Root canals are prone to future infections that can harm a person health and extraction removes this possibility and leaves room for more robust and infection resistant implants, Root canals you’re not saving the tooth your killing it that needs to change in the way it’s presented.
@Tofflemire5
I've had several patients say "my root canal did not work"... upon examination I learn that the root canal worked just fine. The problem was they did not restore it properly (ie. crown).

I just had a pre molar extracted due to a root canal of 4 years that went bad and got a huge abscess under it.It was so bad i was getting head aches, ear aches, my entire side of my face was extremely swollen. After the extraction and one week of amox 3 times a day its all good, healing with zero pain or infection. I had a good amount tied up in that tooth so i said before i spend anymore id rather just remove it, so now i have to wait 12 weeks then i go back and if it healed nice they will talk implant options which im told some times you need a bone graft some times you do not. But for the people that have missing teeth and let years go by. Im sure thats a bone graft for sure. So in 12 weeks they look at the healing and then decide if we can go forward with drilling and placing the implant. Then i have to wait 12 more weeks and if it heals into the bone , then i go to my general dentist and he orders and fits me for an abutment and a crown i am told. Which all together is a 6 to 7 month process not to mention i am putting some money aside each week because dental insurance loves to say nope to implants i hear people say.... So if i do my part i have 6 to 7 months to save to get this done. Am i missing anything or am i spot on? Ive done so much research and that tooth has caused tons of issues so i felt it was best to remove it rather than drop even more cash on it.

I've had about half my teeth extracted ( financial reasons ) never bothered with brisges, replacing teeth or anything. No significant problems, really. I just adapted. Extraction is cheap, fast, and gsts rid of the problem. ..

Where can I find honest dentist????? EVERY SOURCE SAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

From experience I've learned that root canals are not a permanent solution. It sometimes takes 20 or 30 years for a root canal to fail but at one point it will fail, requiring extraction anyway.
@UltimateGoldenGirl
I had a root canal 5 months ago. It was a nightmare. The root canal turned out "Perfect" and yet I got systemically sick right away. To make a long story short...For me root canals is not an option. Extraction is. I had so many symptoms I ended up at the ER for 19 hours. I had not been sick prior to that root canal. I just had the tooth extracted 3 days ago and pray I feel like my old self again soon!
@dragonkat13
so as I sit here with ice on my cheek after a complex, and very intense extraction of a root canal tooth, I can tell you DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET A ROOT CANAL! I will make this long story as short as possible. Had a root canal 8 years ago, it failed after 4 years because I have TMJ and clench. Crown loosened, decay began and I had it retreated. another 4 years and on xray they could see a shadow indicating resorption or decay. It was decay from the crown once again, being microscopically loosened from clenching. Made appt at oral surgeons to have it extracted as it was a premolar, (tooth 29) and long root, and sat on top of my nerve. The extraction was intense and I mean intense and my oral surgeon is nationally recognized, and highly skilled. It took him almost 1 hour and he took breaks because of my jaw (tmj) they had to reveal my jawbone, drill away bone to take it out in tiny piece by piece because root canal teeth shatter like glass when you try to remove them. The older the root canal the worse it is. I had intense swelling and pain in my jaw. They did bone grafting also. I will NEVER get another root canal, I will opt for extraction and implant if possible. But no more root canals. I have one more in my mouth and I assume it will shatter as well when the day comes to extract it. Be careful guys, the root canal will fail eventually and it will be a very difficult and painful experience for extraction and healing. take care!

Very helpful thank you
@TundraTalk76
I had a root canal once recently and I had some sort of reaction. Tingling on my tongue, lymph nodes, leaking nose. Tooth was ultimately removed and all allergic reactions went away. Definitely would have liked to save the tooth. I have another one (tooth 3) needs a root canal and debating to have it removed or root canal performed. I heard there is a partial root canal available- is that true? Thanks
@Casey_Chaos
My dentist gave me those two options, but I don't have the expertise to make that decision. All I know is that my tooth is infected all the way to the root and is causing immense pain. I don't see why I'd want to keep a tooth that is infected. It seems like getting it extracted would prevent any future infection. What I do know is that when the dentist told me my options, he seemed more confident about extraction versus a root canal.
@jaydubau8755
How does a root canal "save the tooth" if it is already dead? If it is not completely dead, it most definitely will be after the root canal and crown is added. It is essentially a glorified tooth corpse at that point.
@iiBadAsh
I had a filling fall out this year and because of covid it’s been hard getting into the dentist plus I’ve been really bad about taking care of my teeth so decay has occurred even more. 4 days ago I was eating dry cereal and WHAM the pain hit me like an ice pick through the jaw. My neck/cheek are swollen and it’s been throbbing constantly for 4 days now with intermittent severe (easily 9/10) pain which is accompanied by pressure that is only “relieved” by what feels like bubbles popping in/under the molar. Have you guys heard of bubbles like this occurring? At what point do you consider it a “dental emergency”? And is there ever cases where an extraction or root canal are done immediately? (I ask because my office is backed up for months and I think if I have to deal with this for one more day I will lose my mind). Update: It turns out when I munched down on the piece of cereal, it cracked my tooth open and the nerve was exposed; it became infected and the “bubbling” was a combination of swelling from the infection and exposure of the nerve. I had go on antibiotics for a week before they could pull it; on day 4 when I went to get it checked because it didn’t feel any better; they emergency extracted it, as they were worried the infection was dangerously close to being too far gone. I then had to take very strong antibiotics for a week after. The pain after having it extracted was 1/3rd of what it was having it in. Absolutely worth just getting it taken out.
@chadkline4268
Why all the problems with infections after a root canal? That seems to be the core problem. Why can't caps be used without root canals in most cases? Why can't a cap seal over pulp? How does removing the blood/lymph supply aid in eliminating infection? Why isn't it preserved to fight infection? What kills bone infection after a root canal? There's so many questions that are not answered in these dental videos.

I like the graphics they're pretty sweet. Nice video thank you

In 1970 I had a root canal done on my front tooth when I was 17. About 5 years ago I broke that tooth off at the gum line and had a ?glass post put there with crown which immediately got infected and I needed antibiotics. It was always a little tender in the gum, but nothing that really worried me. Last week I had my teeth polished and developed another abscess which is in the bone and gum. I have seen two dentists. The first who did the polishing has referred me to a endodontist for some kind of root canal but I cannot get in until October '22. The second said I need to have the front tooth removed and a bridge made or implant. I also have finished 5 days antibiotics again, but no change in abscess. I do not quite understand what the endodontist would do as I already had the root canal all those years ago. I don't want to lose the tooth. But I know that the infection can travel and I am very frightened of that. Any advice would be gratefully received.
@user-ls1lu7gu4u
Are root canals safe for your health long term. I’m hearing horror stories saying they can cause heart problems brain problems and cancer in time because of the toxicity
@SpudHead42
If it’s the rearmost molar, is there a problem with extracting it and not replacing it afterward? Other than the annoyance of missing a tooth.
@senyorty
I didn’t get a crown because I was so young now my tooth chipped because I waited 3 years and they said it might not be salvageable and i should get it extracted. I didn’t ask any questions because My parents were not there and I was in shock. I want to save the tooth but the dentist made it seem unlikely. Money isn’t really a issue because it’s my body and i’ll pay to save it. Should I attempt saving the tooth or extract it?
