Q. Hi doc, i am from pakistan,my teeth needed braces so i visited a doctor here in pakistan.i haad n infected tooth infact molar n she said that x ray shows taht it needs pulpotomy,so she did it,after the treatment i starting feeling a lil pain,n sometimes it hurts a lil more but most of the time the pain is less.i visited her again n she now says that i need root caanl i dont want to undergo root canal i dont feel that my tooth was taht much infected,how can i find out that wether she has done some wrong to my tooth or it was already infected.

A. She should never have done pulpotomy on an adult tooth as if there is a nerve problem she should have done a root canal straight away.
pulpotomy procedures are only done on baby teeth unless in very rare circumstances
