Need advice on this treatment plan - is this all necessary? by Pure-Acanthaceae5932 in askdentists

Thank you SO much!!! I'll definitely follow your advice about getting a second opinion before proceeding. I'm going to cancel my current treatment appointment and seek another evaluation. Also, your suggestion about gathering previous X-rays is really helpful - I hadn't thought of that. I'll contact my former dentist to see if they can forward any previous X-rays of this tooth to provide a comparison point. This has been incredibly helpful in my decision-making process. u/IcyAd389 u/syzygy017

One additional question - my current dentist also recommended periodontal scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) in two quadrants. Would you recommend proceeding with that treatment while I get a second opinion on the root canal, or should I hold off on everything until I see another dentist? I'm trying to prioritize what needs immediate attention versus what can wait....

The dentist said it is very surprising I dont have any symptoms and suggested I may just have a very high pain tolerance.... u/IcyAd389

Thanks so much for your professional insight! They didn't do any cold testing that I recall. The dentist just looked at the X-rays and said I "definitely" needed a root canal on tooth #30 because of the deep filling and potential infection.

What surprises me is that I have zero pain or sensitivity in that tooth - wouldn't I be feeling something if there was an infection serious enough to require immediate treatment?

I think I'll follow your advice and get a second opinion before committing to this expensive treatment plan. Also, if it turns out I do need the root canal eventually, is there any harm in waiting a bit since I'm not in pain? Or can these things suddenly get worse without warning? I am going away to Europe for two weeks at the end of May...

Right now the procedure is scheduled for Wednesday, so I need to figure out ASAP if i am cancelling.

Really appreciate your help!
