Root Canals

Yes

sharp pain from that tooth, especially if you wiggle it, pain into your ears, swelling. A root canal is painless compared to tooth pain of an abcessed tooth. An abcess is a serious dental problem, that needs to be professionaly treated, right away. If it is NOT treated, you may develop a serious blood stream infection, that may lead to permanent dmage to your heart, your brain and your eyes. A systemic blood infection may even lead to death, if un-treated. Treatment will include a 7 to 14 day course of multi spectrum anti biotics, to kill the infection and reduce the swelling at the site of the infection, followed by x-rays of the site, to establish the extent of the involvement, in other words, what teeth are affected by this disease. Finally, oral surgery will be done to remove the affected tooth, or teeth, and possibly some jaw bone that had become infected as well. Replacement tooth or teeth will be in order, a few weeks after the surgery swelling goes down. A further course of anti- biotics, after the surgery will also be ordered. Do not delay treatment of this serious condition.

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!

A substance know as pulp and nerves

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.

Oil of Cloves is one of the best substances for relieving nerve pain from the tooth root. You need the kind from a pharmacy though, not a supermarket.

In the end though, a root canal is going to be your best option. If you let it go, you could wind up with a lot more damage, pain, and eventual increased costs to fix it if it gets worse.

Like the old saying, "There is no free lunch".

yes, of course you can.

because god is punishing you for doing a stupid thing. cause I am god. LOL

because the doctor said so

teeth have been shaped that way because of eating and how healthy your teeth are

Yes root canal procedure can be done under general anaesthesia in certain conditions where patient is highly uncooperative for the procedure.

Getting a root canal surgery can save you a lot of pain and save your tooth from falling out. But what about a root canal during pregnancy? One common concern of women with root canal infections and who are pregnant is the side effects of the consultation and the drugs used during the procedure.

Part of the original consultation procedure requires a series of x-rays to assess the internal structure of the tooth. An x-ray can give you dentist a better idea of where he or she will need to drill, along with the extent of the infection. It’s a critical part of the consultation process that should not be skipped. Women tend to worry that clinical x-rays will damage their fetus. Most of these fears are unfounded though. First of all, the x-rays are aimed locally at the mouth, not the abdomen. Second, most dentists will provide pregnant women with an additional lead vest for their peace of mind. In reality, a single lead vest is enough to stop a high percentage of x-rays. Doubling your coverage will only provide comfort but no real additional protection because you’re already protected.

Another worry associated with pregnancy is related to the chemicals used during the actual surgery.

The first class of chemicals is the local anesthetic. Women fear that the anesthetic will adversely affect the growth of their child. In truth, most shots are local and your dentist can reduce the amount used at the cost of more pain during the procedure. Anesthetics shouldn’t harm your child.

The irrigation fluid for the surgery is usually a low percentage sodium hydrochloride, or bleach. Even if you swallow small amounts, the other 95% of that solution is just water. The trace amount of sodium hydrochloride you may swallow is neither significantly dangerous nor potent enough to harm your baby.

The last chemical used in the procedure is the filling material. Most have a strange smell when applied. They can also have really bad tastes. However, most are just resins that cure with the treatment of a laser. They pose no danger to an unborn fetus.

Of course, the added stress of undergoing a dental surgery can have some effect on your child. Most patients are advised that if they can withstand the pain until after the pregnancy, it’s safer.

Consult your dentist about how long you can wait for a root canal surgery. Root canal and pregnancy can mix successfully under the right conditions.

The Dark spot on the xray could be a number of things. i hope it isn't a lower premolar, because it could be the mental foramen. Anyway. If you still have hot/cold sensation it is a sign that the tooth is vital. ie the nerve still works. If you are having symptoms of discomfort. aka PAIN. then the tooth may have irreversible pulpitis. The Dark spot is a sign of abscess or inflammation. But could be an artifact or something else. The use of a cold test or EPT would give a more definative evaluation as to the vitality of the tooth in question compared to the others.

If it were me. i would wait to see if it heals and get reevaluated every few months to see if there is improvement. If you're still unsure, another opinion from an endodontic specialist might be a good idea.

DDS PA is short for "Doctor of Dental Surgery, Professional Association"

An 86-year old does not need to risk the complications of root canals unless there is a very painful abscess, in my opinion. As for the magnetic dental applicance, I would forgo it and keep the real, although diseased teeth, unless they are causing severe pain.

To prevent any infection that may occur.

No not that much basically u will only feel a bit drowsy and maybe just some pinches ... Hope this helped ......

the best predictor is why you needed a root canal in the first place. if its due to trauma, success is extremely high. if its due to infection, success rates are a little lower. the root anatomy of the tooth also factors into success rate.

Yes- The University of Arkansas Fort Smith, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and I believe the Northwest Arkansas Community College offers some form of dental hygiene schooling but I would look into it for better information.

Trigeminal neuralgia affects the nerve that provides sensation to the lower teeth and tongue. Symptoms include sudden excruciating toothache without any pathology associated with any teeth. Trigeminal neuralgia can also occur without any teeth being present.
