I have big cavity filled lower right molar which recently is becoming sensitive to hot liquids. Reading other postings tells me I would need RCT. But how soon and urgently should I get it done? Can I wait to a point where pain gets alomost unbearable without risking more widespread infection or other problems. Right now, pain is NOT constant, goes away within 5-10 minutes and using a floss between the teeth also helps alleviate the pain. Money is the issue and hence my question about length of time I can safely wait.
