Sounds similar to your situation.

Tooth still intact. Thanks for asking.
My dentist was over exaggerating the infection. Haven't been back since the procedure to fix this infection because I've lost all trust in him because I'm still infuriated by the fact that he didn't do a 3D scan prior to the crown proceudre
. He has been my dentist since 12 years old. Lesson learned that if I ever want to do root canal, crown, bridges, etc. I will go to an endodontist.
The endodontist I went to said it was a minor infect and all he had to do was drill a hole in my crown and do a root canal that my dentist left out when doing the crown. It was a 30 min procedure, but took almost 3 months because he had to put some medicine in there first for 2 months.
If I had an abscess, I'd do the same and extract it. That shit can kill you.

If I recall, my cost just under $2000. Had 80% coverage from a company I was working for.
