I can only guess that my husband's original dentist didn't know what he was doing. Either the cavity was deep enough that a root canal was necessary from the start, or the cavity wasn't that bad but the dentist just drilled too deep and hit the nerve. I strongly believe the latter.

Tell me about these sealants. I don't want any more cavities. One is one too many.
