Hi doctor, I ve a tooth pains since last saturday. However i visied as dentist who told me that my tooth need to be removed as the root canal which was done 3 yrs back was incompelete bcoz of which i have infection in my tooth. Can yoy let me know if there is any aother resoultion apart from getting my tooth extracted.
Hi Dear siri15y By your history it looks like root canal treatment done for your tooth is incomplete, or it is not done correctly. The options thought for you is not only extraction. Before deciding on extraction an endodontist has to be consulted and opinion has to be taken whether root canal treatment can be redone. In that case the present filling what has been done will be removed, and the root canals would be prepared again, and new filling will be done. If pretreatment cannot be done, which may be due to various reasons like perforated canal, fractured root, periodontal (gum) problem etc., then extraction has to be done. I recommend you to consult a good endodontist before going for extraction. Take care Wish you a speedy recovery and a great smile. Smile Chat Doctor.
