I'm having a terrible toothache from time to time, and doctor says it would be the best to be treated to this special treatment. However, I've read this is the last step to save the tooth instead of making an extraction, and is used when there are any other things to do. But, pain has decreeased a lot these last weeks, I don't know why, it happened curiously after I found a lot of information about my problem. I would appreciate a lot any comment or suggestion.
Thanks
Answer:
Two possibilities:1 - your tooth might have been traumatized or irritated in some minor way, which caused temporary inflammation in the nerve inside the tooth ("reversible pulpitis"), which is healable. If that's the case, X-rays would show nothing, pulp vitality tests would return normal responses, and nothing needs to be done to the tooth.2 - your tooth might have irreversible damage to the pulp due to trauma, cavities, or other causes ("irreversible pulpitis"), and the nerve inside the tooth was dying. While it was dying, it would hurt a lot. When the nerve inside the tooth has completely died, the pain stops. But the problem does not end there-- The dead tissue inside the tooth might cause an abscess to develop at the root tip region in your jawbone, and that is bad. Such a situation would still need root canal therapy or extraction even if you no longer feel pain. Consult a dental professional for an evaluation and to discuss your options.Hope this helps.
root canals are painful, not only the pay but the cost all so and not knowing how long that it will stay in, best ask your dentist more questions on this area.
Get the root canal... hopefully you have dental insurance... It doesn't hurt once they remove the root and nerve... it just takes a long time and requires several follow up visits
Root canals, from what I understand, are the result of decay within a given tooth that effect the nerve. In my case, I had a cavity that was really deep and even after I had a filling put in it continued to decay almost all the way to the jaw bone.The explanation that I got from the dentist is that the nerve of my tooth had died and it needed to be removed as well as the decay and infection inside of my tooth.Basically what he did was go inside my tooth, take all of the decay out, clean the four canals of my tooth, made a mold of my real tooth and then put a temporary cap back in my tooth. After a couple of weeks the permanent cap arrived in his office and he simply took off the temporary and replaced it with the permanent cap.As far as the operation itself, I was given a local anestetic and I was awake through the whole thing. I felt no pain at all and I even drove home from the dentist's office.I've had two root canal operations, one without dental insurance and one with it, and it can be very expensive. When I had it done without insurance the whole procedure, including the permanent cap, cost about $1,300. Believe me it was not fun to have to pay that but you need to have this operation done.If you wait too long the tooth can become infected, like mine did, and it can spread to other parts of your body and cause serious complications. I waited about two and a half years before I finally had my second root canal done.
