What's your question: Lucky you! Your dentist spared you the excruciating pain of an abscessed tooth. This is why we're always telling folks to get checkups and X-rays.

Your question is?: How fortunate your Dentist spotted your infection before it became painful. Treating it now prevented spread of infection to other organ systems.

OK: Not sure what your question is. No question asked. If you think you need to be in pain to need root canal therapy, you're mistaken. High blood pressure or diabetes doesn't hurt, but you still need medical care. Same thing goes for your situation.
