I ha a crown about a month and a half ago and my tooth still really hurts. They didn't give me a root canal ahead of time, which I guess is optional. Initially it was throbbing for the first week- even waking me up at night. I went back a week later and they shaved some of it down so it for better. Now it just throbs all the time - all over again. Now the dentist isn't open at all this week. I hate taking medicine ( I take enough already)- do I take some or just deal with the throbbing. It's not horrible but it's constant and painful.

Stupid tooth. Think they'll have to do it over again or give me a root canal instead???? How much does a root canal cost in the northeast USA?!?
