Well what do u have to say abt this?
Root Canals Pose Health Threat
as net is so vast,you'll find many arguments for and against almost
everything(especially medical problems).e.g.,there're studies which
say eating chocolates is good for health,do u really believe them?
And this says, try other means first, but my dentist didnt try anything at all.
Ask Dr. Ellie: Avoid the Root Canal!
the case in point is of a person with a brown spot on his tooth.any sane
dr would advice the same thing.
in fact think of root canal as a last resort for saving tooth.certainly it's
not the first line of treatment in most cases.
The guy in following URL has personal BAD experience and HE STRONGLY SAYS NO.
He even says that it wud be better to remove tooth then to do root canal, because it will complicate things heavily in life.
Google Answers: root canal dental surgery
as i said success %age is 94%,atleast 6 outta every hundred people
will be having bad experiences.but believe me ,94% is much higher
when compared to other standard surgical procedures.
Isnt there any other method to remove infection?? Why just decide ROOT CANAL without trying anything else?
according to the history you've given,only other option would be extraction(taking the tooth out).
And is 3000Rs ok? Or its looting the money?
charges depend on various things.a friend of mine got the same treatment
done for 7500 bucks from breach candy hospital.
if you want to save money,u can always ask other docs about their charges
Doctor seems to be so much in hurry, she just says, if u dont do it then i am not responsible for tooth. She also says, if u dont do it in 2days and tooth's shape changes then I will have to get complete new CAP which will cost additional 3000Rs.
doc is right about the cap.after a period of time it 'll be pretty difficult
to fit in the same cap.
I just dont know if there is really problem? How come constant pain has gone after removing the CAP. It now pains ONLY IF I tap the tooth with finger but that too is mild and stays for abt 2-3 seconds.
the pain in a tooth occurs when there is an inflammation or infection
in the socket of tooth.now since your cap has been removed tooth is not bearing any load as it's not in the contact with upper teeth.
but when u apply pressure,the same gets transmitted to the
underlying bone,causing pain and confirming infection.
Let us say I refuse to do ROOT CANAL? How long will tooth last? If pain has reduced, doesnt that mean that body is winning the fight against infection? And we shud wait for 5-7 more days atleast?
if you don't get the treatment done result can't be predicted.your tooth
may last for years,but you'll be unable to chew properly from that side
of the jaw.this will result in excessive usage of the other side,which
will be detrimental to the health of teeth on that side.
as i've already explained pain is reduced bcos of the removal of load
from the tooth.
