We live in a disposable, all-things-recyclable era. Yet some things are truly worth saving, preserving and revering. Take our teeth, for instance: a gateway to nutrition, a sign of emotion, a signal of overall good health. Our natural teeth are worth saving. And no one is better equipped to do that than an endodontist.

How is any knowledge about root canals saving teeth going to reach the population? There’s no key words in the title for your videos to become influential. They go nowhere …….
anybody reading this in 2024, letting yall know that i had RC an hour ago, and it went absolutely fine! i was a nervous wreck, i was having panic attacks the entire night before and even few mins before the procedure i was feeling dizzy with the fear but my dentist was amazing. with my fear of needles as well he was so subtle with the anesthesia i didn’t even realize the first second, then i felt the pinch, the pain really didn’t last more than 10 secs and that also was due to my anxiety. the process was painless, felt all of it but felt no pain. i had a severe case since my canal was calcified which means im to b expecting twice as more pain than usual now but it was okay, the process was good, i hope this helps anyone reading!
What really hurt is my 2 abcess teeth 1 top left wisdom and top right 2nd molar swelling and alot pain for a couple weeks and i also had a bottom left broken wisdom tooth for 2 years i could put my tongue in the tooth and feel the nerve i felt burning pain in my jaw i had them all removed tooth pain is so bad very stressful my top right molar hurt for 6 days straight no break before it died and pain went away all together but a purple bubble appeared above the tooth i took antibiotics and the tooth was extracted worse pain of my life
Hey doc I may have to get a root canal in my front tooth due to damage in the gums their is an infection which will resolve in a few weeks but the root canal will hopefully bring me peace since it's my front tooth how will it be numbed so I don't feel anything?
I’d feel much better a getting root canal if the cleaning was done with UVlight fiber optic technology which was tested in ‘07 super effective, but i guess that kind of tech might eventually mess with the business model
Sounds like the typical root canal treatment. I agree to go seek a root canal specialist for better treatment. Avoid cheap root canals where dentists chase the lowest paying insurance company. I am an Endodontist.
@@niharika709I know how you feel. I put off getting the root canal for so long because I was worried of the pain and what others went through. But in the end the decision to get it done was the best! I can chew food on that side now and not have to worry about it stinging. :)
Problem is natural teeth get infected, rot, cause infinite amounts of dental work and cost. I have gotten 7 teeth removed: all in the back. Never regretted it.
I honestly need some advice. I had a root canal done on one of my molars around 5 years ago. It's been perfect ever since, but during the treatment was one of the most painful experiences that I've ever had relating to my mouth. The endodontist had given me 3 shots of lidocaine when i kept telling him i was in pain, but it did next to nothing. Im about to get another one on a different tooth soon, and am almost having a panic attack thinking about it. Unfortunately, im pregnant so they can't give me any oral sedation or laughing gas. What can i do to not flip out in the chair? Am i going to experience the same thing again?
Jarom was a great guy when I worked with him years and years ago at a company called SPS Payment Services in Layton, Utah. I'm glad I was able to know him and I'm thrilled at his success.
Just got told by dentist I need root canal retreatment due to infection at root. However, he said he can't do it and referred me to endodontists. My insurance isn't very good and I'm wondering what the cost will be.
Had this done just yesterday. It was about $2300. See if they can offer you a payment plan, but you gotta do this ASAP. I know the kind of pain you're in. Painkillers don't help. This should. Best of luck!
I just got quote for $2000 for tooth #14, after seeing you guys’ comments, I went ahead confirmed the appointment, I guess that’s the going rate nowadays
I am desperate for some real dental advice!!! :( To anyone that can spare their time and expertise: I had a Root Canal 4 months ago on a “hot tooth” molar #30 that was so sensitive, I couldn’t even be numb the whole way. The procedure itself was traumatic and painful. About 5 weeks ago, the pain came back. I went to my dentist and they suggested it was the crown being too big, they adjusted and the pain came back days later. I went in again, and they adjusted the crown further, insisting it wasn’t an infection. Pain, again, came back days later. Finally they took a CT Scan that showed a canal was missed, so I had a retreatment done later that week. For the first 3 days, I felt absolutely great! Then the pain came back worse than ever in the middle of the night, so bad that I went into the ER for a stronger painkiller. I was desperate for a 2nd opinion, so I went to another dentist that morning and he prescribed me steroids for inflammation, and a narcotic to help me get through the next few nights. The pain significantly subsided over that week, and the “hot tooth” feeling has finally gone away, but my tooth is still sensitive to touch and I definitely can’t chew on it. Today was my 2-week post retreatment check-up, my endodontist at my regular dentist office took another CT Scan and sat with me to show what she looks for. She insists there is zero infection present (she prescribed me antibiotics just in case) and that the root canal looks successful. She said although it may be frustrating to hear, she really wants to save the tooth and to asked me to wait 2-more weeks to see if it “heals”, as retreatment can be more invasive than the initial root canal. At what point do I go for extraction? I’m able to get by the day with regular Advil at this point (before I needed tramadol to get through the night) but shouldn’t I be concerned the tooth is still sensitive to wiggle 2-weeks after treatment? I should add, the man that performed the root canal to begin with did NOT perform the retreatment. I absolutely refused to go to him being he has rough hands and zero sympathy with trying to get me properly numbed. I appreciate anyone that’s taken the time to read this today,
You might not get much luck getting an immediate answer on a dead video such as this one. But regardless, I'm sorry to hear that. How are you able to feel pain on a tooth that is practically dead?
@@soundoverdose3134 Yes! It’s still very painful to chew on or even touch. All my endodontist can keep telling me is to “wait and see” if it heals, but I know in my gut this isn’t normal. I’ve opted to pull the tooth out tomorrow and go for an implant later down the road.
@@nataliem7671 but if you decide to go with an implant that means you would need a bone graft from either yourself or a donor. Then that means you have to wait months for it to heal before it gets drilled into for the implant to thread itself in place. Are you sure you wanna add more complexity to solving this? I'm going in for a retreatment today and will see how it goes. Will be trying my best to avoid getting an implant
@@nataliem7671how are you feeling now? I could use some motivation. I cannot function properly for 2 weeks already. This constant pain feels like the ultimate punishment, I wake up just to take more painkillers and then go back to sleep because the pills are so strong I cannot even see well.
Went to get emergency root canal couldn’t get numb received max anesthesia hope nobody has to go through that left with more pain but going to a root canal specialist on Tuesday to get it done
@@bepalm544 going good after that terrible day went to urgent care and got some amoxicillin to fix the hot tooth and then went to get the root canal it went smoothly. I have a filing as we’ll need to go get my crown but dentist keeps pushing my appointment back
My dentist did give me the option to see an Endodontist, but he strongly recommended extraction. I had a huge cavity that formed inside my number 15 molar, which was damaged from bruxism. The structural integrity of the tooth was compromised. Not to mention, the tooth was severely infected. The pain ended up spreading to other teeth, into my brain and sinuses. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced. Sometimes, you don't have a choice to keep your tooth. With implants now being more financially accessible to everyone, a root canal is no longer the only option. Implants are a permanent solution and will probably last a lot longer than a root canal. In my opinion, once a tooth is structurally compromised, extraction is probably the best choice. Especially since a root canal weakens the structure of the tooth. Of course, everyones situation is different. I'm getting a root canal on my number 2 molar this Monday. Thankfully, that one can be saved.
Help my dudes, I’m gonna have to have 3 root canals in one sitting- god my teeth hurt man- I’m probably gonna need to get antibiotics it’s gotten rlly bad..also I have rlly bad pain as well, im always in pain man, I’m scared of the procedure but at the same time I just want to go through it because I hate this pain. Im scared of dentists as well, so this is relieving to me and PLEASE I NEED THE ROOT CANAL MAN
I'm a general dentist for over 40 years. I've probably performed about 3,000 root canal procedures. I'm thinking well under ten patients, maybe half of that had enough pain that they even mentioned pain at the next visit or called me right after the procedure. I've personally had root canals on 3 teeth, all molars which are a more complex root canal procedure. I never a second of pain during the procedure or afterwards. The success rate of root canal procedures is 97-99% which by any standard is excellent. My theory as to why root canals have such a bad reputation and are the go to subject of standup comedians is human nature which loves to give bad news and get you jacked up. If I perform 1,000 root canals and one person has a rough time I guarantee that you won't hear from the 999 telling you, "Let me tell you about the great pain free successful root canal I had." You'll only hear from the bad experience.
Sir i almost got 7 sitting of rct but still i am feel pain when i put pressure or chew something from that teeth ... And in x rays everything is right dentist is also saying everything is good he is waiting to fill root but my tooth pain is not going ... Pls tell me why is it so ?? ... I m so worried
I broke my front tooth in half at 10 it was permanent. Now I’m 13 I have a temporary crown worried about getting the permanent one haha 😂 mine would be so I could replace my tooth permanently. Hoping not till I’m 20 or ever
I feel the same as you. I keep reading that if you've already presented/had pain on the tooth which you're having RCT on then it CAN be painful and hard to numb the area. I'm terrified. I wish I could be put to sleep for all dental work.
@@rewanaveen4149 Hi Rewa! Have you had it done yet? Let me know how it went whenever you've recovered and feel up to it. I'm really curious. We're both feeling the fear so in the same boat. I'd love to be reassured. 😰
honey, I went today and my dentist said I don't need RCT so he only did the feeling but I just wanna say to you please choose a reputed doctor for a root canal and sweetheart don't worry after giving anaesthesia you are not going to feel a thing but please go to a root canal specialist and be positive⭐⭐❤
@@rewanaveen4149 Thanks Rewa, you're a sweetheart. So pleased to hear that you don't actually need RCT. What a relief that must have been, not just in terms of fear but financially as well. 😌
