A member asked:

I currently have braces on, is it possible to re-fill a tooth if you are experiencing pain with the braces still on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Ask your Orthodontic Specialist to coordinate treatment with your General Dentist. Services of a Root Canal Specialist, an Endodontist, may be advisable.
