Infection in teeth aftet root canal treatment

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
My current dentist has started me on a treatment plan. today he has told me that as well as this plan i will then need another treatment plan at a cost of minimum £1400. I am shocked that what I believed to have been the entire treatment is costing me £1800 and now there will be a further £1400 minimum to pay later. The story starts like this I went to an NHS dentist they sent me to a consultant he advised exstraction of my two back teeth,or implants. I decided two implants would cost to much so was going to opt for one implant and an exstraction, as this would be cheaper. I went to a private dentist who told me that the best course of action was to try and save the teeth inspite of the large decay and infection that had eaten the bottoms of the teeth away and this whole treatment would cost £1800 this includeds 3 normal fillings. an implant would have cost about £2000 so I was happy with this. But now it seems that I will have to pay an un-exspected £1400 and I am also at the mercy of the infection not clearing up, in which case all root canal treatment leading up to this will have been a total waste of time. I hope this has given you enoughth information, could you please give me your exspert advice on this.

Is it possible that a Root canal tooth has mutated bacteria

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
I have what seems to be a mean subtle toothache coming from an old root canal. All the dentists are saying that there is nothing wrong with that tooth. I desperation I have already removed the other suspect teeth form around this one (no 6 I believe, left) and now every doctors says that i must not loose this one. Is there such a thing as a mutated bacteria, when sealed in an airtight tooth that can poison you? I have earache, sore throat, and toothache but not a very clear one as the nerve had been removed. I can bite on that tooth but if I touch around the roots it seems to be sensitive inside. No abscess and nothing bad on xrays. Even the enthodontist confirmed that. Please advise whether there is a the possibility of a mutated bacteria. Do they really exist and what cna be used for treatment? Ordinary antibiotics did not make difference.

My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
I have got clearstep braces which is costing quite a bit but because of this treatment I need to stay with the dentist I have however before my braces I had to undergo other necessary work, ie fillings in two back lower teeth and a crown on another back lower tooth which he claimed needed redoing. My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable. My dentist says just use sensodyne toothpaste and it will be okay??? I have been doing this for six months now! On the other lower side (new fillings) I have had terrible toothache with swelling which he said was an abscess, gave me amoxicillin which did’nt get rid of it! I have now been told to go back after christmas! I am still in agony, my face is swollen and I am unable to eat and now looking forward to a very painful christmas. I don’t know what to do as I have so far spent thousands of pounds and don’t really want to go elsewhere, what can I do to ease the pain?

I have a grade 2 mobility I need to get root canal done. Can i remove the tooth?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a grade 2 mobility of UR5 following gum disease and bone loss. I need a root canal treatment on this tooth but due to bone loss there is high probability that I might actually lose the tooth altogether (according to my dentist). My question: could I ask for the tooth to be removed now, rather than waiting and would I still need a root canal? THankyou for your time in advance

I need a root canal. Are there alternatives? Do dentist still use silver caps?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Do dentist still use silver caps? I need a root canal, however are there alternatives to treatment? This procedure cost too much and the crown is expensive as well. I was thinking maybe they can clean the tooth and then just put a silver crown to protect it.
