Can a tooth that was knocked out then replaced after a root canal be pulled out because it is now loose?
Yes, with a dental implant. You also have the choice of a bridge (if you knocked out tooth is not a terminal tooth) or a partial.
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.
What will happen if a cavity in one of your upper teeth goes beyond the root canal stage?
The tooth would be pulled and you'll need a type of bridge if the tooth missing is near the front. I had one of my upper teeth (next to the eye tooth) taken out and now have a bridge there and you can't tell the difference. It's not cheap!
How much does a failed root canal job cost?
Call the dentist that did your root canal or any current dentist. When the nerve dies the tooth turns grey. Then the tooth has to be pulled. Depending on where your 'root canal' is, you may need a bridge or implant. This was my experience. Cost would depend on the dentist fee and insurance consideration. Blessings.
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.
Can a root canal be done on a tooth under a permanent bridge?
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 if you hada root canal butt you still have a lot of pain?
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)
The dentist pulled your tooth with out telling you Can he do that?
NO, you need to know your options...could you have received a root canal to save the tooth...did he give you the option of an Implant?
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 know you need to have a tooth pulled and replaced with a bridge if it causes you no pain?
If I were you, I'd get a second opinion just to be sure. That is a lot of money. But if you had a root canal, it won't cause you pain until it's very infected down into the bone. On average it should cost you about 100 dollars to have the tooth pulled and about 1500 for the bridge. Most likely if you were told by one it needs to come out, it does, but if you aren't convinced, get a second opinion. There is nothing wrong with that. If it saves you a tooth for a few more years and over a 1000 dollars, it will be worth it.
What happens when your tooth rots underneath a crown?
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
How dothey close the gaps where teeth are pulled?
With a tooth bridge, that's done by capping the gap with another tooth and a cover for the teeth it's between. We paint it and make it look like a normal tooth.
