Do I Really Need a Root Canal?

Do you really need a root canal, or could your tooth be treated another way? In this video, Dr. Jinwoo Park at Hi Value Dental in Corinth, TX explains when root canal treatment may be necessary, what dentists look for on dental X-rays and during an exam, and when other treatment options may be considered. Patients often ask: • How do I know if I really need a root canal? • Can a tooth heal without a root canal? • Do I need a root canal if my tooth doesn’t hurt? • What happens if I wait too long to get a root canal? • Can a filling or crown be done instead? • Should I get a second opinion before a root canal? • Is it better to save the tooth or extract it and get a dental implant? The answer depends on the condition of the tooth, the dental pulp and nerve, the amount of decay or damage, symptoms, and what is seen clinically and on X-rays. A proper dental examination is important before deciding on treatment.
