Tooth AchePosted by admin on February 23rd, 2010
I have this one big problem on an upper tooth of mine. It has been giving me a lot of pain every now and then, and my dentist has recommended a root canal be done and a jacket afterwards. I have no problems with the pain and hassle of going there every few days but my dentist was honest enough to admit that root canals make teeth very brittle as they kill nerves and the blood supply to the tooth. And if I am not careful with it, it might crack (that’s why it is brittle) . In very rare cases, it gets infected again. All that expense for nothing! I might as well have it extracted but I cannot bear to accept that I will have missing teeth. Sure there are dental implants in San Diego available and I can try them but nothing beats the real tooth. Don’t you agree?
