This "biting hurts" sounds little ominous. Have they X-rayed your roots? I had recently two root canals and the doctor told they have been infected for half a century, but healed on their own. The reason they were infected was I a stopped chewing Xylitol-gum. And the reason I stopped chewing was I my teeth started cracking because of old age. Root canals are not big thing nowadays, painless and fast.

I did have X-rays taken the last time I was at the dentist, but I don't know if that covers the roots.

Ok. X-rays are not that good, it mostly is guesswork. But I remembered other indicator. Does it hurt when you push the roots from outside at your face? Also does it feel mushy or liquid-ly at some point. I had totally painless bag of puss under my eye for 10 years. Only when got infected for the second time, it started to hurt and needed a canal, via which the said puss squirted out. It is like totally new now, did not even need a crown.
