Reading this thread has made me pause to think about my recent root canal / cap experience.
I was in to have a regular cleaning and was told I had a cavity in one of my molars. Had the filling done and then over a month or so the cold sensitivity I had got uncomfortable (I had been using Sensodyne for quite a while). Went back to dentist and all looked fine they said with filling. Long story short, was referred to a specialist and had a root canal done followed by a cap. By the time I had the root canal I couldn't hardly breath through that side of my mouth without feeling some slight pain. I felt like it was good decision and really didn't consider pulling it. Perhaps I should have?
