On the one hand, dental work is never 100% certain. Lots of things can go
wrong, even if fair precautions are taken. On the other hand, this is
starting to sound like poor work on the part of the dentist.

Ask the dentist why this happened. I had several problems with my dentist
in Calgary, and am now looking for someone else to fix a root canal he
botched. He also botched a root canal on my wife, and paid for the repair
work that time.
