No, a root canal infection cannot fix itself. Without professional treatment, the infection can worsen, leading to severe pain, abscess formation, or even tooth loss. Prompt care is essential to save the tooth and protect your health.

If you need a root canal or retreatment of a previous root canal due to infection, then you'll need to have additional treatment. They do not self resolve.
No it cannot. Antibiotics may make it better if it hurts but will only be a temporary solution. A new root canal is needed to get rid of the infection, and it is recommended to be done by a specialist called an Endodontist. Dr. Totonchi
No, if the canal space is infected it MUST be treated. You can have a root canal treatment or have the tooth extracted.
