What does blood in tooth root mean?had 1st part root canal.dr said blood in 1 root.no infection.wonder if could have healed in time.pain on/off 3mths.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vital tooth: It probably means the tooth was still vital, hence no infection. Pain for three months usually means root canal therapy is needed.
