Hi, I went to the dentist for a checkup. There were no visible problems and I did not have any symptoms of anything. However an x-ray revealed that 3 of my teeth are decaying from inside and need root canal treatment. How is it possible that my teeth can decay from inside?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, see what happened is that when we eat food it sticks on teeth, goes in interdental areas also when we brush some areas left uncleaned for that we should have to do proper flossing, brushing twice daily, use mouthwash chlorhexidine to clean interdental areas also, if it left uncleaned deposition of bacteria are there and could cause Root caries which are not Clinically visible, don't worry about that go to Dentist and go for ROOT CANAL TREATMENT. Hope this will help you.
