there shouldn't be pain
Its is bascically a normal filing, except for the fact that a normal filing is when a dentist drills through your tooth and stops drilling before the nerve and then cleans the inside cavity and fills the tooth again. A root canal filing is when the dentist is required to drill all the way to the nerve and then clean the tooth, this procedure may become painful if repeatidly done as the nerve end gets damaged and numbing injections start to have less effect and you will then feel a bit of pain during the procedure. Root canals are only done when tooth decay has moved all the way to the root"nerve" of the tooth.
Yes they can, they did on me.
If your tooth needs a root canal and is not painful, then it must be a dead tooth. When a tooth is dead, it is a source of infection which is not good. It is possible that it could hurt in the future due to infection. Better to have the root canal done, because you're trying to save your tooth. If you don't have the root canal treatment done and your tooth continues to decay, the dentist might have to pull that tooth out in the future. Once you pull out your tooth, that's gone forever
Yes. I had a root canal done on one of mine when I was 10 or 11 and one on the other front tooth a couple years later, as the result of an accident.
A dental post is necessary when a root canal procedure has been done on a tooth that requires a crown. A build up is done on a tooth that needs a crown and has not had a root canal.
yes. The dentist can remove the bridge and then re-cement it after the procedure is done. as long as there is not a lot of recurrent decay, otherwise they would have to remove the decay and build the tooth back up and that would call for a new bridge. can root canal be done a tooth that is capped
what could have happened is that the root canal was not done properly, or the tooth was so damaged that the root canal did not work. In this event, the tooth may have to be pulled (its what happened to me about a week ago)
well.. it depends.. if the crack was in the crown.. then a prep is done then a fixed crown is placed.. but if the crack extended to the root.. then the tooth will be indecated for extraction.
3 (the source is my dentist, he just referred me to get my root canal done on 15th)
Yes, this is very normal I can't remember what my dentist called it but she says its when one tooth has something done to it, automatically all the teeth around feel the pressure and strain. I had 4 root canals last week and at first I thought they had done a root canal to the tooth behind it also because it hurt so bad and all the sudden felt loose. They told me nothing had been done to it and that was perfectly normal and after like 2 days it went away.
The decay starts to grow and spread into the denten which is where the nerve is located causing one to then need a root canal. If the tooth can be saved a root canal is done, the tooth is built up and a new crown is placed over the tooth. if the tooth cannot be saved then it is extracted and replaced by a bridge, implant or a partial
One. Had the same tooth (#10) done today. the canal was calcified, and the procedure took an hour. The dentist said I did not need the shot to numb it.. but had him do it anyways. Glad i did. More drilling and filing , and probing than expected, because of the calcified canal. It was a successful.
