I had a large white filling done 6 weeks ago to replace an old discoloured filling - purely aesthetic reasons, I had no problems with tooth. This morning the expensive white filling was removed as I have infection in the nerve/root canal, antibiotics prescribed & temporary filling done. Now deciding whether to remove tooth or proceed with root canal treatment. However, how did I get an infection so soon after treatment - did the dentist not 'clean' the cavity properlly before filling ?or can bacteria really enter the root canal via a new filling?
