What can you not do after a root canal?
After a root canal, it is highly recommended to put a crown on the tooth. After putting the crown you can eat anything u want but do not forget to brush twice a day. If you didn't put the crown even then you can chew things but not very hard.
Should i have an Extraction or a root canal?
In all honesty, even after all the health considerations, it may not be worthwhile to you financially to have a root canal. I spent almost 2,000 dollars on having a bio-calyx type root canal treatment and porcelain crown. The crown broke after three years and the tooth itself was never cured of infection. So now I still have to pay to get it extracted and will try using a flipper or partial for now (until genetic therapy comes along if it does). In all I have had 4 root canals costing near 5,000 dollars and have kept none of the teeth. In the meantime I believe I have put my health in jeopardy as a result. That is not to say that one cant have root canal teeth and be symptom free, but to me it is a health risk that might catch up to you eventually. bio-calyx is a root canal filling material you should avoid. It is considered a banned substance and has been proven to expand upon setting therefore splitting a root! Root canals are a viable option in saving a tooth, and if you ever need a root canal, you should make sure you have it done by an ENDODONTIST (a root canal specialist) who will do it right the first time.
Can you fly the day after having root canal treatment?
I was told by my Destist (endodontist) if the tooth that the root canal was done on was built up properly there should be no problem flying, my endodontist knew I was flying on a plane the next day I heard her say "were going to go ahead and put on a permanent filling" but she told be to get a crown done within 2-3 weeks.
What is a crown build up?
A crown build up is done when a person's tooth needs a crown. Usually cause my a large filling breaking or a tooth is broken. Once a tooth is more filling then natural tooth they usually want to put a crown on it. The tooth needs to have a solid foundation in order to support a crown, therefore they have to use special material in order to build the tooth up and prepare it for a crown. Also after any root canal, the dentist will want to put a build up in as teeth become very week after a root canal.. This ensure that the tooth is strong enough to support a crown.. Hope this helps
If you had a Root Canal approx four months ago Can you still have the permanent crown put on?
Absolutely. In general, it's best to have a tooth that's had root canal therapy, especially a posterior (back) tooth, crowned as soon as possible to avoid having it break or fracture. Failing to do this could result in loss of the tooth.
Should you have your tooth pulled or filled?
Possibly a root canal. Or he could put a false half on it. Dentists NEVER "glue back on" the other half. If it is a small "chip" most likely a filling will do it. A larger break will require a filling to make the tooth "tooth shaped" again and then a crown. A root canal is only needed if the tooth had large decay causing the break or if the nerve of the tooth is damaged or exposed.
You are looking for a good dentist near progresso or across the border near mcallen tx?
I went to Dr. Xavier Aguirre in Nuevo Progresso and was very happy with the results. It cost for a root canal, didn't need a crown. My dentist in Dallas wanted to do the root canal and a crown for . The Dr. explained everything in detail. I felt I received much better treatment with Dr. Aguirre than any U.S. dentist I've gone to. www.draguirre.com But watch out, because most of the times when you do a root canal you would need a crown to preserve the tooth and make it solid. If you cannot afford the crown, that is understandable, but if you could, it is very recommended that you put one on your tooth.
What happens if you do not get a crown after root canal?
The reason why we dentist recommend for a crown to be placed in a root canal treated tooth is because the tooth tends to get fragile or more brittle after the treatment, as a lot of portion of the crown is lost during the procedure and as it cannot withstand masticatoryforce which is applied to a tooth during the process of chewing and tearing food and in case of the anterior tooth it is not esthetically acceptable also so we advise a patient to get a crown placed after a root canal treatment
Is it possible for a dentist to do a root canal pain free?
You can elect to be put completely under during a root canal. You will have some pain once you wake up.
I had apermanent crown put in September 09 and it still aches up in my jaw ocasionally ...its been 2 months...is this normal?
Not usually. The bite may be off, in which case it is just a matter of having the crown adjusted. It may also be that the tooth may need a root canal.
Should you pull a first molar if it has a large cavity?
it depends how deep is your cavity .if the cavity is under your gum there are few chance to keep it because to do a root canal or put a crown is necessary remove all cavity and is contraindicated if your cavity is under your gum or close to the root. If the cavity is too big, sometimes there is nothing that can be done and the tooth has to be extracted. But a first molar is a big tooth that is important for chewing. If you lose it, it will affect the other teeth. Therefore if there is anyway to repair the cavity, by either a filling or a root canal, it would be the best option.
Having pain 5 days later after root canal and crown put on is this normal?
Experiencing some discomfort or mild pain after a root canal and crown placement can be normal, especially within the first few days as your mouth heals. However, if the pain persists beyond a week, worsens, or is accompanied by swelling, fever, or pus, it may indicate an infection or other complications. It's best to consult your dentist to evaluate your symptoms and determine if any treatment is needed.
