Root Canal - Improve Results?

About 2 years ago I had a root canal (done twice same tooth) which has been a complete failure. That tooth stills hurts to this day. Now I am faced with having to have another root canal or having my molar removed on another molar. I am reluctant to do the root canal thing again because of my past experience, but I don't want to loose my tooth. This is for my #2 molar. I had the silver fillings removed and replaced with the white filling. It broke off 3 days ago. As you can see I've had some bad dental experiences lately. Looking for advice.

you should do anything to save your teeth..only way to know for sure what to do is talk to your dentist and ask him his real opinion on the situation...he will give you the best advice from his experiences with past situations...tell him how you feel and explain that you dont want to waste money!!ask him is it honestly better to have the tooth romoved to avoid that headache...if he is a good dentist he should give you an honest answer....dentists are supposed to help you not take your money and try to work on teeth that are constantly failing root canals..it may be simple and it was just an extra nerve that was in your tooth(ask your dentist this) usually when you have a root canal your tooth is dead.thats the point...you should feel anything unless its an infection...you put crowns over root canaled teeth to protect them from breaking..or if a tooth is chipped conciderably you get a crown to cover and protect that from breaking more. you are right to feel the way you do but dont give up you are on the right track for caring!!!at least you care enough to ask this question..im pround of you!!try and giving it another shot:)wishing you better luck:)
Reply:I've been thru it all, if the tooth is real bad, get it out and focus on taking care of the teeth you have left. Don't let them put in a cap over the dead tooth, it will give you trouble in a year or so. I have couple of missing teeth in back now, I'm 41, but the good thing is i can brush the surrounding teeth better now.
Reply:It could be that the tooth is cracked; they don't always see the crack on xray. If you had 2 root canals on a tooth and still have pain then perhaps its time for extraction. You can get an implant and crown to replace it. Root canal therapy is very successful but not always. Make sure you go to an ENDODONTIST for a second opinion.
