I have the opposite problem of many people. My dentist is telling me NOT to
get a root canal just yet.
I got a deep cavity filled in a lower molar, had a partial crown put on
and
now get occasional throbbing discomfort (not yet pain). He said that the
cavity, while deep, had not reached the pulp yet.
However, doesn't the throbbing discomfort suggest a pulp infection? But
if the cavity had not reached the pulp yet, how could it get infected?
What could the throbbing discomfort be due to after a week, if not
infection? So many questions!
In any case, the dentist said to try fluoride treatments first. So my main
question is, does this kind of situation ever correct itself, or is my
dentist just delaying the inevitable root canal?
Thanks for any feedback.
Look root canals in archives.
That will answer all of your questions.
