A member asked:
Lesion at the root of old root canal tooth on xray. one dentist said it looked like infection and one said it doesnt coz its on one wall only. no pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endodontist: See an .endodontist, a specialist who deals specifically with these issues. Just because you don't have pain does not mean you don't have a problem or that it doesn't need to be treated. Left alone, the lesion may expand, cause more destruction of bone, and loss of that tooth.
