[|Human|] I have been told I have Irreveriable Pulpitis by my Dentist, I did have pain but took Antibodics and I had like a boil on my chin, very hard, hot and inflamed it came to a head, my Dr. lanced it and in about two weeks it was back to normal, now I have no pain, but my Dentist has asked me to come back for necesary root canal or extration, is this necessary? would I be wrong in waiting until I had pain again? I am 90 yrs. old, but is good health . Thank You!  YYYY@YYYY ---please either give me an answer  now or email me at this address.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when there is any kind of pulpits it leads to infection in the apex of the tooth and causes an abscess in the apex, which leads to swelling as in your case. For this swelling you have to go for permanent treatment like root canal or extraction, so you have to go for it because antibiotics and painkillers are only temporary treatment. If you does not go for permanent treatment, this swelling can again reoccur. Hope it will help you.
