Can I have my tooth removed under general anaesthetic in hospital?
Q.
Hi
i have an oversensitive painful tooth due to a large filling hitting the nerve. my dentist (private) has attempted root canal 3 times but is too painful. the last time he used sedation, which did not work at all. he says the nerve wont go numb as it is sensitised, so will hurt for root canal or extraction. i cant bear being in pain any more, can I ask to be referred to my local hosptital for extraction under general anaeshetic as it seem it will never go numb with local and I cant go through with an extraction without numbing. thanks

Yes it might be worth considering this or to see a root canal specialist, they may have more experience on numbing very sensitive teeth

I now have a broken tooth and have lost the filling which started after the initial supposidly root canal treatment I had a couple of years ago. Recently, it has now got the point that I cannot physically eat or sleep due to the severe pain and swelling. But I am also absolutely terrified of going to the dentist, so I am in a catch 22. I really would like to find a dentist or hopsital that will offer a general so I can have the tooth removed as soon as possible. I have previously tried sedation but that really isn’t the same.
Part of one of my molars has broken off. I want to know the best solution to dealing with that. It doesn’t need to look especially pretty as it is not seen. However, my main concern is I don’t trust crowns, having had a relation develop cancer in the direct area of a crowned tooth. So I would be grateful if you could advise me on the best and least invasive treatment, which will leave the tooth in the best possible condition.
It might take a filling if not a porcelain inlay might work best.
