A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Your questions, answered.
Does every toothache need a root canal?
No. Tooth pain has several possible causes. Treatment follows the diagnosis.
Will I need a crown afterward?
That depends on the tooth and how much structure remains. Ask about the final restoration as part of the overall plan.
Can I ask for a second opinion?
Yes. Bring available records and ask the team to review the proposed treatment with you.
