Temporary filling of the root canal treatment

Question:

Hi ....
I started a root canal of a molar. At first Dentist visit, I had great pain and very inflamed tooth was cleaned and was in addition to antibiotics. There were long a temporary filling and agreed new era after about 3 weeks. There were some cracks in the temporary filling.
Second Dentist visits showed that there were still some inflammation back, got cleaned up again and put a new filling. Since we are so close to Christmas - we agreed first new dental eleventh hour January. Today again been any cracks in the filling and this worries me. Can there be anything about the arrival of crack in the filling? Will the tooth crack? Should I contact my dentist right away?
Thank you in advance for your help :)
Regards Mette

Answer:

Dear Josephine,

You can be quite calm. The temporary fillings dentists use is not as strong as the permanent fillings. Typically, there may also break small pieces off without it means anything.

Hope you can use my answer.

Should I choose root canal?

Question:

I stand by, I think saying a big problem. Go out and travel a half years on January 5 and since it is Christmas OVS, I have not much time to watch an. I got in november removed a temporary filling that I had a half years. Did the temporary filling because I had a big hole where there was a piece of silver filling that had been broken. Has no symptoms experienced in the six years I had the temporary filling. When I looked in november have removed it and put plastic I begin to get symptoms. Already inside the dentist I notice as she polishes the tooth to which a small area that hurts when touched. This area has bothered me a bit ago. My dentist believes it is because the filling was too high and therefore cut the tooth 2 times. After grinding has the place in question, however, been even more sore and reacted to the cold and when I scratch with a fingernail. Especially when I'm out in the cold winter air can I get a lot of pain up through the tooth. The days where I've been very out is the extra sensitive and responsive to hot. There may also be days where I do not think the tooth is sensitive eg those days where I primarily at home. I think even in the case of the nerve is too close to filling and therefore is very delicate. My concern is that I do not know if I need root canal treatment it? The best would probably be to let time pass, but it's a little difficult because I will soon travel to Asia for six years. Can live with my pain now, but I need to know that the pain does not become worse and that there is no risk of infection. Must finally say that I am 25 years old, never been root canal treated. What should I do?

Sincerely, Laura

Answer:

Dear Laura,

You must let your dentist evaluate for yourself whether the tooth should rodbehandles or not. It's a bad sign that the tooth reacts to heat and you have pain in it. Indicating that it ends with a root canal. If your dentist has determined that it is best to wait, it's probably true in your case.

Hope you can use my answer.
