If my tooth doesn't feel any cold on a pulp test, will i have to get a root canal & is it still savable?

Other symptoms?: Not feeling cold on a tooth is not an indication that you need a root canal unless there are other symptoms associated with the tooth. What is seen on an x ray is important.

Maybe and maybe: Cold is only one of the tests for vitality. The electric pulp tester is another. We also rely on the film or image from an x-ray to check for bone destruction. Clinical examination for infection is also done. You might need the root canal treatment. Be sure that the tooth is restorable with a good or better prognosis before getting the root canal done. Good luck.

Cold is not enough: Not reacting to cold is not enough to conclude that the tooth needs root canal. Testing with an electric pulp tester is more reliable. A tooth can be saved by root canal provided there is good, sound tooth structure remaining and the bone support of the tooth is adequate.
