Pain in right second lower molar
I experienced pain from right second mandibular molar from 2 year but condition became worse then I went to dentist 4 months ago as he said my second lower molar has no cavity and dental decay it seems good from above but in digital X ray it revealed that it is very close or almost touching inferior alveolar canal especially it's mesial root but no proper diagnosis result so I decided to go for cbct scan that why it hurting too much as I experience current sensation from that tooth what to do..

It depends on the type of pain and the precipitation factors of the pain (eg. Aggravated by certain food, time of day or just spontaneous, continuous etc). If the tooth is certainly not decayed, it's proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve could be a cause of discomfort. A thorough evaluation of the CBCT would provide a better understanding, all the same

It would be better if you can post the image of the X-ray or the cbct so that we can provide a more rational suggestion. But if the infection has already reached the level of the nerve, it should be treated immediately, preferably by root canal treatment or in the worst case, by extraction of the tooth so that your symptoms are alleviated permanently.
Regards.

Hello, If your tooth is sound and the radiographs and CBCT show the offending tooth in close proximity to the mandibular nerve bundle then it might be the cause for the pain.
Still many other things needs to be evaluated like is the pain in just the 2nd molar? Does the pain radiates to other teeth or areas? Do you feel pressure and numb feeling in the area around the that tooth?
Also pls get evaluated for pockets in the concerned area.
You can consult an oral surgeon for an expert opinion for your problem because if the nerve compression is causing the pain then most probably you will be advised an extraction of the offending tooth.
