Root canal infection

Tooth pain is one of the most common health problems in the Philippines. Yet, instead of saving the tooth through root canal treatment, many Filipinos choose to remove it.

My name is Carlo, and this also happened to me. A dental friend advised me to remove my infected tooth. When I consulted other dentists, they also suggested extraction. The reason? They said my bone level was shallow and the infection inside the tooth was severe.

But I started to ask: Is removing the tooth always the best solution? Or is it simply the cheaper option?

What Is Seen in This Case

The image shows a treated tooth with sutures placed on the surrounding gum tissue. The area appears reddened and swollen, indicating recent root canal–related surgical treatment or management of an infection at the root area. The presence of sutures suggests that the infection required surgical access, drainage, or gum repair.

This is a normal appearance shortly after treatment but requires close monitoring.
