Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2005Self-limiting damage by beef jerky?
No, I'm not trying to be silly. I had root canal treatment on my first and second upper molars about eight months ago. They're nicely dead now. Most of the time anyway. Sometimes these two molars and the wisdom tooth behind them become exquisitely tender, and this usually happens a few hours *after* I've eaten beef jerky, i.e. quite tough, chewy food. It only happens on the side where I had the root canal treatment, the other side of my jaw copes with the strain of eating this food just fine. The pain is worst when chewing pressure is applied to the affected teeth and it subsides without medication in a day or two. Is there something going wrong at the, for want of a better word "interface" between the teeth and the bone? Does it simply mean I should go easier on tough, chewy foods or is it likely that there is some sort of clinical problem? You had the root canals done, but did you have the teeth crowned (capped)? I hope so because if not then you are going to crack a tooth in half and then it will need to be extracted. Back teeth need this protection due to the forces involved in crushing and grinding of food back there and the fact that the tooth is severely weakened after being hollowed out with the root canal treatment. > No, I'm not trying to be silly.

I suggest a switch to the softer, gummable, greazy Slim Jim sticks instead. >>>>Is there something going wrong at the, for want of a better word >>>>"interface" between the teeth and the bone?

Joel Can't resist, although no better than you or anyone. Crown or no crown, if we are what we eat, you are a jerk. Beef jerkeys look like they are for animals just by sight. Switch to salami, baloney, corned beef, etc. And we may also be what we drink. Walking around with a can of soda pop constantly, is a good advertisement for coke, pepsi, and does not in good faith, advertise the need for a dentist. Included in the mix are chocolate, so who can talk. Right or wrong, Good teeth throughout life indicate maturity. So we can almost say, what we eat or drink is a matter of emotional health? As SP would say, will get off the soapbox now, as it is very slippery. Gail >Can't resist, although no better than you or anyone. >Crown or no crown, if we are what we eat, you are a jerk.
