Thanks for the advice. I appreciate the link to aae, but I discovered
I may have some insurance coverage for this, and they gave me a
provider list. I tried to call this afternoon but found they were
already closed. I will certainly try to get an appointment tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help.

So I have two questions: First, since I don't know the
new dentist well, should get a second opinion from a specialist on
whether the tooth can be saved, or is that something that I can assume
she is correct about?

To be sure get a second opinion from an endodontist, a
specialist in root canal therapy <RCT>

Second, if the problem resulted from poor
procedures on the original work and the tooth has to be extracted,
should I return to the previous dentist's office and see whether they
would cover some of the expenses of an implant or some kind of bridge
work?

Seriously doubt that even if you could find them but you could
try. If you want to file a lawsuit you need an attorney and
a dental expert to testify.

I don't think the cotton was a mistake, as my previous dentist
was in the building where I worked and we were on friendly terms,
seeing each other every day. He was from Lebanon and was educated in
Europe, and I suspect he thought the procedure he used was sufficient.

That's probably likely. However in the US we want to obturate all
canal spaces.

Right now the root canal is open, as my new dentist said I have a
slight infection and it would be best not to seal it up, but I need to
decide what to do without waiting too long. I would greatly
appreciate any advice.

I don't leave teeth open.
Get thee to and endodontist ! Quick !www.aae.org
