Visitor asks:
Hello.
Next week my dentist will be removing the nerve from my lower second molar. I would like to know whether this hurts, whether the nerve is removed without anaesthesia, or whether an injection can be given.
Thank you for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the tooth is still vital (alive), the procedure must be performed under local anaesthesia. In this case the process is painless. If the tooth is already non-vital (dead) and treatment consists of removing remnants of dead soft tissue and bacteria from the root canals, the procedure can be performed without anaesthesia and is likewise painless.
Have a nice day.
