Hi
I went to a high-class dentist in Cambodia for what I thought would be a standard filling, after a x-ray without them even mentioning a filling may do the job. They pushed me for a root canal.
Never had a root canal treatment in my life, only fillings
My question is why would they want to take the root out?
They didn't even comment, that I may have to have the tooth extracted , which I also thought may be the case with it broken on both sides and the gum starting to throb as it's a back tooth.
I'm not saying they are wrong but I'm very skeptical with them suggesting the most expensive treatment at first without any other possible treatments.
Any thoughts, please! Or should I get a second or third exam by other dentists?
Regards
