Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2005Dumb Question About "Dead" Teeth
I'm sorry to ask what is no doubt a dumb question but teeth are a little bit of a mystery to me. My teeth #6 and #19 have had root canals; #6 has a crown and #19 has a big, big filling. Sometimes these teeth will hurt, especially when touched with something cold. The teeth surrounding them don't hurt, and don't react to cold or heat. I thought root canals destroyed the nerve of the tooth, and they were supposed to be incapable of pain afterward. Am I wrong, or are my teeth crazy?  Signature"Did Father shoot him?

' the backbone connected to the ankle bone ...... Ankle bone connected to the toebone ........ Now hear de word of de Lord.

Its not as simple as 200-amp house wiring ... eh Dr. Steve? >I'm sorry to ask what is no doubt a dumb question but teeth are a little >bit of a mystery to me.

As all readers of this group know, dentists only have to contend with spontaneously-generated differentials of 350 millivolts. ;-) - dentaldoc > >I'm sorry to ask what is no doubt a dumb question but teeth are a little > >bit of a mystery to me.

(I counted backwards; its #11 and #30). I think I understand why #11 would act up; I've seen the x-rays and the root grows into the sinus area, and I have problems with my nasal sinuses plus the root canal filling doesn't go completely up into the end of the drilled-out part. #30 hurting makes me think there is a huge bill in my future. Thanks for the information. Signature"Did Father shoot him?
