Hello!
Last summer I suddenly developed unbearable pain in my lower right second molar. My dentist told me that I had deep caries and already then said it was uncertain whether everything would be all right with the tooth. She wanted to send me for an X-ray, but I told her I was pregnant. She nevertheless opened the tooth and began treating it with endodontic files; at the end she sealed it with a white medication and scheduled me for another visit in September. That was when I was due to give birth, so I did not return. Ten months have passed since the last visit, and the tooth remained open for that long. Because of pain I visited her again at the beginning of May. She sent me for an X-ray. The X-ray indicates Ko41 — pulp necrosis. She also told me that with her instruments she cannot reach the canals or that they are not patent. I am therefore asking you what I should do. Any advice would be very helpful. I would also like to know whether this tooth or its roots can still be treated, or whether I will have to go to an oral surgeon for extraction. Thank you very much for your answer and kind regards!
