Dear Sir/Madam,
last summer, half of a tooth on the lower left (the second-to-last tooth) broke off. My dentist told me that I had had deep caries and already then “predicted” that it was uncertain whether the tooth would be all right. Because of pain, I visited her at the beginning of May. She removed the filling and found inflammation. She placed Toxavit, but because of the pain I went to the emergency dentist, who reopened the tooth and placed medication again. My dentist has now already started cleaning the canals (three of them); two could be cleaned, but the third could not, so she placed medication again and scheduled me for another appointment. I would like to know whether every such inflammation already means a granuloma, or when can we say that it is one? I have read that most people have an X-ray taken, but I did not, so perhaps the dentist already assessed that it was not necessary? Otherwise my teeth are healthy; until now I really have not had problems, and I am 28 years old.
Thank you very much for your answer and kind regards.
