ClaireRZ-S Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi folks since you are all teeth experts just wondering if people had this before??? As most of you know i got braces, on one of my bottom teeth the ones at the front became extremely sore. I woke up the next morning with a big red lump. I thought im sure its nothing. Got it checked at my orthodontist and i have an abcess . The nerve is dead and i've now to get a root canal so he took the brace off that tooth. The strange thing is i dont ever remember getting a knock on this tooth and i assume braces didn't help this either. The worst thing is once the root canal is done i've to wait 3 months for the tooth to settle before the brace can be put back on again . 4300 spent on braces and god knows how much more for the root Canal. The poor Supra will have to stay off the road for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I had one done a few years ago, a few weeks after the tooth collapsed so I had to pay again to have it crowned. Should have just had it pulled really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Had a root canal and repeatedly had problems afterwards. The tool used to remove the nerves in the tooth or what ever it is snapped in my tooth/jaw. Now i have problems regularly. Plus the tooth is now collapsing.

ClaireRZ-S Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Wait till you see the tool they use, you will love it lol. oh is it like a sharp pointy needle?? I got a sac of pus cut open today and i could taste it , it couldnt be as worse as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Looks like a piece of wire stuck in a little handle but it has things like barbs on it so when they run it up and down in the tooth it basically destroys whats in the tooth.

nevins Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 That doesn't sound to bad then, I like how they say the tool easily snaps on the rear teeth. What they dont say is that they leave the bloody thing in there lol, but my x-rays look good, especially with the metal stuck in my skull between my eyes. It always makes the hospital look worried.
