So, I’m looking at 2 root canals already…
I suspect its because the teeth are very heavily restored,
I have 2 missing molars on the other side,
I’m a heavy clencher,
The crowns have now been changed a few times,
One has apparently developed what looks like chronic root resorption..
The other has pulpitis with inflammation all around the roots that I’m told looks like it’s messing with my sinuses.

I had to get another crown right by all these other crowns..
This tooth already was not doing well and has had what I now suspect to be reversible pulpitis on and off, same as all the other crowns that now need root canals.
These other crowns have litterly never done well from day 1 since I got them. I just never knew what was happening.
I kept going back to the dentist over the last 18 years and they kept telling me they looked fine.
Like not even one dentist
I went to multable dentists

Now I’m terrified for this tooth.
Idk if it was just the new crown
When I first got it I had severe pain going up the side for 2 weeks,
I still have heat sensitivity.
It’s also heavily restored
With this history should I get a root canal on it?
Why did no one warn me about this?
Why did no one even check?
These teeth have hurt since forever
With each crown replacement the pain got worse and now especially the one with sinus involvement is just TERRIBLE.
I feel vibrating all through my eye and half my face, my ear pops..I’m just miserable all the time. Half my mouth buzzes..
Even the first endodontist sent me home..

And now a second dentist is referring me to another endodontist after seeing the x ray confused as to why the endodontist sent me home..
