Hello. I had an silver filling that developed a cavity below a year ago. My dentist removed the silver and crowned the tooth. After about two months I started developing severe temperature sensitivity with pain lasting for several minutes after eating or drinking. I went back to the dentist and he said it needs a root canal. He prescribed me amoxocyllin to prep for the root canal in one month. I have been done with the antibiotics for two weeks and am scheduled for the root canal this week. I haven't had any tooth pain or sensitivity since ending the meds. Do I still need the root canal or did the meds fix the problem? Thank you
