Root Canals

Crown

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.

Mandible is the lower jaw and maxible is the upper jaw.

You are going to have to have an injection whether you have the tooth pulled or root canal therapy. You really need to talk to your dentist to decide what is the best situation for your tooth. If it is just a case of a filling falling out though you shouldn't need root canal therapy but you might still need an injection for the repair of the tooth if the dentist needs to do any work to fill the cavity.

A dentist would probably tell you not to do that, but I've done it on a number of abscesses. If you want to do that, rinse your mouth with warm salty water a few times. Then put your forefinger in the canyon where your teeth end and cheek begins and push upward along the side of the tooth. You may need to do this a few times to clear the abscess. Rinse with warm salt water after doing each "treatment."

It could be reinfected. See a dentist.

The term given to the area at which three roots divide is trifurcation.

It totally depends on you and how you feel about losing a tooth as well as the financial aspects. I do have to say though check around with people you know that have had root canals because many people that I know have always said don't ever get a root canal as they have caused them many problems. Do a little research for both and see which would suit you best.

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.

The only way is to have a root canal or have it taken out. Both have to be done at the orthodontists. An infection in the tooth is very serious and should be taken very seriously as it could spread to the nerves of your tooth and cause pain to neighboring teeth etc.

Yes it is. Yes, it might be related to the fact that you have had your mouth open for a long period of time. It should go away after a few days.

Not normally as the taste buds are on the upper surface of the tongue, around the soft palate (roof of the mouth), the upper esophagus and also the epiglottis.

i am 12 years old i just had my root canal today. It didn't hurt bad they just nummed the area around the tooth it was fine. For a child the biggest factor is fear.

That depends how badly a person's tooth is decayed. That can happen at any age !

This just happened to me recently and what happens is that you will feel extreme pain and be in pain for at least a week or more. Tomorrow it will be a week since it happened and I still am in need of pain medication. I am unaware if there will be any long term damage but I do know that you must be on antibiotics because there is a good chance of infection.

you probably had tissue damage, but the dentist is not at fault because you had to sign or be made aware of HIPAA, it should go away but call your dentist and see what he recremends good luck and brush brush brush

My jaw was proped open too long and stretched and shoots... it hurt when I opened wide for youabout six months - it did eventually go away.

Sounds like an abcess... which will get worse as time goes on... if you leave it, the bacteria causing the abcess could cause you very serious problems. I suggest you go and get it looked at asap. Don't delay, your life could depend on it. Also the bacteria can eat away at your jaw bone if you've had it a long time, this can cause massive complications... Let me know how you get on... Try not to worry yourself, but i strongly advise you go get it checked out asap, don't delay... But good luck anyway and I hope I'v helped answer your question! : :o) Another Answer It could also be a pyogenic granuloma. It's not actually a granuloma, but if the bump's on/near the area where there's skin between your teeth, that's might be it. As with the first response, get it checked out.

Im not sure of the question but sounds like the doctor already removed the inerts of the tooth and placed a filling into the root. That is what a root canal therapy is. If you want to remove the root canal filling material and replace it with a more biocompatible material there are dentist that do that.

no its going to have dried blood inside until they fill it but make sure u put the gauge inside to keep the blood from spreading and make sure you get it filled up soon before it closes on its own or you're going to need it be pulled out (like me)

An endodontic treatment is another word for a root canal. A root canal procedure consists of the dentist numbing the infected tooth, then make an opening by drilling the area. The dentist will then clean out all of the decay and most of the time only partially complete the work. Patients will return in a few weeks to have the procedure finished.

The nerve can not regenerate in a tooth, instead what is left of it will eventually die. You would be better off having the root canal treatment completed and if it is a back tooth you NEED a crown on the tooth to prevent breaking the tooth in the future. The tissue inside a tooth cannot be regrown after root canal therapy. But you can keep your tooth all your life if the root canal is well done and well restaured, and if you brush your teeth well.

In the future, they may be able to harvest your own stem cells and implant the cells into your jawbone. This would heal or possibly regrow dead or missing teeth.

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.
