dentist very rarely like to remove teeth unless absolutely necessary.
By removing teeth not only does your smile suffer, but your remaining teeth will actually start shifting in your mouth. Save what you can, and remeber: prevention is the key.

A back molar can just be pulled depending on the amount of decay the tooth has. A root canal is typically used in only the teeth that show, its an outdated and expensive practice

Should you get a root canal on a baby tooth?
No. That would just be a waste of time and money. In many cases, you wouldn't even get a root canal on a permanent tooth. You would most likely have it pulled depending on what tooth it is. Just have the baby-tooth pulled since it is going to be pulled someday, regardless.

The top half of a tooth with a root canal in upper molar broke off is extraction mandatory?
You can just let it rot out. Or if it is restorable, get a post and a crown.
Do you need a crown if you have a root canal on a lower left molar performed over a bridge?
If you have a root canal done, most likely you'll need a crown. But if it was done through a bridge, there is already a crown on that tooth. A bride is just three or more crowns fused into one piece to replace a missing tooth. It is possible that doing a root canal through the brige will damage the bridge and the whole until may need to be replaced if that happens. But that's not common.
Is it possible to see your own cavity?
I recently noticed a hole in my back molar along with a bit of black stuff at the back of the tooth but not where the hole is located. There has been a bit of pain and sensitivity lately. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this could be considered for a root canal or if the took is decaying? Thanks!

If you have a root canal what kind of pain medicine do you get?
When I got my bottom left wisdom tooth pulled, and a molar pulled I left the dentist office with a prescription for 25 5mg percocet which I took 1 every four hours. Usually, they give you vicodin but I requested percocet because it is stronger. You can also request a non-narcotic pain killer which I have been told works just as good as the narcotic kind. Another option is to use over the counter medications such as Tylenol or ibuprofen.
You got 2 teeth pulled out how do you make the adult teeth grow back it?
If it was the first teeth that was pulled the adult ones will grow up there in time. You just have to wait. If it was the adult ones that was pulled nothing will grow back. You have no more teeth in that place.
Should you have your tooth pulled or do a root canal?
It really depends on the situation and preference. Both of these options are not a 100% fix. Pulling the tooth can cause complications where there is no supporting bone structure for the teeth beside the one being pulled. This can cause the teeth to shift and it also has a chance of changing your bite alignment. Also if you haven't had your wisdom teeth removed and for example you had a molar or premolar pulled then the wisdom tooth has room to push in and all the teeth between it and the one pulled will shift forward. This can sometimes cause complications, but also could save you spending a lot of money getting your wisdom tooth pulled as it will have the room to grow in place. If you wish to go for the root canal you will be looking at $800+ with no coverage and that doesn't not even include getting a cap or crown on the tooth. In addition there is no guarantee that the tooth would be saved. Complications can occur where the root gets fractured and there is no saving the tooth so you just threw all that money away. Personally in my experience if you come to the point where a root canal is needed, I suggest getting it pulled and save what teeth you can with fillings that aren't nearly as severe. And if you aren't to worried about your complexion in regards to fillings, I would go for one of the stronger fillings like silver amalgam. They can last anywhere from 10-30 years and they are a cheaper material.
How do you pull out a Molar?
Easy, just make an appointment to the dentist and ask them to pull out the molar so you won't have to know how to pull out the molar.
What can you eat after you get a molar pulled?
My ExperienceI had my rear molar yanked out today Feb 17, 2011 at the dentist's office. I went home and gargled with salt water for about two to three minutes to stop the blood, or coagulate it.Then by 1600hrs / 4pm i was drinking a soda and eating French Fries, at 1700hrs / 5pm I had several pieces of angel cake.So you see you can have just about anything as long as it's soft or liquid and you do you best to keep away from the site of the tooth that was pulled.
