Root canals can and are done without anesthetic if a tooth is known to be dead. This can usually be determined *before* the root canal is started. To answer your question, if a tooth is dead and asymptomatic, you may be able to have the procedure without anesthetic but the main reason would be to avoid having a shot and hours of numbness, rather than to "see if you feel pain." I would see an endodontic specialist if possible.
It could be, but never let a dentist do a root canal without anesthetic, even if the nerve is removed there is still tissue there which feels pain. I know, I had it done by a dental student. She thought that because the nerve was removed (the week before) I wouldn't feel pain, and her supervisor thought she had given me a local anesthetic.
If the dentist was prepping the tooth for a crown, the tooth was not 'healthy'.
More than likely, the decay that necessitated the crown was closer to the nerve than was first realized, and when the dentist removed all the decay, the nerve was exposed and a root canal became necessary. This was NOT the fault of the dentist.
The fact that the nerve was exposed during the prep is actually a good thing for the patient. It would have been worse if the crown had been seated and permanently cemented in place and then the nerve symptoms became apparent. Then the brand new crown would have had to been drilled through to perform the root canal procedure or the tooth would have to be extracted and the crown would be lost as well.
As a patient, it is very easy to jump to conclusions and assume your dentist did something wrong when a complication like this arises. However, this type of unavoidable complication is fairly common. That is why your dentist is trained to manage the situation and perform the root canal as he did.
Your dentist did not 'cause' you to need a root canal. He simply revealed the fact during the prep, and it sounds like he handled it appropriately. You should appreciate the professional care you received under the circumstances instead of accusing him of causing you harm.
And yes, if his fee is $800 for the root canal, which actually sounds a bit low to me, you ought to pay it and be glad your dentist is competent enough to save a tooth that would certainly be lost without his skill.
What lessons do you need to take to become a dentist if you are going into year 10?
however, the research I've been doing on dentistry suggests that very high grades are needed in GCSE's. In college you have to take biology & chemistry and you can chooose maths or physics (maths would be a good option as i learnt from my work experience) - and in those you'll need a high AAB, ABB or AAA to get into dental school and then its 4-5 years at university.
No, crabs do not have teeth in the sense that most people think. They have tooth-like structures in their stomachs in a chamber called the gastric mill which performs food processing, just like the teeth in your mouth. Unlike your teeth, the teeth in a crab's gastric mill are not made of bone, but of a material called chitin, which is the same material that makes up most of a crab's shell.

How many hours a day does a dentist work in one day?
A dentist can be engaged in a variety of activities dealing with the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of different types of dental diseases. A dentist will see several patients by appointment and walk-in during a given day. These patients will often come in for a variety of different reasons dealing with the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of different types of dental diseases. A dentist will do a deep cleaning of the teeth and gums, removing plaque, bacteria and anything stuck in between the teeth that a simple brushing and flossing cannot remove. A dentist may also check for cavities and treat them by first drilling to remove the decaying part of the tooth, then filling it with dental amalgam such as resin, porcelain or even gold. Keep in mind that dentists choose the amount of hours they want to work.

How much Valium should you take before going to the dentist?
You should take no more than what is recommended by the dentist who prescribed the Valium. Under no circumstances should you take the drug without it being prescribed, and always let your dentist know how much you took and when. Also, make sure someone else drives you to and from your dental appointment.
What is the most painful experience you had at the dentist?
One time my dentist left the numbing shot in my mouth, and then he left the room for a good 15 minutes. He told me to hold really still and that if I moved, the needle would fall out and that he would have to re-poke me. I didn't move a muscle, but is was the longest 15 minutes of my life!! I had to lay there with a needle stuck in my cheek, propped up against my lips!

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for dentists.
All 50 States and the District of Columbia require dentists to be licensed. To qualify for a license in most States, candidates must graduate from an accredited dental school and pass written and practical examinations.
Education and training. In 2006, there were 56 dental schools accredited by the American Dental Association's (ADA's) Commission on Dental Accreditation. Dental schools require a minimum of 2 years of college-level predental education prior to admittance. Most dental students have at least a bachelor's degree before entering dental school, although a few applicants are accepted to dental school after 2 or 3 years of college and complete their bachelor's degree while attending dental school.
High school and college students who want to become dentists should take courses in biology, chemistry, physics, health, and mathematics. College undergraduates planning on applying to dental school are required to take many science courses. Because of this, some choose a major in a science, such as biology or chemistry, while others take the required science coursework while pursuing a major in another subject.
All dental schools require applicants to take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). When selecting students, schools consider scores earned on the DAT, applicants' grade point averages, and information gathered through recommendations and interviews. Competition for admission to dental school is keen.
Dental school usually lasts 4 academic years. Studies begin with classroom instruction and laboratory work in science, including anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry, and physiology. Beginning courses in clinical sciences, including laboratory techniques, are also completed. During the last 2 years, students treat patients, usually in dental clinics, under the supervision of licensed dentists. Most dental schools award the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). Others award an equivalent degree, Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).
Some dental school graduates work for established dentists as associates for 1 to 2 years to gain experience and save money to equip an office of their own. Most dental school graduates, however, purchase an established practice or open a new one immediately after graduation.
Licensure. Licensing is required to practice as a dentist. In most States, licensure requires passing written and practical examinations in addition to having a degree from an accredited dental school. Candidates may fulfill the written part of the State licensing requirements by passing the National Board Dental Examinations. Individual States or regional testing agencies administer the written or practical examinations.
In 2006, 17 States licensed or certified dentists who intended to practice in a specialty area. Requirements include 2 to 4 years of postgraduate education and, in some cases, the completion of a special State examination. Most State licenses permit dentists to engage in both general and specialized practice.
Other qualifications. Dentistry requires diagnostic ability and manual skills. Dentists should have good visual memory, excellent judgment regarding space, shape, and color, a high degree of manual dexterity, and scientific ability. Good business sense, self-discipline, and good communication skills are helpful for success in private practice.
Advancement. Dentists who want to teach or conduct research usually spend an additional 2 to 5 years in advanced dental training, in programs operated by dental schools or hospitals. A recent survey by the American Dental Education Association showed that 11 percent of new graduates enrolled in postgraduate training programs to prepare for a dental specialty.

Are dentists required to have CPR certification in Oregon?
The statutes and rules do not specifically state that it is a requirement to be CPR certified to obtain a licence. However, I would believe that if an anesthesia permit is applied for, it would be a requirement to be CPR certified. This requirement is probably buried somewhere in the anesthesia training requirements.

How much money does a child's psychologist make in a week?
Depending on your education and where you practice it can be $1,300 to $2,300 a week.
What certified test are required for a dentist?
you would need a bachelor's degree and a D.D.S., or D.M.D. degree (doctor of dental surgery or doctor of dental medicine). Now, if you want to specialize you have to go through a post-doctoral program (which lasts from 2-6 years). These are programs you'll take after you've earned your dental degree (however, keep in mind that these programs have limited positions available and are extremely competitive). Nonetheless, only 17 of 50 states require that you have a post-doctorate degree to practice a specialty, but you can't exclusively practice a specialized area of dentistry without post-doctoral training.
Why must a physician give the patient ample notice when he or she is withdrawing from a case?

Amalgam tray setup left to right?
depends on what is easier for you, or what your dentist prefers. Do you still use Tofflemires with the thin metal strips that tighten like a loop? It's been a long time (the 90's) since i was in dentistry LOL
First continue taking antibiotics, secondly if the root canal was completed you SHOULD NOT be having any pain at all. If your dentist does not know what else to do, you should search out another dentist that can help you. also if you are in that much pain that you need pain killers, something else could be going on. See another dentist as soon as you can, but stay on the antibiotics to be safe.
How many hours a week does a stock broker work?
Well, according to my boyfriend, who lives in NY and is a broker, he works from about 7:30am until nearly 7:30pm most days and 6 to 8 hours on Saturdays as well. This also doesn't count the dinners and 'business meetings' he is required to attend to make sales.
I live in a different state and have no idea if this is the actual amount of time a broker spends working.

Your daughter is 9 years she weight 104pounds and she is 4feet 11 inches is she over whight?
At that height and weight she has a BMI of 21 which, while healthy for an adult is slightly high for a child of her age (about the 92nd percentile). Your daugher is not dangerously overweight but is a little heavy. This isn't necesarily a problem -you certainly shouldn't put her on a diet- but you might want to talk to her pediatrician about helping her make healthy choices.
