Can I Have An Infection In My Molar Without Pain?

I had a dentist apt today and he indicated that I might need to have root canal surgery in a molar that has extended a bit beyond the other teeth and I am scheduled to have cataract surgery Jan 20th. Can I have an infection in my molar without pain? And should my cataract surgery be postponed?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as your dentist has advised you root canal treatment so there may be your tooth is carious or attrition or there may be presence of periapical pathology .

Dont postpone your surgery go for treatment of cataract then go for root canal treatment if you can manage your tooth problem .

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
