Had Root Canal On Tooth, Filling Was Put In It, Having Tooth Ache As Infection Is Grown. Do I Need To Get Another Root Canal?
I previously had a root canal on this tooth and a filling was put in it. Ive had a tooth ache for 4 days and the dentist told me that an infection has grown under the filling and now i have to get another root canal. That was yesterday. Today I am throwing up and I have a fever.

Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with us.
Root canal is the treatment of the tooth which heals the apical infection of the tooth, if still pain is there it means infection is still present and you have to get a re-treatment done.
I think you should visit a good dentist for the re- treatment of the tooth so that i can not happen again in the future.
