Dear Pat,
Forgive me for sending so late on this topic, I am a truckdriver and at
present seldom get to enjoy the list.
My own experience is horrible as far as the root canals go. I had pain,
continued throughout the experience, swelling a lot of the time, sensitivity,
and finally an infection that wound up having the tooth extracted. As I do tend
to have bad teeth I have come to accept that times are they simply have to come
out. I would rather sport dentures than the pain and illness I have had in the
past. I would never have another root canal, nor would I encourage or allow
where I had influence. This is a destruction of the normal casing the tooth has
from formation, thus allowing all forms of infections and toxins to form and
release, mine made me sick as well, as other tooth problems have, but I
hesitate none at the thought of removal vs. root canals, reguardless the
necesary replacement. There is always the possibility of having a cosmetic
plate to hold the other teeth at bay until you are able to complete the
necesary work to replace that tooth, and they can make the plate
when the tooth is removed, i wore mine out of the dental office same
appointment, cheap and easy way to adjust until the procedure is completed.
Hope yours turns out ok, godspeed all. Lisa.

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?
Pat
