This been the wisdom tooth , will need to be extracted …don’t think a root canal treatment can work on it ….the procedure of extraction is called surgical extraction, base on the position where the tooth it’s…..visit a nearby dental clinic to do the needful asap

Can a tooth with a large hole be cured without extraction?

Asking for my kid bro
Each time he/she eats, the particles of the food is always deposited in that hole thereby exerting more pains as the particles decay in there. Even if the hole is filled up, there is/are existing bateria facilitating the decay which will later extends to the gum. Extraction is the only key. Many thanks

Its best you pull it out and maybe put in a replacement tooth. I once had a hole similar to this and it had to be pulled out, the hole was too wide. that tooth will likely break if they tried to clean it and fill.
Was the procedure painful?

Hello,
Please one of my front teeth doesn't have any hole, it's still strong and firm only when my mouth is warm or hot but the very moment I take in cold water, it becomes pain and even shaking like it wants to pull off. But when my mouth is warm or hot again, it comes back to normal and becomes firm again.
What actually caused it was excess intake of block water.
Any idea what could be the solution?

Yours is just at its earliest stage, and will eventually progress to develop a cavity if you don't halt the gradual process

That pain in the middle of the night is very terrible.
It happened to me one night, I thought I was going to die. I promised myself, if I survived the night, I’ll extract that tooth. I surprisingly survived. First thing the following morning, I went and removed it. Wasn’t sure I’ll survive another night with such pain

They will tell you the only option is to take it out.

Then he would have to take it out, there’s nothing wrong with taking out a tooth. A tooth infection is deadly

Yes, do a root canal and crown it.

60-100k depending on Tinubunomics


Do not extract it, unless you don't have Money.

Kai, poverty has really made many people throway their tooth forever.
45k without crowning. Crowning na 50k

Take him to a dentist. Depending on the level of decay from their assessment, filling is possible. If not, then it has to be extracted. You don't want to experience the pain of toothache trust me.

I had an extraction of a premolar and a filling done on one of my molars on the right side back in the early 90's, while another molar same position on the left was extracted early 2000.


Well said.

I've been experiencing a similar thing but it's been sorted out here in London via filling.

A dentist can give better advice after physical examination.

From wat am seeing u first fill the teeth B4 and the stuff pull out, now the bed tin to do is to extract the teeth. Go to general hospital to do it don't use private
Re: Can A Tooth With A Large Hole Be Cured Without Extraction by Kingzadee: 1:45pm On Jun 04
Yes it can and it won't worry you again for many years, except you don't wash or brush your teeth well after the treatment..

Very simple!!!
Get some CLOVES, GINGER AND SALT available..
Soak the cloves in a small cup of water for an hour, smash the ginger also and pour them in the cup of water..
Use the water to soak your mouth with it for some few minutes, repeat it 3 or 4 times. Then rinse your mouth with salt and warm water, do this for 3 to 4 days.. Morning and night before going to bed, you will come back to thank me later!!!

After proper assessment then the Dentist will determine this. Generally these days Dentist try to avoid extraction, several procedures can be done depending on the diagnosis. But keep in mind from the picture this is a third molar so it might be counter productive to carry out some of these procedures as they are more expensive than extraction. Extraction of the third molar will have little impact on your brother's quality of life so that might be the best option. But ofcourse this all depends on the diagnosis and your willingness(pocket) to save the tooth.

there also seem to be caries on the first molar as well that will need to be addressed as you don't want it progress even more. The first molar is important so the decision to extract it will be more tricky than the third molar as it will affect your brothers quality of life. So best listen to the dentist when he tells you that he needs to work on it. He is not being greedy but trying to save the tooth and prevent further expenses.

Obviously your brother will have to change his eating habits and improve oral hygiene and whatever else is recommended by the dentist. Go to the Dentist now please don't delay!

The best way is to remove the teeth so that you could get your self. That's how I did my own and I'm a Free person.

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.

Sounds like you did pulp capping probably not RCT. Dentist try as much as possible to do less invasive treatments first. RCT is indicated if the infection has gotten to the pulp even then pulpotomy can be done depending on the extent but the prognosis of pulpotomy is not as good as RCT, but its still ensures parts of the pulp is saved. But pulpotomy is usually indicated more in children sha when the teeth haven't completed apexogenesis. Most likely for adult RCT will be done to reduce number of visits and future expenses if pulpotomy fails which is very possible

Actually it can be cleaned up and filled but the problem is that our Nigerian Doctors are either too lazy or not knowledgeable enough to fix such a problem so they'll always suggest the easiest way out which is extraction.
Re: Can A Tooth With A Large Hole Be Cured Without Extraction by goksman2(m): 2:08pm On Jun 04
Yes it can be filled IF IT HAS NOT GET TO THE ROOT. If you feel pain when it come in contact with any thing or food that means it will be extracted.
Re: Can A Tooth With A Large Hole Be Cured Without Extraction by Efilse: 2:31pm On Jun 04
If he isn't up to 12 years, please extract it, it'll definitely grow back. If he's more than 12 years, based on my personal experience, he should still remove it. But moving forward, let him start taking better care of his teeth.

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 had the procedure done in 2017. It saves the tooth.
was looking for the first comment from an informed person. Thank you for educating all the earlier posters before you.

However U must add that RCT is not cheap. Even with insurance, it will still cost over 25k.

Without insurance, just budget 200k minimum

No you’re right. It can even “crawl” to the brain and heart and cause life threatening complications

Was your cavity as big as the one in the photo?

Sometimes it’s far too gone that root canal can’t save. Just good old extraction, bridging and an implant if the OP thinks they’ll miss the tooth.

Re: Can A Tooth With A Large Hole Be Cured Without Extraction by etrange: 3:01pm On Jun 04
Yes, you can do a root canal to fill it up. However, whether you should do that or just pull out the tooth depends on some factors like the amount of tooth left (enamel and dentine) as well as the sensitivity. Your dentist will do an x-ray and advise you on the best option. You shouldn’t have let it get this far.
