IMP - Half Root Canal done 5 months back
This is urgent !!
I had been to the dentist almost 5 months back for a root canal. I have a very bad phobia when it comes to dentist. It scares me to death.
So I went for 2 seatings and did not visit after that.
I had no pain until 4 days back. For past 4 days my tooth and ear hurts a lot, especially at night. So I take half combiflame and it helps.
I want to know now,
1 - Do I have to get my tooth extracted?
2 - Is it ok to take a pain killer and go to the dentist?
3 - Isn't there an option where the dentist gives me an anistisya and sends me to sleep and then does all the process? Because that would be the best thing for me because of the phobia I have.
Please help !!
It's urgent !!

You can get retreatment done by a good dentist. Local anesthesia will be sufficient during treatment which should be painless. The more you delay, the more complicated it becomes. Root canal is a better option than extraction if the tooth can be restored
