How to treat mild caries? Is root canal treatment necessary? When will the doctor apply root canal treatment? How long does root canal treatment take?

The decision about root canal treatment - endodontic treatment is made by the doctor when we are dealing with inflamed and infected pulp, and the reasons for such a condition may be various: deep cavity, repeated tooth treatment, fracture, cracked tooth. Also, trauma can damage the pulp if there is no visible fracture or crack in the tooth. If a pulp infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to complications. Your questions cannot be answered if there is no personal contact with the patient. It is not known what is the condition of your teeth and mouth. I suggest that you ask your doctor these questions during the consultation visit.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
