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

My tooth cracked and had to be extracted after root canal treatment. Can a crown be fitted?
Monday, November 29th, 2010Would a apicoectomy help reduce inflammation following a root canal or is extraction necessary?
Friday, November 26th, 2010I’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?)
Can a tooth be completely numbed before a root canal treatment?
Friday, November 26th, 2010My 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.

Is it possible to have my crown removed to avoid damage when having a root canal?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010I have been having ongoing problems with a lower rt 7 which has been crowned with a white and now a gold crown. 2 months later sudden pain and sensitivity between the 7 and 8. Dentist is talking about root treatment by drilling through the crown. Can’t they take the crown off and replace after treatment.?
Should I return to the dentist if antibiotics have relieved my tooth pain but I am unable to put pressure on my tooth?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010Hi, I went to the dentist this week as I had waves of intense pain, ear ache and jaw ache, and medication wasn’t touching it. The dentist did an xray and couldn’t see anything wrong. My fillings that side looked normal, there were no tooth cracks either. However my wisdom tooth can be felt above my teeth and is inflamed. I have now been reffered to the hospital to have this removed. I was also given antibiotics. My question is, I am now 2 and a half days into my antibiotics and the very bad pain has gone, however I cant bite down as there is pain on one tooth. It’s so bad I cant eat as I cant put any pressure on it. Will the antibiotics clear this or is it something my dentist has missed? Should I return to the dentist before my course of Antibiotics is finished?
Has my root canal treatment failed?
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010I had a root canal filing end of February/early March. The tooth has remained troublesome and is intermittently painful to bite on which appears to be worsening and also painful after eating certain foods. I can also feel a sense of discomfort on touching the tooth when brushing my teeth and also there is a certain degree of facial pain/ache although no visible swelling.. Do I assume that the root canal has failed and if so what would be the next treatment required. Alternatively, is this just something that will settle down?
Does my tooth need to be extracted to get the nerve out?

I have a sensitive tooth. Should I have it removed?
Monday, November 22nd, 2010 I have tooth that has become very sensitive to hot and cold.
my dentist has suggested I rub sensodyne toothpaste.
How long should I continue this as if this does not work she has suggested I have deep root filing to have the nerve removed.
I had terrible experience some years ago when another dentist tried a similar thing and I experieced excrusiating pain.
Because of this i am more inclined to have the tooth removed.
Do you have any advice and are some aneathestics more effective than others?
