What to expect from a root canal? Chronic illness.

so as I sit here with ice on my cheek after a complex, and very intense extraction of a root canal tooth, I can tell you DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET A ROOT CANAL! I will make this long story as short as possible. Had a root canal 8 years ago, it failed after 4 years because I have TMJ and clench. Crown loosened, decay began and I had it retreated. another 4 years and on xray they could see a shadow indicating resorption or decay. It was decay from the crown once again, being microscopically loosened from clenching. Made appt at oral surgeons to have it extracted as it was a premolar, (tooth 29) and long root, and sat on top of my nerve. The extraction was intense and I mean intense and my oral surgeon is nationally recognized, and highly skilled. It took him almost 1 hour and he took breaks because of my jaw (tmj) they had to reveal my jawbone, drill away bone to take it out in tiny piece by piece because root canal teeth shatter like glass when you try to remove them. The older the root canal the worse it is. I had intense swelling and pain in my jaw. They did bone grafting also. I will NEVER get another root canal, I will opt for extraction and implant if possible. But no more root canals. I have one more in my mouth and I assume it will shatter as well when the day comes to extract it. Be careful guys, the root canal will fail eventually and it will be a very difficult and painful experience for extraction and healing. take care!

PLEASE!!! Don't ever! Have a root canal! It has been proven to be IMPOSSIBLE! to sterilize the site!!!

Is a root canal or a dental filling is it the same dental surgery??

i dont have any symptoms and my dentist says I need one

I had no pain and no swelling. Only a slightly discomfort with cold food and drinks. So why it was neccessary to do a root canal. There was a cavity for sur but very slight pain and no swelling.

I avoided a root canal, and am now researching. See your dentist if you have a concern

I'm gonna receive my RCT tomorrow. Hope it's not too late.

A great dentist is worth their weight in gold-- and worth every penny we pay them. Tooth pain is indescribable agony. The anxiety people feel when they hear the words 'root canal' or 'tooth extraction' can be off the charts, so overwhelming (root canal has terrifyingly bad PR, which is a mystery that it endures in 2022) and so a gentle highly experienced dentist or oral surgeon calming them and reassuring them of minimal pain is EVERYTHING. A good dentist can even administer the local anaesthetic so that it feels like a sting followed by pressure-- which is not the same thing as real pain. Absolutely wonderful how far medical and scientific technology has come. When you throw a warm, patient, highly competent doctor into the mix...well, it's the best possible scenario. Great dentists and their assistants are true unsung heroes.

Watch root cause on tubi tv

I’ve had a chipped tooth for a couple of years & dentist told me I need a root canal had it done no pain meds antibiotics nothing I’ve been in pain like crazy any helps

Had a root canal yesterday. Procedure was painless, and more than 12 hours after, I don't have much pain just little throbbing here and there. I'm avoiding hard foods.

Had mine done no pain at all and no painkiller needed

Rot canal should be illegal!

I need a root canal on a top premolar tooth. How many injections will I most likely need and will I need a palate injection?

I'm only 17 and I have to have a root canal soon. How long will the pain last after surgery?

Dr. Lundgren, I had a root canal and tooth resorption fixed. It has been two days now and my smile is still crooked and still having pain where the incision is. Should I be concerned?

Some distressing posts. My root canal treatment was carried out by a specialist endodontist, and although it was a challenging tooth, I had no pain whatsoever afterwards.

I' have my procedure Monday . Can I still eat that night befre? Or have to stop eating after a certain time ...mines is eaaarrllyyy in the morning

👍🏽🦾

I had root canal treatment today. So far okay with no pain or discomfort as such. Just took first dose of antibiotic/painkiller tablets

I am already having a problem with my jaw and I have brasis on...im doomed

I got my first Root Canal last Tuesday my mouth is still in the healing process. I was prescribed antibiotics by my Endodontic

I am watching this because I had a rct las saturday and right now, i am feeling pain all around my jaw. I cannot take it anymore. I am just crying right now. 😭

It's been 3 weeks after obturation I'm feeling discomfort, pins and needles and this pain increases while brushing.. what should I do? I visited my dentist, he prescribed me anti inflammatory medicine

Well everybody here it is comforting to know I'm not alone in the world with head feel likes it going to come off excruciating pain and I dont take pain killers ouuuuchhhh!!

How about I'm still.in.pain after 6 months

When is it safe to dab or smoke weed ?

I just had a root canal done, and I’m very angry. It may be good to get a root canal done in the long run, but don’t let anybody tell you it’s a small whatever procedure don’t allow them to sugar coat it. Post op expect your pain threshold to grow. Make sure you get pain meds and antibiotics. I didn’t get prescribed neither, make sure you eat minimal (soft foods only), have good oral hygiene, and REST. The first 72 hours are brutal before you start adjusting. If you can sleep threw most of those hours, your experience won’t be that bad. Also make sure your dentist has a good reputation following that person, the cost to make sure your work is done right is all worth it. Do your research and don’t be afraid. Dental hygiene is important in ones life. You can do this! I hope this helps, make sure to check up with your dentist if any concerns.

Hello, I’ve had a few fillings, on one tooth I have some sensitivity to hot and cold 6 months passed the fillings date and can chew with no problem. Is it something I can live with or is there something I could/should do?

My tooth hurts and don’t let me sleep

Hello doctor, Greetings I am going through rct of my first molar on lower left side.... I had no pain earlier..only there was a problem of food stucking there bcz of a tiny hole...my doct suggested to do rct...but after rct I m not feeling comfortable ....my ear area is painful...I have headache all the tym ....what should I do... Plz help🙏

Hi my root canal was painless. The pain cane during and after crown. Is this normal

Waste of time and money. Invest in yourself and get an implant. Will last longer than you.

Went to the dentist because I had some mild toothache and wanted to get it fixed before it got worse, dentist told me I needed root canal treatment...now I have sevre toothache. Thanks doc.

I got a root canal and it didn't hurt!

I am in the worst pain in my life ever!!! I don't care what I will never get a root canal ever again!!! I'm going to the ER right now.

A dentist gave me a root canal without telling me. He didn’t offer me anything for after care... no pain killers...no antibiotics...nothing! Before knowing what he did..I went back to his office.. I saw another dentist there. I went for another filling... the Dentist filed down my teeth next to the root canal.. now I have a toothache. I can’t tell which is causing me discomfort...the root canal or the filed down teeth. I went to see a new dentist who was hasty to pull my teeth with the root canal. I just want the tooth with the root canal out. And I might have to get work on the other tooth that was filed down. It’s sad that I can’t find a dentist I can trust.

I'm scared to go to the dentist because its expensive and my family is tight on money ☹

my endodentist did my root canal on 4 appointments then after he fill the final the pain is severe than the condition before treatment i think many dentists are just money hungery

Everytime I have a root canal, it needs to be redone. Dentists don't take it seriously. Twice I had cracked vertical roots that the endodontists couldn't see. What the fuck is that? Use your microscope. Getting in on weekends is impossible- interferes with their golf and TV watching. Word to the wise; save a thousand bucks and weeks of bullshit and excruciating pain. Yank the tooth.

The pain was from another dimension.

Oh my god I love you so much for this video. I have a "hot tooth" and have been having debilitating anxiety about the RCT for a week. I've never had one before. THANK YOU

I'm surprised I thought this video would suck it's actually pretty informative

Hi Dr. Is it normal for teeth to hurt 5 days after RCT?

Really weird, for me, they killed my tooth and some weeks later they filled it with something and it looked normal. The thing is that 2 weeks after that (now) it feels weird all the time and it hurts when I bite into something.

I tell people, if you ever get a root canal go to a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. A microscope will show you if the canals split. A regular dentist does not use a microscope and if you do a root canal with a regular dentist it wont work if the canals split. An Xray or one of those magnifying glasses dentists use wont show if the canals split. If your canals split and you have a dentist do the root canal with out using a microscope, the Root canal will not be successful. I can tell you, even my dentist admitted, he wouldn't be able to do the root canal correctly if the canal's split. Dentists don't want to tell people this. I only found out about this, cause this happened to a friend of mine, who got a root canal from a dentist who didn't use a microscope and the root canal failed. He had to get another root canal from a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. Then he had to get that same tooth re-crowned. That cost a lot of money. So if you need a root canal, make sure you go to a endodontist.

Omg I had a root canel and wow I’m in pain now after 24 hours nearly 48 hours it hurts badddd

I’m only 14, I got a root canal procedure done today. The needle they used to numb me, obviously helped to feel no pain after the procedure but now that it’s gone I can barely sleep. It hurts a lot where my tooth is and it feels kind of numb on the left side of my mouth (down the corners of my mouth). The heartbeat feeling is also there as well. Has this happened to anyone? How long will it last? I can’t take it.
