Sir. Last year I was advised by a doctor to remove the last tooth on the lower jaw (right side) due to infected tooth cavity. As per every one advice I have said ok & the tooth was removed therefore I am taking good care of my teeth, brushing twice a day. Good rinsing when I ate food. But recently feeling pain in my left side lower jaw as same last teeth to high where I can not eat food properly or brush at the side due to pain. So I consulted a local doctor and he said we have to go for root canal & I do not even know what is that meant to be. I do not even know what is best thing to do now? Need some advice. Can I go for the treatment or should I consult another doctor. For a better.

If you don't feel confidence in your doctor than you can visit another dentist but just for your knowledge root canal treatment is done when infection reaches at your vital part of tooth which gives nutrition to your tooth. If tooth ache is present than it means your vital part of tooth is infected and in future you can avoid this by regular dental check up. If dentist find any infection than it can be prevented by just restoration and rct (root canal treatment) can be avoided.
