Decay between two tooth
I am suffering from tooth decay. And doctor suggested to root canal.I want to how much root canal is effective.
If pulp(nerves& vessels of tooth) infected, than root canal or tooth extraction is the last option. But if possible to save the natural tooth. Root canal is the best option to save tooth and it is a very effective treatment.

Dear user,
RCT or root canal is very effective in saving tooth followed by crown.
If your dentist suggests RCT , that means the infection reaches the tooth's pulp and in this situation either you have to go for RCT or extraction of tooth.
