I’m looking for some insight or advice on a frustrating dental situation I’ve been dealing with.
Initially, I went to the dentist because of sharp, radiating pain in the upper left quadrant of my mouth that was really hard to pinpoint. The dentist decided to place a crown on one tooth to see if that resolved it, but the pain didn't improve at all.
Even though the X-rays looked healthy and the tooth tested completely normal on the cold test, the bite test did hurt. Based just on that pain during the bite test, the dentist suspected an invisible crack and recommended extracting it. I trusted them and went ahead with the extraction, but it didn't fix a thing—I still have the exact same pain. Because a healthy tooth was pulled, I am now looking at needing two implants to fix everything.
I finally went to a new dentist for a second opinion. During the exam, they actually found external tooth resorption on a tooth just two spaces away from the one that was pulled. They have now referred me to a specialist for further evaluation.
Should I reach out to the dentist that pulled the 1st tooth?

Hey everyone, I just really need to vent and see if anyone else has ever gone through a dental nightmare like this, because I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed.
A few months ago, I started getting this awful, sharp pain on the upper left side of my mouth. It was so hard to pinpoint exactly which tooth it was coming from. My dentist tried putting a crown on one tooth to see if it helped—it didn't. Even though the X-rays looked completely healthy, they told me they suspected the tooth had a hidden crack that wasn't showing up, so they recommended extracting it.
I trusted them and had the tooth pulled. But after the extraction, the exact same sharp pain was still there. It felt like a total nightmare. To make matters worse, around that same time, the office formally dismissed me as a patient because I had missed a few appointments.
I finally got in with a different dentist and a specialist to figure out why I was still in pain. During the exam, the new dentist immediately identified external tooth resorption on a tooth two teeth away from the one that was mistakenly pulled. The tooth they extracted was completely fine; they just missed the actual problem.
Because I no longer have dental insurance, I am now staring down the reality of needing two implants entirely out of pocket—one to replace the healthy tooth they accidentally took, and one for the tooth with resorption.
Has anyone ever gone through something similar where a dentist completely misdiagnosed you or pulled the wrong tooth? How did it turn out for you, and what did you do next? I’m currently trying to figure out my next steps and could really use some shared experiences right now.
