RCT alternative
I have severe tooth ace since 3 days. Doctor x-ray'ed and suggested root canal or tooth removal, preferred RCT. How long can I safely delay RCT of my aching tooth. As a temporary pain reliever doctor had applied small medicated cotton at the place. Is there really no option other than RCT

Root canal treatment is the best option for saving the tooth.  Don't delay ur treatment. Delay in treatment causes increase in the  infection. Regards Dr Priya Aggarwal
