after deep cleaning treatment, could it lead to root canal problem?

[kenny siu]

I had deep cleaning treatment half a year ago, the specialist said I had mild periodontal disease

After the treatment, I have got lots of ''holes'' between my teeth and I have been using interdental floss
every night

However, one of the hole at the back of my teeth, it likes to trap food, it is almost the only hole that will bleed every time I push the floss into it, I also feel painful

My question is
1. Is it likely to be root canal problem?
2. I never had root canal problem ， does gum recession or the ''hole'' increase the likelihood of getting root canal problem (because of the exposure of the bottom part of the teeth to the air)

Hi.

I don't know if the deep cleaning would be the cause of a root canal problem.

I'm concerned that the hole in your tooth/teeth may make you more likely to get cavites/root canal problems in the future. A hole can leave the tooth exposed to air and bacteria. Bacteria can cause infections, cavities and eventually root canal treatment if not dealt with properly.

I'd ask your doctor what they recommend to do for it. Maybe they can seal up the hole or something.

Good luck.
