I have a lower molar with a big cavity which requires root canal treatment and crown. Although the cavity is big, but there is no pain all along. I need the root canal and crown done to save the tooth. The endodontist wants me to undergo a treatment and filling (I guess it's cleaning of the tooth and then cover with a temporary filling) a few months before root canal treatment to see if the tooth will hurt after the temporary filling. It is like putting a test on the tooth. Of course, I need to pay additional amount for this procedure. My questions are :-
1) Is it possible that a tooth will hurt after the filling when there was no pain before the root canal treatment.???? And why??? 2) Is it true that when a big cavity is covered with filling, the tooth may hurt?? I'm very worried if the tooth will hurt after the root canal and crown.
Will appreciate if anyone who has the experience or who are knowledgeable on this, please kindly give me your valuable advice. Thank you in advance.
