Is root canal treatment necessary to manage a decayed tooth?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from a decayed tooth. How can I treat it?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
In such conditions, you must consult your nearby dentist for clinical and radiographical examination of the affected tooth to diagnose and check if the tooth can be saved by root canal treatment. If it would not be saved, then you have to go for removal of the same tooth.
I hope this has helped you.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
