Root canal treatment

2017-09-27 06:38:59
Good day doctor my front tooth has changed to yellow colour its because I fell down in my childhood ,so I have concerned one of the dentist he suggested me for Root canal treatment ..After starting treatment they said it is calcified so we cannot do RCT . They have referred to another hospital for metal cap .The second doctor has said that without root canal treatment we can't place cap, if we place only cap you will get infection within 3 weeks ..so what should I do?

Consult an Endodontist . They are specialized for tooth canal treatment . Only after completing rct a cap can be placed . And one can definitely be treated with a calcified canal .

Root canal treatment can be completed even for calcified canals. And it is right to say that it is better to put a cap only after proper root canal treatment is over. You can consult an endodontist and discuss the case with him for proper opinion. Alternatively you can post the X-ray of the tooth on Practo for an online consultation with a specialist. Regards.
