Pain In Tooth
Changing Your View Of Root Canals
If you have a pain in tooth and jaw you
need to see your dentist as soon as possible. It isn't wise to
try on your own to get rid of tooth pain. Home remedies will
not provide permanent relief and could result in more serious
problems.
Sometimes what feels like tooth pain is something that is
not even dental-related such as:
- sinus infection
- TMJ syndrome
- Angina or heart
attack
Never try to diagnose and treat what you think is a pain in
tooth and jaw. Seek professional dental care first.
Of course most severe toothaches are caused from a bad
tooth. This is usually the result of an inflamed or infected
dental pulp. The pulp is commonly referred to as the tooth
nerve but it is really more than a nerve. The pulp
is a combination of:
- nerve tissue
- blood vessels
- lymphatic vessels
- specialized cells
These specialized cells are responsible for building the
hard structures (enamel, dentin, cementum) of your tooth.
Once it has completed this task the pulp has no vital function
within your tooth.
A problem in the pulp occurs when you have tooth
decay, a dental filling, a crack in your tooth, or trauma to
your tooth. The pulp then becomes inflamed and can cause pain
in tooth and the surrounding bone and gums.
In my 20+ years as an endodontist (root canal specialist)
I've been asked many times, "Why can't I just take
antibiotics to get rid of tooth pain?" Home remedies including
taking any oral medications just simply will not
provide a permanent solution for pain that is coming from your
tooth nerve or dental pulp.
The reason is that the dental pulp is a very small amount of
tissue trapped inside a hard tooth. There isn't sufficient
blood supply to carry antibiotics into the pulp in order to
adequately treat it.
Once this pulp tissue has become severely inflamed or
infected it can cause pain in tooth, jaw, gums, and even
your ear. To permanently get rid of this tooth pain you must
remove the dental pulp. There are only two treatment options
that accomplish this:
1. Tooth removal. Sometimes
people choose this because they think this is the quickest
and cheapest way to get rid of pain in tooth, jaw, and
gums. What they fail to realize is that when a tooth is
missing the adjacent
and opposing teeth begin to shift and that causes a
problem. The way to eliminate this is by replacing the
missing tooth with a dental implant or bridge. These can
actually be more expensive and time-consuming than saving
the tooth.
2. Root canal treatment. These
may not be the words you wanted to hear but this is the
best way to get rid of pain in tooth, jaw, gums, and ear if
your dentist thinks it is necessary. You're probably
concerned about:
- root canal cost
- do root canals hurt?
- are root canals successful?
These are among the 80+ questions I answer in
The
Relaxed Root Canal. I wrote this book to help
people learn about root canals and have a relaxing root canal
experience.
In Chapter 10 I tell you the
on thing not to do in order to get rid of your tooth
pain. Home remedies such as this one can cause
your pain to get worse.
In Chapter 5 I give you THE
ONE QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR DENTIST BEFORE YOU HAVE YOUR
ROOT CANAL.
You simply must get a YES answer to this question. I'll give
you my recommendation on what to do if you get a NO answer.
