Hi Bryanna,
What was done after extraction? did she get an implant.cture? Typically how long does a tooth with RCT lasts without a problem? And how much longer a post op increases the life of the tooth? One more questions, can a crown replaced without damaging the tooth structure? Regards, Kanna Quote:

Kanna,
This patient wore a removable partial for several months and then had a bridge made to replace the tooth. Root canaled teeth have problems right from the start. They are chronically infected and cause a growth of infectious bacteria in the jawbone. Sometimes the obvious symptoms of the infection are not apparent until months or years after the root canal is done. Most of the time, they are ignored until there is pain, swelling, or the tooth becomes loose. A post in a tooth actually weakens the tooth, causes additional inflammation and bacteria to grown and ultimately shortens the lifespan of the tooth. When replacing a crown, some of the tooth is cut away to accommodate the new crown. This causes additional weakness in an already fragile tooth. Bryanna Quote:

A few years ago I opted for tooth extractions as apposed to root canals. My dentist did not recommend rc. He said you end up losing the tooth usually. so I am missing my back 3 teeth on one side.
Then last year I needed 2 root canals on the other side. i opted for the root canals trying to SAVE the teeth. I really don't want to lose teeth on the other side....I can only chew on one side as it was. So I got the root canals, then crowns. So far, so good. I chew gingerly and am keeping my fingers crossed. I hope they last longer than it is taking me to pay them off!!! Getting old really sucks sometimes!!!

I had my 3 root canal teeth out last week. Honestly they were black. The roots were totally black. No wonder I am always ill with those dead things in my mouth. I developed multiple sclerosis within a week of having them done and now 20 years on I also have spondylitis in my spine and crumbling vertebrae. After reading about root canals I think thats what caused it.

Hi Riven,
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I am sorry you have to deal with feeling ill all of the time. The root canaled teeth may not have caused your MS, but they certainly contributed to the progression of it. Any long standing infection in the jawbone will weaken the immune system creating a systemic vulnerability to all sorts of health problems. I am very glad that you decided to remove those teeth.... I'm sure your immune system is too. I hope you find some improvement in your health.... even if just a little bit. Thanks again for sharing... Bryanna Quote:
