Message: [QUOTE="LADentalclinic, post: 110771, member: 2575"] I would definitely seek advice from a dental professional and not someone with no dental experience. From your radiograph I can see that you have decay that looks like it extends into your pulp chamber. I also notice darkening around the tips of your roots which is also a sign of infection. If you're not experiencing pain, it may be because the pressure that builds up in an infected tooth can escape through a hole or opening in the tooth which you clearly have. If the opening is sealed pain and swelling usually occur. I've personally had a root can and see several patients daily who need them. They're not nearly as traumatic as people think. They just take a long time to do but you're numb so you shouldn't feel any pain. [/QUOTE]
