Re: No.4 tooth that has had root canal is failing- My health is related.

MH, are you saying that cleaning the socket with a burr or some other method & removing the periodontal ligament is unnecessary?

99+% OF ALL DENTIST NEVER REMOVE THE SOCKET

BY DOING SO, YOU ARE 100% INSURING A THIRD TOOTH WILL NEVER APPEAR AND THAT REALLY DOES NOT MATTER, BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT STOPPED HAPPENING ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO AS PEOPLE HAVE BECAME TOO TOXIC.

THE DENTIST THAT SPECIALIZE IN REMOVING THE SOCKET CHARGE $$$$$ DOUBLE THE COST. OFTEN $450+ FOR PULLING THE TOOTH AND ANOTHER $450 FOR CLEANING OUT THE SOCKET………..

WHILE YOUR DENTURE DENTIST USE TO DO IT FOR ABOUT $50

HEN I HAD MY ROOT CANALS DONE, I TOLD THE DENTIST HE COULD REMOVE THE SOCKET, BUT THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT---AFTER ALL, THE AMOUNT OF $$$ THEY GOT MY INSURANCE FOR WAS CRAZY FOR WHAT LITTLE WORK THEY DO AND THE DENTIST DID IT AT NO EXTRA COST-----AFTER ALL, WHAT DOES IT TAKE, ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES TO DO AND COST THEM NOTHING.

THE ADVANTAGE OF REMOVING THE SOCKET IS LESS INFECTION. WHEN YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE SOCKET, ALL THE PIECES EVENTUALLY DISSOLVE AWAY OR WORK THEIR WAY UP THROUGH YOUR GUMS……

REMOVING THE SOCKET MAKES A LARGER HOLE IN YOUR GUM----- I HAVE HAD BOTH METHODS DONE AND THE END RESULTS ARE ALL THE SAME. IF YOU HAVE THE EXTRA $$$ AND WANT THE SOCKETS CLEANED THAT IS FINE, IT SPEEDS UP THE HEALING IN MY OPINION….COST WISE IT IS ALL A RIP OFF.

A DENTIST WILL EITHER USE A LIFTER TOOL TO LIFT YOUR TOOTH OUT OR SPLIT IT WITH THE DRILL AND SIMPLY AND EASILY PEEL IT OUT……….I HAVE ONLY EVER KNOWN 1 DENTIST TO SPLIT THE TOOTH…….IT WAS SO EASY, MOST PAINLESS METHOD OF THEM ALL…….HE WAS THE DENTIST OF THE LATE SUPERMAN…THE ONE THAT BROKE HIS NECK.


Or are you just saying that getting a bad tooth pulled without the extra steps is better than not getting it pulled at all or waiting? It seems this extra step is crucial.

IF YOU HAVE THE $$$ CLEANING THE SOCKET IS FINE. WILL SAVE YOU A LITTLE PAIN AND INFECTION.
