Sounds like its your fault for letting it go so long and not taking the antibiotics right away. Not much you can do but take your pills and put a warm compress on it

The main reason root canaled teeth break is due to the loss of massive amounts of tooth structure due to decay, fillings, and the root canal process itself. Almost ALL back teeth (past the canine...

Try a dental school... the students will be slower, but they will do solid, dependable treatment, it will be cheaper, checked over by a professor (who are very picky) and very gentle!

Sounds very serious, those infections can spread rapidly and cause your airway to cutoff... you may need IV antibiotics. You should go to an oral surgeon or the hospital emergency room

Well sometimes there is a limit to what the orthodontist can do without giving you jaw surgery (breaking it)

I recommend flossing before brushing... that way the food and heavy plaque is out of the contact areas (inbetween teeth) so when you brush the fluoride in the toothpaste can take effect there......
-
If you need a new crown, yeah you need the core.. if he is charging you for a core to simply put amalgam or composite in the hole in the top of the crown (which does not even need freezing most...
-
Nothing is free in life! Some dental schools offer cheap braces, but I don't know, at my school we only treated kids
-
In UAE or canada or USA? You would have to check with your school

Be prepared to get a new crown as well.. depending on the size of the filling under the crown, doing the root canal may lead to the crown becoming weak or coming off, requiring you to get a new one
-
Did your tooth bleed, or did your gums? If your tooth bled you need a root canal (sometimes this happens) If your gums bled, that's normal.. anywas you ned to call him and tell him your tooth hurts...
-
Why can't you ask me on here? I don't give out my email to random people
-
Infection brings pain, swelling, and fever... if you don't have that don't worry... eat whatever you want as long as it does not irritate the extraction site (ie spicy, sharp foods) Stop worrying so...

9 days is usually in the clear for infection or dry socket. I would just wait, you should be fine.

Antibiotics can cause an oral fungal infection (aka thrush, candida) by killing all other bacteria in your mouth and allowing the yeast to flourish... go back to your dentist, and eat lots of yogurt!

-
No you should have went to the dentist a long time ago!
-
Well the current theory is complicated, has to do with pH (acidity) Basically the lower inside of the teeth is always filled with saliva so has a very high pH (low acidity) so calculus (tartar) can...

Hmm... yeah some people have a skeletal relationship of their jaw so that the top jaw is small or the bottom jaw is big (sticks forward) We call it "retrognathic" or "Class 3"... so usually the...

It really is no big deal, the worst part will be a tiny prick of the needle, then you'll be numb and won't feel a thing!

Sometimes this happens and is part of the risk of doing root canals... EVERY dentist that does root canals regularly will break a file in a canal eventually. The important thing to do now is go to...

You can eat right away but avoid hard or sticky foods (no gum/candy) keep it clean and floss around it (but don't "pop" the floss back out.. pull it out after it slides through the contacts)
-
You could use GIC but id imagine that might seal the area up and prevent the ZOE from providing its therapeutic benefit...
-
Well the idea of the ferric sulfate is to stop bleeding... the CaOH will disinfect the area and stimulate a dentinal bridge (by the remaining radicular pulp).. finally, the ZOE is a pulpal sedative...
-
Well you can use Ferric sulfate... remove the coronal pulp, stop bleeding with ferric sulfate... the place CaOH and IRM (ZOE) that's the way I've done it anyway
