I need to get a root canal in a molar at the back of my mouth but im afraid they'll drop the instruments down my throat will they drop them?
No you'll be ok, however go somewhere that does sleep dentistry. It is not a fun procedure if you are fearfull.
Can you go to the er for a root canal?
No. The ER will only give you a prescription for an antibiotic or extract the tooth. Root canals are time-consuming elective procedures that are not appropriate for the ER setting. Besides that, most ER physicians are not trained in root canal procedures, and the ER is not equipped to perform root canals. You need to go to a dentist office.
Can root canal be done after a tooth has been capped?
Not necessarily. It depends on the extent and depth of the decay or fracture. If the decay has reached the nerve of the tooth, a root canal is indicated. If the decay has not reached the nerve, a root canal is not generally required.

It can only be recommended by dentist. I would suggest please go to doctor and complete check up of the child as usually root canal is performed on adults.
Why does your tooth hurt that you had a root canal done on about 3 years ago?
Generally its not the same tooth that may be hurting, if the root canal was performed properly. You should go see a dentist to rule out other dental issues you might be having. Once the root is removed it is a dead tooth, no longer susceptible to sensation. A "root canal" procedure does not include the removal of a root(s), only the "killing" of the nerve down the center of the roots.
What is the treatment for infected molar?
If you get an infection after a root canal, its usually called a "failed" root canal. The dentist may try it again by re-filing the tooth and then repeating the process, or simply go for the more simple (and less complicated) procedure of removing the tooth in its entirely.
Is a patient usually charged full price to have an partially completed root canal finished?
This can go several ways. If you have the same dentist and they just did a partial root canal (sounds odd to me) and you are going back, then you could have paid for the full root canal so check. If not, then yes, you would only pay half. Some people also don't realize that if your dentist does something wrong with a crown, root canal then he/she shouldn't double charge you. Don't pay a second time in this case! - Because a root canal is expensive and it can't be taken back once the service is provided most offices require payment at the first visit. Many general dentists and some endodontists prefer to do root canals in 2 or sometimes even 3 appointments especially if there is too much infection present. The subsequent visits to finish the root canal should be already covered except for sometimes the permanent filling and of course the crown.
If referred by your dentist to go to hospital to have root canal treatment is it free?
Like the old saying, "There is no free lunch".
Will an abcessed tooth heal itself?
