Talk to Dentist on Tooth Decay And Cavity In Molars
Asking For Self, Male 23, Jhelum
One of my right molars has been decayed badly as I have been ignoring its pain since quite a while now. Another of my left molars has also been started to decay as it has cavity that is worsening day by day. It also bleeds, which usually exacerbates at night, without any pain though. Having said all that, I have now decided to go and visit a dentist. I, therefore, request dentists on this forum, to give a brief insight as to what the usual treatment for decayed tooth really is? How many sittings does it actually require? And is root canal the only option for it? Is root canal painful? And if it is, will the doctor anesthetize me before doing so? Prompt replies are appreciated.
Dear concerned
worry less plz
stress can make things go really bad
depending upon extent of cavity treatment is decided
anesthesia is must for deeper cavities
once effective pain is almost not there
RCT is for teeth where it cant be saved by filling
sittings are usually 3 to 4 depending upon infection status
dear patient, read ur complain
visit ur nearest dentist with an x ray name: OPG x ray
dentist vill see clinically & radiographically,then decide RCT ,extraction or any other treatment,.
not much, one of the tooth like canine dat makes the prominence of ur cheek n lip, but always go fr replacemnt option aftr extracting the tooth

It all depends upon tooth condition, which can only be confirmed after radiograph and proper examination.
Root canal can be performed in single sitting/visit, usually its not painful.Yes root canal usually done in local anesthesia.
after due assessment, your dental surgeon will explain you the whole RCT procedure. its done under local anesthesia and is absolutely painless.
RCT is a painless procedure until the consultant provide adequate anesthesia.
you should visit a consultant endodontist .
