I had a dental caries of my lower tooth, i was given antibiotics since i had lot of pain, now the pain is decreased but the doctor says the teeth has been damaged badly and asked me to undergo root canal treatment. Now iam not having pain, is it necessary for me to under go this treatment. Why this si needed when iam not having any toothache?
Hi, You had dental caries of your lower tooth which lead to an infection. Antibiotic helps in resolving the infection but if the tooth is not root canal treated the infection will return. The tooth has to be root canal treated, and a crown should be placed over the tooth.
