Root canal treatment?!
Question:
Root canal treatment?
i did a root canal treatment and at that time the doc said that the root should be killed. that was fine for me...6 months later i started to have deep pain in the same tooth. went back there and and this time the doc says that its better to take out the tooth...why if the root is dead?And why was it painfull if the root is dead?
Answers:
Sometimes there can be an extra root/vearing off root that is not seen/treated at the time of treatment b/c it isn't visible and it is an anatomical deviance. You could be seen by an endodontist/specialist in root canals and have a consult and possible get the tooth retreated and that usually fixes the problem unless there is more going on that you have explained. Like a huge cavity/decay down to gumline/undergumline.
