It has been determined that I do NOT need a new root canal. Because my bite is so off - most likely the tooth in question is hurting because it is rotating and erupting. It has no tooth above it to meet/hit. The ligament on one side of the tooth is visibly thickened/inflammed on xray. So this is either the reason for the pain OR it is the fracture that has worsened.
The dentist will try injecting an anti inflammatory into the ligament first to see if it decreases the pain - if that does not help, the tooth will be extracted.
Thanks for all the "helpful" comments on here. LOL

Uhhh why bother posting if that is the standard response?
What IS the point of these boards? I could answer that way myself! And I am no doctor!
