I’m concerned that more dental work will make my sore nerve even worse, what do you suggest?

Q. Lat Dec, I had 2 deep fillings in lower back teeth. since then one tooth hasn’t settled, still nervy, and have tingling along face lower lip and chin that side. Dentist says teeth are fine and don’t need anymore work done. Last injection given hit nerve and sent electric shock down my face. I have app to take tooth out this week, to see if it eleviates nerve pain and tingling, but concerned tnat more work to teeth may make nerve worse. Under doctor, nearologist but no one can give me an answer. Should I have tooth taken out? Have been offered root canal although not needed but can’t bear thought of more driling on nerve. Please advise. It ‘s been nearly 6 months of this now. Thank you,
A. I don’t think taking the tooth out is likely to work, perhaps you should try the root canal treatment in case there is an infection on the root, alternatively, wait and see if it recovers over the next year or so
