Hi

I had symptoms of a cracked tooth in my lower right wisdowm tooth back in december (acute pain when chewing, with cold or heat). The dentist (in VHI clinic) removed the filling that was on it, put a temporary dressing to see if it would settle. It did, so my own dentist refilled it last wednesday. Since Friday, the pain has been back, radiating in the other teeth. I have a few crowns to be done on molars and pre molars, so I would rather keep the money for these than repair the wisdom one. Is it a sensible or must I have it root canaled and crowned anyway?

Thanks
