Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a problem with my lower right first molar. During a visit to my chosen dentist three days ago and after an X-ray of the tooth, it turned out that the tooth is completely healthy, but the bone tissue of the jaw beneath the tooth, between both roots, is affected, while the roots themselves also appear healthy. He treated the slightly inflamed gum for 2 days with a medicated strip and says it is now fine. The pain due to the damaged bone tissue is quite severe and I would not like to wait too long for the necessary procedure. What do you recommend? What would the waiting time and the price of the procedure be with you?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards!
Bojan
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on what you have written, it is very difficult to determine what the actual disease condition is and therefore what therapy is appropriate. If it is localized periodontal disease (a deep pocket next to a vital tooth), only curettage of the pocket and scaling and root planing of the root surface within the pocket would be required. For all other information, I would ask you to visit our practice (04/5300660).
Have a nice day!
