Root Canals

Dying nerves (which I assume you've experienced, given the question) have a tendency of hurting. A lot.

Dead nerves have a strong tendency of getting infected, which then brings you down the root of Tooth Abscesses and root canal and general dental hell.

If your tooth nerve is dead, see your dentist. (S)He should remove the nerve and then fill the space left to re-inforce your tooth. Dead teeth also go dark-coloured. :(

They perform root canal treatments. Which is a procedure done for the pulp chamber and root canals of the tooth.In this procedure;tooth chamber and canals are disinfected from bacteria and cleaned from infection and filled with special filling designed for the root canals. القنوات الجذرية نوفمبر

This procedure can be done by the general dentist too.However, Endodontists are capable of doing advance cases and retreatments.

I dont know but when you find out, tell me. its been for days and i am still eating 'mush!"

When a tooth's nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed tooth. An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the end of the roots of the tooth. An abscess occurs when the infection spreads all the way past the ends of the roots of the tooth.

That depends on what type of dental work you had. If it was a surgical procedure, or if you were sedated for the procedure, then it would probably be best to wait a day or so before doing a heavy workout. And if you were sedated, or if you were given narcotic pain meds, DO NOT drive for the rest of the day.

In my experience the answer is yes. I have had three root canals and only one crown. Let me explain before you get excited. I had an uneventful, yet rather expensive root canal/crown combo shortly after having my son 8 years ago. Then I had another root canal done in 2/08. I had a temporary filling in place. I never went to get the crown done because it was too expensive and I had lost my dental coverage. Well fast forward to today and I had to get another root canal on that same tooth because it became reinfected and was throbbing painful. So while researching "how long until Novocaine wears off". I saw this question was unanswered and thought I could share my experience. I know the entire root canal/crown thing is really darn expensive but in my experience don't wait, 'lest you want to do it all over again.' By the way, the charge to redo my root canal was more, not less expensive the second time around. You better believe I am getting my crown right away this time.

I recently had a root canal done on a tooth that has been dead for about 20 years. I'm 36 now and decided its time for braces.never had any pain in the tooth,but in order to get braces a root canal needed to be preformed. Low and behold a few days later after the canal was completed I am experiencing sinus pressure on my forhead near the bridge of my nose, no other cold sumptoms,just pressure.I wondered if the two were connected and have been told by several people that it is a possibility.either way I will see my doctor tomm. and have her put me on antibiotics to see if it will get rid of this problem..hope this helps

There are so many things that could cause this. It can be a nerve issue that requires your neck to be popped, it could be a mild allergic reaction to a food or product you are using, it could be a mild case of herpes, or it could be a contact reaction to a texture (such as a man's stubble). It if is on-going see if you can relate it to anything you are doing/eating. If not, see if it relates to any tension in your neck. If the numbness come with a tingling sensation, and a slight redness then it could be herpes.

I got one recently and I am only ten and they don't hurt except for when they drill the whole and when they give you the shot! But other than that you will be fine! and if you are scared just think about when it is DONE!

If you have pain due to the broken crown, you can use Toofypegs. It works as temporary repair kit to replace lost fillings and loose crowns. For emergency use only, you have to consult your dentist immediately. Depending on the damage he will let you know if the he can replace the broken crown or you may need the new one.

actually it is due to treating swelling in mouth by antibiotics only.such conditions occur due to dental abscess where antibiotics given without incision and drainage or root canal treatment.

Depends on how severe the infection is. If very severe they can precribe at 1g every 12h

Hey there buddy,Ive been doing some research on this matter due to the fact that Ive had 3 due to bad molars that should have been pulled years ago. First, Ive read that sometimes the doctor will take a knife and cut you like they did to "rocky" for his eye. It basically lets the blood that's causing the swelling and most of the pus/infection to drain out. After that u should feel better and notice the swelling to go down in a few hours, say 6+. But as far as i can tell it wont because the cavity is causing the abscess the root of your tooth is probably already dead just spreading the infection. Ive also heard that they can cause heart problems and breathing problems if it speads to those areas. I guess it all depends on how long you have had it and done nothing about it. Ive had mine for over 5 years but the last 2 years have been hell. Also ive heard that if your tooth is that bad but can be saved, most ppl end up getting it pulled 5-10 years anyway because it rotted out so you might be better to just have them pull it. I know steak and tuff meats will be off the menu but theres always mac and cheese and noodles. Besides when we all get old i bet we will have dentures too most older folks have them and i know our dental habits are worse than theirs so go get all your bad teeth pulled, drop the 2-4k for all the work and get a head start on your new chompers.... don't end up like me and have no choice left but to get dentures, Im looking at 12 teeth pulled. 3 bottom molers on both sides, my 2 beaver teeth, the 2 next to the beaver teeth and then i gotta get 2 teeth laser cut out because they broke at the gum line.... theres nothing to grab on to to pull them out...THATS BAD!!!!!

It is possible to have more than one root canal treatment on a single tooth because some teeth do have two roots. The need for another root canal can occur within a few weeks of the original one or several years later

dentist very rarely like to remove teeth unless absolutely necessary.

By removing teeth not only does your smile suffer, but your remaining teeth will actually start shifting in your mouth. Save what you can, and remeber: prevention is the key.

It should be perfectly okay depending on what has to be done to that particular tooth. Ask your dentist for a referral to an orthodontist (some orthos accept patients without referrals) and he/she should be able to answer all your questions during your consultation appointment.

Yes, teeth move with braces even if they have undergone root canal therapy.

Usually - yes. Today, dentists have advanced instruments and equipment that makes it possible to complete a root canal in one appointment. Not all dentists have these instruments in their office, and some choose to perform a root canal the way they were taught in dental school many years ago. These procedures can take two or more appointments.

You should also be aware that a tooth that has a root canal usually requires a restoration called a crown. This is because a tooth with a root canal will tend to get brittle and will likely fracture in the future. The crown will prevent this from happening. A crown usually requires at least two appointments, unless the dentist uses a Cerec crown mill in his office and the crown ins fabricated while you wait.
Yes. A root canal can usually be performed in one appointement, unless there is an infection, or other complications that require more visits.

Roots do not grow back once a dentist drills into the tooth and removes the pulp (the roots and tissue inside the tooth). After that, it is dead and it cannot grow back. Make sure that the dentist (after he fits the crown but before it is permanently sealed) does an X-ray of the tooth to make sure the crown that was ordered properly fits the tooth. Sometimes to the human eye it appears so, but an X-ray can reveal the tiniest opening, which can lead to a re-infection and necessity of the tooth to be pulled.
