At the Dr. Huggins website, he says root canals are
very bad. So, what is one to do? I have a molar,
bottom, second from back, that is broken, had a
filling down to the root, and is now covered with a
crown to hold it all together. If I chew on it, it
sends an electric shock type pain occassionally. I
discussed options with my dentist. He said you can't
just pull it because then all the other teeth would
shift to fill up the space. To put an artificial
tooth in there, he'd have to grind down the teeth next
to it to attach anchors, but he's unwilling to do that
since one is a perfect tooth that's never had a
filling. To put an implanted tooth in, first he has
to pull the tooth, after that's healed months later,
surgically implant the base, and then about 6 months
after all that you get a tooth attached. He
recommends root canal, ...he said it has a very high
success rate. He said they don't remove the crown,
just drill through it and then fill it up afterwards.
I said I've read things that say they're not good for
you and I know a couple people who've had problems
with pain afterwards, but he said things are so
exaggerated on the internet and that most people never
have a problem. I've been going to him since '89 and
I know he wants what's best for me. He doesn't even
do root canals himself...sends people to an
endodontist. For now, I'll just keep chewing on one
side mostly, although it's sometimes difficult to do.
So, what would YOU do if it was your bad tooth?
