How do I know if my tooth cannot be saved?

Only a dentist can make that determination through a clinical examination and dental X-rays.

Can a root canal save every infected tooth?

No. If the tooth has extensive structural damage or insufficient bone support, extraction may still be necessary.

Should I wait if my tooth pain goes away?

No. Pain that disappears may indicate the nerve has died, while infection can continue spreading unnoticed.

What happens after a tooth extraction?

Your dentist may recommend replacing the missing tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or denture to restore function and appearance.

Is removing a tooth always the last option?

Yes. Dentists generally recommend extraction only when restorative treatment is unlikely to succeed.
