[|Human|] I was scheduled for a root canal, and after almost three hours and another xray my dentisit said he would have to send me to a root canal specialist--or just an extraction --I  had a deceision to make--meanwhile I am suffering from a very sore mouth and wondering if it because I may have bitten down on the area-- what do you think? and what should iI do to ease this situation
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your dentist has suggested you in right direction. Whenever the tooth/teeth is grossly decayed or infection involves the fur cation areas. Then in such chronic cases it is always better to consult an Endodontist(root canal specialist and go for extraction.Therefore, you can meet your endodontist with the recent x-rays and then do as per advised.Meanwhile, continue with your medication and do warm saline rinses. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
