A comprehensive dental examination, including X-rays if needed, is required to evaluate the condition of the tooth and determine whether it can be preserved with root canal treatment or should be removed through extraction.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Modern root canal treatment is generally comfortable because local anesthesia is used to numb the area. Most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure.

Can an infected tooth heal without treatment?

No. An infected tooth will not heal on its own. Without prompt treatment, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues and lead to more serious oral health complications.

What happens if a tooth is extracted and not replaced?

If a missing tooth is not replaced, neighboring teeth may shift out of position, causing bite changes, difficulty chewing, bone loss, and long-term effects on oral health and jaw alignment.
