Do you think I need root canal treatment or should I just have the wisdom tooth extracted?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

I had a wisdom tooth drilled two months ago for a small cavity (composite filling). The tooth has been sensitive to cold, heat, touch, sometimes just aches. About a week ago….I was much better without those symptoms but this week the pain has returned. Should I give this more time or does this look like a root canal, extraction? Are there other options besides RC and extraction?

A.
Not really, if its a wisdom to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is tooth extraction my only option if my tooth is infected after a filling has come out?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010
Q.

Hi, I am hoping you can help me. Approximately 7 years ago I had root canal treatment on one of my bottom molars and this was then filled up, a crown was never advised. At the weekend, the filling has come up and I have been in pain. I have had an xray today and it shows that I have an infection which I have antibiotics for and the dentist is suggesting I have the tooth pulled out rather than a crown. Is there no way the tooth can be saved?

A.

I went to a private dentist and have realised what a bad job my previous NHS dentist did. What can I do?

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
Q.

Hello,
I have just been to a private dentist today to enquire about getting my teeth whitened I decided to choose one of the best in Aberdeen (Fergus & Glover) they took one look in my mouth & cant believe how bad an NHS dentist has left it after getting treatment & X-ray done only 1 month ago, they said i need root canal on my front tooth and is surprised its not infected yet & also I have a massive hole in the tooth at the back? So i have any rights against an NHS dentist for leaving me like this and now leaving me with a massive bill that i will have to know pay to go private as i no longer trust the NHS? Thanks

After an x-ray I was told I will need root canal treatment and have been referred to a specialist. Why is this?

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
Q.

I have recently been told, following routine xray/check-up, that I need root canal treatment for a front upper tooth which is part of a bridge.
She said even though I am symptom free I may be ok for 1 or 10 years but this needs doing.
She also said I need to be referred privatley as she does not have the equipemtn due to the bridge involvement.

WHY?

My tooth cracked and had to be extracted after root canal treatment. Can a crown be fitted?

Monday, November 29th, 2010
Q.

I have had RCT on UL6 and was left for 6 months until any other treatment (check up) Just a week before my appointment, this tooth fractured and resulted in being extracted. Would the length of time this tooth was left, in a brittle state, be the reason this fractured? I had finished antibiotics 2 weeks prior to RCT so would infection be reduced? Would a temp crown be fitted in all RCT cases? Thankyou

Unfortunately this is one of t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would a apicoectomy help reduce inflammation following a root canal or is extraction necessary?

Friday, November 26th, 2010
Q.

I’ve had two RCTs from the same endodontist and in both cases, the pain remained. X-rays are fine. second opinion agreed. He will not redo the RCTs, only extract. I saw on the X-ray that sealand had leaked. Would that cause inflammation? Would an apicoectomy help? I face losing two teeth. also, is tooth ache after three days normal post-op (after two relatively pain free days?)

A.
Yes 2-3 days post op pain is n… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can a tooth be completely numbed before a root canal treatment?

Friday, November 26th, 2010
Q.

My dentist says I need some root canal work on a tooth that aches when I eat. She had drilled out the decay, nearly down to the root, but it still hurts, hence the root canal work. I had 1 injection for the filling, but I still nearly had to ask her to stop, as the pain was so bad. (My last dentist used to give me 2 injections for a filling, & it still used to hurt). I really dislike the idea of root canal work, can the tooth really be numbed enough for this work to take place? Any help would be much appreciated.

A.
Yes it can but it can be diffi… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
