Suggest Treatment For Growth Of Flesh In The Hole Of Tooth
i had a root canaling done 3years ago, and the filling fell out like after a year. The doctor said it wasnt a problem so i didnt get a new filling. And I was left with a hole in the molar with no fillings. And now i sort of felt like something growing in that hole and apparently i think a new flesh has been growing in it and its red. And i am kinda scared about it. Is it treatable?

Dear sir/ Mam,
I understand your problem.Root canal treatment is removing the decayed nerve and blood vessels from the root.once its done your tooth become lifeless.Thereeafter
You will not have any kind of sense ( pain or sensitivity )in that tooth. But to prevent chipping of root canal treated tooth its always advisable to get a cap or crown for it.since your tooth hole is opened for a long time without a filling or crown ,adjacent gum tissue would have grown into it , becoming red as you chew food particles on it.In rare case, the filling material even from root would have come out and the remnant pulpal tissue would have developed into a pulpal polyp ( painless growth of pupal tissue) .Whatever the reason for the growing tissue , its absolutely treatable.you may need a re- RCT if its pupal polyp or else just cut the gum tissue growth ( painless with lasers)and fill the tooth.Absolutely nothing to worry.
Hope your query is answered.For further queries please dont hesitate to contact back.
