Hi, i have dental issues , my upper left side of the jaw has teeth no 4&5 on which RCT is in progress since march 2023. it was very painful for tooth4 and mild for 5, so i changed dentist on 1 may and new dentist took full month of may to do RCT for 4 & 5 again. now pain has disappeared in 5 but remains in 4. the new dentist says that there is a pocket between 4 &3 and i have copy of xray that shows that. i m not sure this dentist is telling the right reasons, as some other dentist says that condition of 4 is so bad that filling inside it is visible from outside and extraction is last resort.. my question is what should i do? protecting a tooth at all costs is more important or shall i go for extraction.

Ans: Hi
Sorry to hear that even after two months your RCTs have not been completed to your satisfaction. There could be a variety of reasons why this is happening. Despite the impressive advances in Dental treatment procedures we still see some cases that are untreatable. And while we spare no effort to save natural teeth, in some cases extraction becomes unavoidable. What is important is that you get complete relief from pain/discomfort. Whether to extract it or continue with the treatment is a call you have to take in consultation with your dentist.
