How long can a cavity go untreated?

Hi, As per our observation, it should be treated as soon as possible; but can confirm more details once we see it.

I had a root canal and the area still hurts. Is something wrong?

Yes, it is normal to have little bit of pain for a few days post-RCT, as long as the pain keeps going down from the day of treatment.

Hope that helps.

My nephew has one tooth erupting and he is just 1 month old. Is it normal?

Infants start getting their lower front teeth (2) from the age of 6 months. I have seen kids getting their front teeth at age 1 year, too. I would not call it normal timing, but READ MORE
Infants start getting their lower front teeth (2) from the age of 6 months. I have seen kids getting their front teeth at age 1 year, too. I would not call it normal timing, but it would not be alarming to me either. I would not do anything and would wait for another 6 months. He might be delayed in his eruption cycle, which might be normal for him.
