Root canal treatment, depends on how deep the hole is. I did mine at navy hospital in dockyard. V.I Lagos.
They would first do an xray, to see if the infection has gotten too deep, then would them take out all the decayed and infected tissues, put some medicine in it and cover it up for about 2 weeks, some leave if for months, to cure and kill the infection....then you go back and take it all out, the hole is then filled with medicine again, and covered up and permanently filled . Suprising it wasn't painful or expensive....did mine over 2 years and have no issues. I think it's a factor of if the infection has gotten to the nerves or spread too far, that determines if root canal can be done. My girlfriend had 2 if her tooth removed same period in a government hospital in ibadan, and till now I don't understand why.

Yes it can. A procedure called Root Canal Therapy will be carried out. It involves removing the sensitive parts of the tooth (the pulp) and filling it up with a substance called amalgam. After this is done, the enamel will need to be covered with a substance called crown.

I’ve gone through the procedure in 2017. It saves the tooth.

This is true. @Lutherblaq, please let him undergo Root Canal Therapy ASAP. I also started mine two weeks ago and completed it last week Saturday.

The infected pulp will be removed, weekly treatment will be administered for two weeks, drugs will also be given. Then on the 3rd week, if thoroughly healed, it will be filled, depending on the choice and strength of filling that you want.

Though it was quite painful o.

The whole thing with registration, X-ray, Scaling and Polishing of my teeth cost me about 80k. It's totally worth it o. Though with crowning it will shoot up significantly. Though I also plan to do that after the coming festivities.

Other people might simply go for extraction which is cheaper. But I love my tooth, plus the funds, was available.

Happy healing.

I can bet they did the lazy thing. The practice now tries to save every tooth as there are means and tools to do that.

Please go to a dentist and fill up the hole. The moment the decay gets to your pulp, pain will start and you won't be able to fill it again rather extraction

It is good that he quickly goes to the dentist to fill it up especially if he's feeling any pain.

But slight correction though, even if the pulp is infected, the tooth can still be saved with Root Canal Therapy rather than extraction.

Let me tell you what a Dentist will do smiley

A dentist will ask you to sit on a chair, fall your head backwards and open your mouth wide.

He would go on to inject you with lidocaine using a big needle and syringe.

Finally, he will use 'plier' grin to drag that tooth out and if it's too hard, he'll turn it back and forth like the gear of a vehicle cheesy

And then clean you up afterwards.


I had stitches after the extraction because I was bleeding non stop.

Same thing with me. I had similar problem and God knows it hurts like hell. i almost removed it but i was discouraged that years later it will likely move to another tooth.

First i killed the worms and stopped the decay with salt and very hot water directly to the spot using a pipe the after i use fresh garlic mixed with turmeric. chew it or grind it and place it on the spot for like 3 days just like this guy said. The pain went away miraculously. Now i chew with it perfectly without pain. I just make sure i clean that particular spot thoroughly especially before bed.

Don't when waste your time and money on one useless root canal treatment. Opt for extraction.
Rct will drain your pocket.i was close to the end about 7 more visits and I calculated how much I spent so far,I no do again.on top teeth

Maybe your own procedure wasn't properly carried out. 7 visits seem too much.

Plus some people don't mind spending anything to save their teeth. Everybody's value things differently.

Thanks.

I can't believe you waited till now to do anything about this.
Will I call it ignorance or is it the money involved to see an oral surgeon to get the tooth extracted that is the problem?

In the past, extraction was the only answer. Today, thete are options. Get a dentist to look at it. They may have to fill it up after treating it to deal with the microorganisms digging the well of pains there.

Root Canal is well proven to cause internal rot, and consequently unexplainable routine inflammation.

Do not do root canal, extract the tooth. Further for those of you who already have a root canal, better go for CT Scan check up, to ensure your Jaws and facial bones are not rotting internally.

As a dentist I don't encourage extraction rather treating the infection and waiting for it to fall off on its own. The pain from extraction can sometimes not respond to drugs and can get fatal in few cases. So i always advice treatment. By the ways be selective on the choice of toothpaste to reduce sinus infection!
