(hint) other dentists are available. Your old dentist won't come after you. Get another opinion
Could be your trigeminal nerve, when they get inflamed they can hurt like hell and feel like tooth related pain. The good news, if it is that then they can solve the problem with injections. The bad news, those injections are done with a six to eight inch needle they stick into your face to reach the nerve root! We do them at the hospital I work at, results are apparently astounding according to patients.
A kidney only costs ~130,000 dollars so ya know you have two sooooooo
As a dentist, i suggest you should visit another dentist. Also there are no sinuses in your mandible (jaw), if the pain is near your nose just pull your haid back if it hurts then that's definitely sinusitis. I hope you get well soon :)
1) Sounds like your teeth aren't the cause. Check for osteo stuff in your jaw, etc, etc. 2) only $1500 for 6 visits and 2 root canals? Your dentist's prices are so low I have to wonder if he's licensed. Or are you insured well?

If a root canal didn't fix the tooth, which literally removes the "root" or nerve ending from the tooth, and didn't stop the pain, removing your teeth might be the only viable option. I am not a dentist though. However, a lot of tooth pain is not actually caused by teeth. While on deployment, the entire right side of my body slammed into a windshield at 30 MPH. I found out when I got home, all the teeth on that side had fractured. All needed crowns, a lot had root canals. I have a small mouth and the pressure from the crowns caused constant pain. Or at least I thought it was the pressure. But my cheekbone apparently also collapsed a little, messing with my sinus passages. This made them more prone to infection. I kept going back to the dentist because of the pain, when really it was a sinus infection. It's really hard to tell the difference. It doesn't help that sometimes it's both. That was $6k worth of work. Sorry for the long response and probably TMI, but it might be helpful to check into the sinus thing, it's more common than I knew.
This sounds really weird OP, but have you ever had your sinuses checked up on? I have chronic sinusitis and because of all of the connected nerves, I normally get frequent tooth aches and nerve pain associated with teeth. I thought for a long time it was my teeth, but it's actually due to my sinuses being inflamed. I'm sorry you have found no relief in your pain. :( Try to think of things you wouldn't though! You'd be surprised that one visit to check your sinuses or anything else could help with (presumed) unrelated pain. Good luck!
