My husband had a tooth that was causing him a great deal of pain for over a year. Throughout that time, I would periodically remind him that it was likely going to result in a root canal if he did not have it checked out. As I had warned him, he ended up dealing with a terrible toothache and had to make a trip to an emergency dentist. However, the emergency dentist only treated him with a crown<\/a>. Should he have had a root canal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Karen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many causes of tooth pain. A cavity, cracked tooth, infection, and numerous other problems can cause pain. Typically, when the decay reaches the center of a tooth, or is near a nerve, it causes the nerve to send signals of distress in the form on pain or discomfort. They can also be necessary if a tooth becomes infected or dead. Needless to say, tooth pain doesn\u2019t always equal a root canal, as different causes of pain need to be treated in different ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergency dentist<\/a> should have explained the diagnosis to you, so you knew what was occurring and why. If he failed to do so, you could call the office and find out exactly what was wrong with the tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something else to learn from this experience is that you can\u2019t waste any time when it comes to tooth problems. The quicker a problem is addressed, the less treatment is typically needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
