i have had this really little, deformed tooth, with a messed up root i guess, for many many years...its the one right next to my big tooth on top. after i got my braces off, the dentists were worried about that tooth, so they wanted me to get a root canal. the thing is, that tooth never hurt, i never once had any pain, until they did the root canal. about a month after i had it done, it started hurting really bad, and its been about 2 months since and its killing me! its moving all throughout my mouth, and all the teeth on my left side are hurting so bad! and my gums above the root canal tooth. so my first question is, was the root canal even necessary, if it never bothered me til they did it? or would i have needed it eventually anyways? second..since i have pain, there saying the root canal failed, so now im scheduled for a apicoectomy in a few days to fix the failed root canal. im on antibiotics til then. if my root canal was never needed, would this surgery im about to get be extremely pointless?! im only doing it to make the pain go away,, but im worried this all never needed to happen in the first place! any opinions, advice, anything is very appreciated!!!! =]
and also, if you've had an apicoectomy..how is it?
thanks! (link)

I personnels think that having the root canal was the best thing to do since the tooth could cause long term problems. Also i think it was needed but the dentist you went to probably screwed it up on accident. Best of luck to you on the apicoectomy
