Why is unfinished root canal treatment causing me pain?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Q.
On the 5th Jan I had a crown fitted on a tooth that had broken my previous dentist said thet due to age teeth become brittle and she tried to repair it. I change my dentist to one nearer home and they fitted a crown since then I have been back with pain. The third week I went back and root canal treatment was performed. Last week I was due to have the root canal treatment finished but I had pain in my lower jaw and a slight ear ache I asked the dentist to give me some antibiotics ib case there was any infection and could I have the root canal treatment finished the following week which I am due on tuesday. I still have some pain but painkillers help. What should I do,

I had root canals but should I consider implants?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Q.
About 5 years ago I had an accident that required restoration to my front top teeth. I have one missing incisor because of that accident as well that is now bridged. I had root canals on 4 teeth that are now starting to need retreats because of infection. I’ve also been told that there is some decay on one tooth that might require a reconstruction of the whole bridge area. I have a few questions, 1. should a root canal last longer than 5 years? 2. How does tooth decay happen on a root canaled/crowned tooth and is it preventable? 3. I was 25 when the accident happened and was never offered the implant option, should that be something I consider now? Thank you in advance for your answers.,
