A cavity that develops inconspicuously without symptoms of pain is usually a condition that does not cause pulpitis and does not require root canal treatment. If the caries is very serious caused by pulp necrosis, tooth decay without pain may require root canal treatment.
1. If the patient’s decay area is small and shallow, the damage is located in the enamel layer, in this case, the tooth is no obvious pain symptoms, usually do not need root canal treatment. Filling treatment can be carried out to remove the decayed tissues of the tooth, and then fill the cavity with artificial materials to restore the chewing function of the tooth.
2. If the patient’s tooth decay is more serious and repeated bacterial infections occur, pulp necrosis is formed. In this case, there is no obvious pain in the tooth, but the tooth is already pulp necrosis, so root canal treatment is needed.
When the patient has tooth decay without pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital stomatology department for examination, and the professional doctor will decide whether root canal treatment is needed according to the examination results.
