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 ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks to anyone who has an idea how to tackle this!
