Hi, I am in the middle of having root canal treatment. I am 28 weeks pregnant. The treatment was needed as it was badly inflamed. The nerve was taken out and 6 weeks later it has been cleaned and I have had antibiotics. My dentist says we will finish it when I have had baby as I can have xrays. However I am still having pain. It is not sore to touch, but I get twinges of fairly low pain all the way to a very strong pang of pain in it which radiates slightly up my jaw. Should I go back or is this normal? It is a back lower molar. Many thanks
I have two false teeth in the front, one of which is recent, the tooth to the left side has had a root canal and has gone black and it looks awful. The corner of the tooth has just broken off, and i will now need it seeing to. I was told that it would have to be filed down to a peg and a crown added which would cost £300 this is with a private dentist, i was seeing, the cost of my last lot of treatment has been high and i just cant afford to pay private. Could i change to a nhs dentist while still on the books at the private one? I am a very nervous person when it comes to dentists and it took me so long to go, i started to cry just filling in forms. Is there any way that the old filling can be taken out and a white one put in and the tooth be built up on the corner? Thank you for giving this matter your attention.
My last lower molar is cracked through and I have a missing molar next to it. I have been advised to have a bridge to attach to the cracked molar with a pontic to bridge the gap and the bridge to attach to the next tooth in which has been filled twice. Is it likely that the bridge will be viable and give longevity given the fact that the anchor molar is cracked?
How long after my front teeth got dislodged and placed back with root canal treatment on them can I expect to have discoloured teeth?Do I need non-vital bleaching straight away ?
My Bridge has broken and has over the last few years come out more regularly, my dentist who is a NHS has told me that I need to get a plate fitted and wants to remove my teeth which have been subject to root canal surgery so are just stumps in my gums now, I can afford to go private but my question is a plate (3 teeth) best or is it best to have implants or something else done, my Bridge is a 2 prong either side (one has broken off) with a extra tooth in the middle, so a 3 gap bridge, also if I have the bridge will I be able to eat properly thanks
tooth no 31 is loose. I am age 68 and though have reg. hygenist treatment and take good care of my teeth it seems I suffer from gum desease. It has been suggested removal of this tooth, root canal treatment to the 2 either side to enable a bridge to be fitted.WHAT is root canal treatment, I cant find anywhere it explained. Also another dentist suggested NO root canal,but laser to these teeth to strengthen them and then bridge fitted. Also a back lower moler has no bone left so huge deep hole which is kept clean. l dentist: remove tooth. other laser, bridge top and sides to stop food going in.
i dont WANT to kill my 4 front teeth, would prefer laser, where can I get this treatment in Uk or Israel where I live. thank you.
can u get gas if you having root canal (as if you are scared of needles) ?
I have had a metallic taste on the front of my tongue and a dry upper pallette since Early Dec 2010. I can alleviate this during the day by chewing gum, but can’t do this at night when I need to sleep.. I suffer from recurring sore throats but don’t currently have one. My GP has reviewed my blood tests and they all came back normal. I did have a root canal work done in Oct 2010 and finished it off with a crown on Nov 2010. The crown is ceramic. A seperate dentist told me that there was nothing wrong with the work done. Where do I go from here
