Thursday, January 13th, 2011My nerves in my gums are unresponsive to anaesthetic and I am due to have root canal treatement, what can be done?
Thursday, January 13th, 2011Since having stents in my heart 4 years ago, the anaesthetic used does not last long enough to keep nerve numb. i.e. works quick and goes quick, therefore dentist tops up with small amounts left in syringe.
I’m about to have (strong possibility) root canal treatment. Dentist had to stop, temp. filing given. Said she could ‘see’ nerve. Problem was only picked up after an X-ray, up until then tooth had looked fine.
Q: Is there anything you can suggest to help keep the nerve numb?
P.S. I’m a nervous patient which doesn’t help.

Can an extracted wisdom tooth be used to replace another?
