Carries in wisdom tooth
I had carries in 7 and 8 tooth in lower j
aw. 7 was restored by RCT last week and 8 th was repaired by removal of decayed part and filling. But even after 5 days I have continuous pain in 8 the and sensitivity. I am not able to eat even soft food from that side. Yesterday one dentist has suggested extraction of tooth . Kindly advice.
The x ray attached is before RCT
Hi! I would like to know the type of restoration you have in your 8th. Also, I would like to know what problem is more severe -- pain or sensitivity? Also attach a new x-ray (the one showing restoration).
Next Steps
Ask for symptomatic relief until definite treatment line is finalized.

According to this x ray diagnosis of your dentist was right. No. 7 needed RCT and very small filling in no. 8. Extraction of 8 is not advisable. Try to get an x-ray after RCT and filling. Probably filling in 8 is not done properly. It may require refilling.
