What is the best way for root canal treatment?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Two years ago I went to the dentist for my regular scaling and check up. My dentist told me I had a cavity and thus would need a filling. I got my scaling and my filling done that day. He then told me to come back if I feel discomfort in my just-filled tooth (which I thought was weird because fillings aren’t associated with post-procedure pain). My tooth did hurt a bit, but I thought I’d survive, so I didn’t go back to my dentist for about a year and a half. Now (it’s been 2 years since I got the filling) I find myself getting a root canal. Can I please know exactly why my tooth got so sensitive, when, before the filling and discovery of the cavity, my tooth was absolutely fine (feeling wise). I feel as if the dentist I got my filling from did something wrong. That tooth was sensitive to hot and cold things from time to time, but I could survive. Was is a good choice to have got a root canal anyway? I am regretting having done this, and now I’m wondering if I really needed it. Thank you, Jessica

Q.
Hi. im 26 and at the moment im having some real problems, that is really making me very depressed. last year i was asked to be referred so i could have fixed braces as i was having alot of pressure in my mouth which i was told was due to a over crowd. i was fitted up braces but im a full time student at university and have two young children, i cant afford to have these braces as much as i want to. i have noticed these past few month that my teeth are pushing forward which is causing me a lot of pain, my bite has changed and im now having to hold my jaw at an angle due to this. is there any way i could get any help with having these braces fitted? or would i be able to have them on the nhs? it is really ruining my life at the moment and affecting everything that i do. i have constantly got aches and pains in my mouth, my teeth feel so tight has they are pushing with no where to go, and it also causes headaches and pain at the top of my neck. im at my wits end with it. if u could help me it would be great.
