Hi medassist,
Glad to hear that you sought the holistic approach and had that damn tooth removed!!
You asked: My question is how and what plan should I approach when handling these teeth?
Large filling in #14- digital xray says its "ok"
extraction site #19 pan free ofcourse but
#18 dull pain . I will be getting a new xray on this tooth. Its kind of a guessing game, but I want to be systematic about dealing with this lower qdrnt that iv had problems with since April.
My answer: Teeth #14 and #18 could be hurting because you are over using them to chew with. By now there has been some shifting due to the removal of #19 so that can cause certain teeth to feel sore or achey. I would proceed ahead with the amalgam removal if both teeth look okay on the xrays. Sometimes pain is an indicator of a serious problem, sometimes it's something that is brewing and other times it is the result of over use.
I assume this dentist will be following the proper amalgam removal protocol?

Im having new dull pain in the adjacent #18 molar/crown. I seem to be having intermittent pain(dull) in the #14 above and #18 next to the extraction.

Hi Bryanna I know you are reading this and I am happy to say ive gone holistic, do not believe in RC's and don't care if my teeth are pulled as long as im healthy. (saving for the implants ofcourse 
Thanks to anyone who has an idea how to tackle this! |
