Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2005Localised periodontitis
A routine X-ray shows localised periodontitis under one of the roots of a molar. I don't feel any pain when biting with the molar. Is there any cause for concern? The dentist recommended a root canal for the tooth. > A routine X-ray shows localised periodontitis under one of the roots of a > molar. I don't feel any pain when biting with the molar.

Or, if possible, get your dentist to assist with the root canal procedure, if you do not have a good sense of endodontics.

She showed me an X-ray and there was a slightly darker area beneath one of the roots of a molar. That was what she labelled the localised periodontitis. She also offered to have me referred to her endodontist friend. It sounds technically correct, though we seldom use that terminology for that particular ailment.

OK "beneath one root" means "around the root tip" or in dental-speak, "peri-apical" Come to think of it, that's English speak too. Apical (adjective) as in "apex." Peri- as in "around." That's endodontics not periodontics. Lose the word periodontitis. Joel It depends,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, do you plan to keep the tooth through the summer?

Would need to see a radiograph (x-ray) -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Back to the bottle milk or breast fed baby, aside of drinking nothing, what has been the consensus of what is best without causing cavities once the teeth erupt. Reading 140 messages would be impossible for the day. But the question is What effect does the decay have if that is what happens, have on the second teeth. That is really a concern for all mothers that feel breast feeding is the best option, some mothers continue breastfeeding until three years old. There are white spots on the teeth, and some crowding on the bottom teeth (second teeth which probably is not related.) But it is important to know whether decay on the first teeth (unless pulled) will continue decay into the second teeth). This is a current situation, and I would like to give accurate information. Never gave this a consideration before the l40 posts. This information is an emergency. I do not wish to alarm with real cause.
