Tooth Decay
I recently got an x-ray for my teeth done, there is a tooth on my left-upper jaw (2nd from last teeth, I think we call it the third molar) with a bad decay. I do not feel any pain in the tooth yet. My question is, does it need root canal treatment or is filling enough? Please check the attached X-ray file.
