Visitor asks:
Hello,
because of pain in a tooth, my dentist opened the tooth (first molar) and discovered that a lesion had developed all the way to the bone. She said that unfortunately the tooth could no longer be saved and would need to be extracted. For this reason I would like to hear your opinion as well: is there any way the tooth can still be saved, or is extraction the only solution?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on what you have written, I believe the root furcation at the floor of the pulp chamber is affected. Such a tooth is very difficult to restore permanently. For a more precise answer, I would need to see the X-ray and the tooth itself.
Have a nice day!
