Root Canals

about 1 or 2 months.... sometimes more, but I would not risk it... mine fell out after 2.5 months out.... From my own personal experience: If you live in the U.S but received the treatment in Europe it may depend. I had to get one in Paris four years ago while backpacking; before and after the procedure the dental assistant persistently reminded me that it was only temporary and I had to get it replaced as soon as I got back to the States (probably five times so I took it seriously). About a month after the procedure I returned to the U.S. I had an appointment with my personal dentist who informed me that everything looked fine, but still referred me to an Endodontist (root canal specialist). The Endodontist told me everything looked great, it was exactly what he would have done. I would assume the quality standards vary depending on the country (or EU standards no clue). Sorry for the length but I felt a background on the situation was necessary.

As long as you can stand the pain without yanking the tooth out yourself! If you are taking antibiotics, the dentist probably wants some infection to be cleared up before he does the root canal therapy. He can also prescribe medication for the pain if he thinks you need it. My dentist always gives me a prescription for pain pills AFTER he drills. The one time I really needed it BEFORE, I used ambesol for several days. The next time I have pain while waiting for a procedure, I'm going to ask for the lortabs or tylenol+ because the ambesol left the tip of my chin numb for several weeks after i quit using it.

I think this a really good question, recently my 6 year old, visited the densist and he must have a silver crown ,on a tooth that will be visible when smiling. I asked the doctor about porcelain, the densist said that they only did silver on children with no explanation. So later in the day, my son said that he didn't want a silver tooth because that meant he had ate too much sugar and didn't brush his teeth. I thought that it was so sad my 6 year felt like this. I will more than likely check around for a densist in which would consider porcelain

Root canal treatment primarily addresses infected or damaged pulp tissue within a tooth, rather than directly treating bone loss. However, by eliminating the infection, it can help prevent further deterioration of the surrounding bone and promote healing. If bone loss has occurred due to infection, additional treatments like bone grafting may be necessary to restore the bone structure. Always consult a dental professional for a comprehensive treatment plan.

Best case scenario, the tooth will die, medium case, you will develop a very painful abscess and wish that you had taken the dentists advice in the first place. Worst case, the abscess infection will spread to the rest of your body and either make you very ill or in some cases has actually caused death.

More than likely what you see is something called a post. It was placed at the completion of the root canal to stabilize the filling.

Nothing will happen

If you can see it, it is IV, if not..it is III.

Yes:)

The "tooth root" is the part of the tooth below the gumline, connected by a canal to the anchor in the bone. The tissue that is within the tooth is lost by extraction, but there is also some nerve tissue in the base of the socket. In any event, these nerves usually atrophy, and any transplanted teeth will not have sensory connections.

The maxillae (right and left maxilla bones) have sockets called alveolar processes in which the root of the teeth are inserted.

My tongue has been numb for 3 weeks!! The dentist called the novocaine Silver novocaine. I am on meds. to help the damaged nerves and pain. I don't what to do at this point. i am afraid of this Dentist to finish the root canale
Novocaine usually wears off in 3-4 hours time
