Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2005Cracked Back Tooth - Decision Time
Hi, I have got a back tooth on the RHS of my jaw with a huge filling that has cracked and causing discomfort when I eat. Due to the 'hack and crack' method utilised by a trainee dentist when i was on the public health system 10 years ago, I have had the back 3 teeth on the LHS removed as well... My fear of dentists lies somewhere to the centre of mortal and illogical. I have had a root canal in the past and in no rush to go through another one. Is it normal for it to hurt sooooo much when they dig that little nerve out?! Can anyone give me an idea regarding the process and recovery time for implants? I am thinking I'll just have the cracked tooth yanked out and then an implant jammed in ech side to give my jaw some balance with chewing again. I was going down this path because I thought I could get it all done under a general rather then lying in the chair.... > I have had a root canal in the past and in no rush to go through > another one. Is it normal for it to hurt sooooo much when they dig that > little nerve out?! As a person who has had several, I can tell you that the answer is no. I have never had one hurt. The last one was a pure pleasure (except for the check-writing part). Vaughn > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > another one.

Any changes in antibiotic prophylaxis, new/old materials deemed safe/unsafe, current guidelines for trauma control and decision making, mouthguards, etc are there in very short-and-sweet .pdf format. .... I wish they'd recommend my *Salton coffee-warmer gutta percha back pack* as T.H.E. standard of practice, but, I won't hold my breath.... I would also want them to hurry up and pronounce judgement on the Endo(Bio)caylex treatments going around as *full and complete biological root canal treatments*, and similar such BS. Note to self: Phone the head of the aae.org and chew 'im out..... SP |
