'll be four appointments and a lot of money for a tooth that I suspect he's going to lose anyway.
Has anyone ever been through such a thing with a root canal? The canal work was done a week ago now, I would think any post operative pain should have subsided by now, or am I wrong.
