Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a lingering toothache in the lower left central incisor. Are there any problems with the pulp of that tooth?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please be calm. Thanks for the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). See, it seems to be internal resorption in one of your teeth that is left central incisor. The teeth are showing dilaceration also. I suggest you get RCT (Root canal treatment) done for the left central incisor. Since you are young now so chances are there that the teeth may get uprighted.

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
What is RCT, and what do you mean upright?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Please do not worry. RCT means root canal treatment. It means the pulp of tissue is removed. And they were filled with gutta-percha and zinc oxide eugenol. This procedure is painlessly done under local anesthesia. If you can see the x-ray, your teeth are tilting towards the center; uprighting means they get straightened. I was mentioning your age because at this age body undergoes structural changes, so you can wait for some time to get uprighted.
