Rooth canal NOT well done

Hi  i went to a dentist to treat a tooth for rooth canal, becouse was really hurting me and was already without the restoration.Ok he start the rooth canal and after he put the crown this tooth start to hurt really bad.He put inside of the tooth a post too.It pass already more than o1 month, its ashelly almost 02 months and i still have pain.I told him that the tooth hurts me and he sad, that it wasnt the tooth that wasnt hurting me, but the wisdom tooth by the side.So i decide to go to another dentist , where i use to go before, i couldnt treat this tooth with him becouse he doesnt have any kind of payment plan.This dentist took one ex ray from my tooth(rooth canal tooth) and he told me that the dentist that did the rooth canal didnt finish the rooth on my tooth, this is why i have pain now.They talk to each other.I dont know what they spoke.The dentist who did the rooth canal ask me to go back to his office, i did.He sad , you can do two things:01 pul out the tooth or redeem, but i cant do that, a specialist will do for free.I took almost 02 bottles of penicillin with 30 pills becouse he sad it could be infeccted.I didnt work.The tooth wasnt infected.I dont know what i should do about it.I already pay him with a card from a Care credit company, it cost me$1.450.00 for the rooth canal plus post plus crown.If i pull out this tooth should i ask for money back?It doesnt cost much to pull out?Someone  told me to file a complain about the problem.

I know it is probably too late for you. I have had 4 bad root treatments by non specialists. Months/years down the line I have discovered they have gone wrong and left me no option for conserving the tooth. In future I won't let anyone other than a trained endodontist (specialist in root treatment) do my root treatments no matter how much it costs - it is not worth the later consequences (implants are much more expensive!)

if your dentist wont refund your $, and if you have written opinions and x-ray proof that the work was done poorly, you may want to file a complaint with the state board of dentistry-- just call them up nd they will tell you what to do. In the mean time I would get the tooth treated correctly so you are not in pain.

I think I would have the specialist retreat the root canal and go to another dentist.
