Root Canals

It is not uncommon for teeth to hurt after root canal therapy. What you want to watch out for - is increased inflammation (swelling), draining (geenish, whiteish, yellowish fluid) draining from the site. Very yucky taste in your mouth. If you have these - then you need to contact your Dentist ASAP as you may have an infection.

No. Your wisdom teeth were removed, not cut. A tooth is a bone just like any other. The pain you feel is the actual gum healing. You should be sore for a week or two. It's just part of the process. Try not to let anything get inside the wound.

Dry socket is a complication of a tooth extraction it means you lost the blood clot that filled the tooth socket after extraction and the socket becomes dry and leaves the jawbone exposed. When bone in the human body is exposed it is excruciatingly painful. This tends to happen with teeth normally on the bottom arch in the back especially 3rd molars where blood supply is not so great in comparison to other teeth although it can happen to any tooth. Dry sockets normally are caused by smoking after the extraction procedure which breaks down the blood clot and then any further smoking will prolong healing drastically. This is one of the most painful things that can happen in general dentistry and most women rate them as more painful then childbirth. A good 8-8.5 on a pain scale of 10. You do not one of these that's for sure.

Between 60% - 85% would be considered good coverage.

yes. i have it in my mouth as we speak.

Yes, but you may not want to eat anything for the first few hours.

root canal

Many times when the canal was deep and infected the dentist will use special files to widen the canal. This is essentially removing tissue from the tooth. this can cause the gums to be sore. Now if the root was not all removed you would feel pain in the exact tooth. thanks for reading.. Http://www.BrowardDDS.com is my Dental website.

yes

While only around ten percent of people who have had shingles develop postherpetic neuralgia, it is a very uncomfortable condition. While the duration of postherpetic neuralgia varies, it lasts from one to two months in most patients

Root canal treatment has become a common dental procedure. According to the American Association of Endodontists, more than 14 million root canal treatments are performed every year, with a 95% success rate.

This situation can present potential complications when trying to remove the tooth. It is not uncommon for teeth in this condition to break or fracture when attempting to extract them.

Often a surgical procedure (apicoectomy) can be performed, which removes the infected area. The procedure can weaken the remainder of the tooth.

After a contusion of the tooth, there can be temporary loss of tooth sensibility for a few days to several months. Pulp testing for nerve activity will be negative, even though the blood flow can still be intact and the tooth is vital. With a laser the blood flow through the tooth can be detected.

Yes.

After examination and x-ray films, your dentist will let you know if you are a good candidate for a root canal. Depending on your age, health status, etc. Most likely happens when the nerve of the tooth is decaying or becomes infected. you will be on antibiotics for a while until the infection clears. Then depending on above mentioned, it may take a few visits to complete the procedure. The first visit will be the touchiest of most. I'm not going to lie to you, it is painful even with anesthetic. However, after the main root is out, some teeth have several roots and canals. The next 2 or 3 visits should go well. Be patient with the appointments this procedure cannot be rushed. I am 66 and all my life have heard "horror" stories about the pain associated with Root Canal procedures. About 5 years ago I had to have one in a molar, and I am here to tell you that there was NO more pain involved than occurs during the injection of the local anesthetic!!!!! After the local anesthetic "wore off," there was no actual pain, only about 24 hours of a sensation of "pressure."I have since discussed this with a couple of dentists and have been told that most of the rumors of extreme pain with root canals is exaggeration.

That depends on how the person with the money spends it.

You can not grow a new tooth. All your teeth are present at birth. Your first teeth come in while you are a baby but your second teeth are all ready there as small 'buds" ready to form and come in as you loose the first teeth. As you know, your last teeth do not come in until you are 17-20. Because they come in last and you are older, they are called wisdom teeth.

Pyogenic granuloma and root canal are unrelated, and so are the treatments. One is not prerequisite to the other.

Smoking "anything" --- and that certainly includes marijuana, slows down (in some cases, dramatically) the healing process because of the tar and nicotine (and who knows what in marijuana). Also, the inhalation of any "smoking" puts pressure on the socket, further slowing down the healing process. Keep away from smoking for at least 5 to 7 days after surgery.

my friend had a root canal and it started hurting so he went to the dentist and his mouth was sore for 16 hours

If a root canal has been done properly, the tooth itself will never feel pain again. The root canal process removes all nerve tissue from the inside of the tooth. However, there will still be nerves surrounding the tooth located in the periodontal ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. These nerves feel pressure, and help you 'feel' your teeth when you bite down. After a root canal is done, you can still 'feel' pressure-type pain from these outside nerves if you bite on something too hard or break your tooth.

It's generally not advisable to put off a root canal for long, as delaying treatment can lead to increased pain, infection, and potential tooth loss. While some people may manage discomfort for a short period, waiting too long can complicate the situation and necessitate more extensive treatment. It's best to consult with a dentist as soon as symptoms arise to prevent further complications.

It depends some do it in 2-3 at around 45 mins or all in one for around 2 hours.
