Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2005Tooth Extraction (Bridge or Implant)
Hi everybody, First time poster here. This coming week I have to have one of my upper back teeth extracted. They said it can't be saved. They tried a root canal, but only finished half of it. I am kind of worried on what I have to go through. I have not had a tooth extracted since my 4 wisdom teeth were taken out as a teenager. They told me this procedure will be a lot easier. I certainly hope so. I'm praying the novocaine makes me nice and numb. I read on the internet that I will only feel pressure. I have to decide weather I should get a bridge or a tooth implant put in. Can anyone give me the pros and cons for each? Since a tooth implant will save the surrounding teeth, this sounds like the better option. But don't they drill the tooth into your bone? Plus, with a bridge I won't be able to floss. How can I save the rest of my teeth from coming out? After this nightmare started, I make sure I floss several times a day as well as brush. Is there anything else I can do? I am middle aged. Peace. > I have to decide weather I should get a bridge or a tooth implant put > in. Can anyone give me the pros and cons for each?

Have a look. Brush and floss is the best medecine. HTH SP  SignatureTake out the TRAASH to reply Of course that implant is the firt choice if you chose a brigde you must destroy the crowns of the teeth next to the edentulus space. Of course is more expensive and the treatement is longer. Th brigde is cheaper and you CAN floss there is a special floss "superfloss" of oral-b Stovepipe escribió: >>I have to decide weather I should get a bridge or a tooth implant put >>in.

To answer a small part of your query. I just had a tooth extracted that my partial connected to. The dentist offered implants and said that the implant on the bottom was much sturdier and had a better chance of success. (4 teeth = $12,000). After this procedure I took 7 days of Clindamycin and developed an all-over body rash from it. I'm into my fourth day of it. I went to ER and they said nothing can be done except Benadryl. I'm wondering how long this will last. Good luck with making the correct decision for yourself. I can see that you are concerned.

I have not needed to. You probably do not need to do so again either. Signature/ Amatus / >I have another dental coming up next week.

I must've posted in another subject that I had cellulitis after dental work around the 2nd of November. It was in my breast where I had had cancer. My breast surgeon said that it is documented that dental work can bring about cellulitis and suggested that I take antibiotics to prevent this in the future. That's why I'm concerned about taking antibiotics again -- looks like it's a choice of cellulitis of the breast (and this is not insignificant) or a horrible rash from the antibiotics. Thanks again, Amatus. Dee > / >> [quoted text clipped - 77 lines] >>>>>> that you are concerned. >>>>>> Dee > taking antibiotics again -- looks like it's a choice of cellulitis of the > breast (and this is not insignificant) or a horrible rash from the > antibiotics. If you have previously had a rash from an antibiotic, YOU CANNOT TAKE THAT PARTICULAR DRUG EVER AGAIN. ! You could die if you take the same drug again. Make sure all you health care providers are aware of the allergy and you are switched to a different antibiotic. Signature/ Amatus / > >>> I wonder why you say that.

And I'll find out what the similar drugs are to Clindamycin. I am allergic to penicillin is the reason they gave me Clindamycin. I'm hoping I won't run out of types of antibiotics to take. There are probably several. My appreciation, Dee > / >> [quoted text clipped - 101 lines] >>>>>>>> that you are concerned. >>>>>>>> Dee > Hi everybody, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Peace. In addition to the boilerplate relative merits of implant vs. fixed bridge, consider the amount of bone in the area of the extraction, and the proximity of the sinus. Patients with a history of chronic sinus disease should understand the risks if the sinus must be raised and grafted in order to place an implant fixture. The condition of the teeth adjacent to the extracted tooth must also be considered in determining whether a fixed bridge is advisable. Steve >Hi everybody, > >First time poster here.
