Visitor asks:
Hello! I do not know where else to turn for an opinion, but I have a major problem with the upper second premolar, which has no nerve and hurts for about four days every month. Since June I have been swollen three times and received antibiotics just as many times. Today my dentist told me that we would remove it, but I did not agree; I received an antibiotic and he sent me home. Please tell me what I should do, because otherwise I have very nice teeth, I clean them regularly and take care of them, and I expect my dentist to repair this tooth. Am I asking too much? Thank you for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The diagnosis is clear (chronic periapical periodontitis). The treatment options are as follows:
-repeat root canal treatment
-apicoectomy (if the first option is not possible)
-extraction of the tooth (if the second option is also not possible).
Have a nice day!
