Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2004Nerve Question
I developed pain in my upper back molar tooth. My dentist told me I should get a crown. He said he could fill it to last a few years. So that is what he did. I wanted to save money. After the filling I am still getting pain with cold water and hot water. My dentist checked it again and he hit the tooth and I had no pain. Then he blew air around the tooth and I yelled ouch. Dentist says it is the little nerves that go around the tooth that is giving me problems. He put some ointment on them too see if that would plug up the nerves. It helped a little but a week later I still have pain with cold water. Question: 1. Are there any other things I can try to get rid of this pain? I.e. sensodyne toothpaste. More ointment from Dentist. 2. Does it seem to be inevitable I need a root canal? 3. Would a crown cover the area better and I would not have as much pain?

Would a crown cover the area better and I would not have as much pain? > (Dentist said no - crown would not have helped) How long does the pain last for? If you are getting short sharp pain that last a few seconds (ie lasts as long as the stimulus) then this is reversible pulpitis, and RCT would not be indicated in the majority of cases. If the pain lasts for ages, wakes you up at night, then this is irriversible pulpitis and would need either RCT or XT. BTW what filling did he give? Composites are known to have marginal shrinkage when you light cure them, at it is possible that there is a void or some form of marginal leakage. Pain only lasts as long as stimulus. Filling was the new white stuff. He applied it with a gun. (my old dentist always used silver. old school I presume.) Whats the cure for reversible pulpitis? >>I developed pain in my upper back molar tooth. >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >shrinkage when you light cure them, at it is possible that there is a void >or some form of marginal leakage. leave it alone so it can reverse itself. >Filling was the new white stuff.

UM MOM Susan Not always ........ then again the tooth may need root canal therapy. And that is never frugal! (It may need a crown afterwards to avoid splitting).

Correcting a former post, where "Day is Done" song attributed to camping is erroneous. It is a song of the army? The musings of the words to "Embers" resembled so much the songs of camp, really thought it was professional work. Since camp recalls happy experiences of childhood camp, campfires, marshmallows, etc. here is the song that was intended. When you come to the end of a perfect day And you sit alone with your thoughts While the chimes ring out with a carol gay For the joy that the day has brought Do you think what the end of a perfect day can mean to a tired heart When the sun goes down with a flaming ray and the dear friends have to part. Well, this is the end of a perfect day Near the end of a journey too But it leaves a thought that is big and strong With a wish that is kind and true For memory has painted this perfect day with colors that never fade and we find at the end of a perfect day The soul of a friend we've made End This reallly, at the end of a perfect day of archery, swimming, volley ball, boating, and the counterparts of the boys camp on the other side, etc .makes camp a memorable experience.
