Tooth pulled out and implant?

[sophxx]

I think I'm going to tl have to have a tooth pulled. I've had a root canal on it about 4months ago. 3 weeks ago a lump came up no pain but I had antibiotics as it was septic the lump went it completely drained but yesterday I woke up with that awful tooth ache you get. So if you have a tooth removed with local does it hurt? Does it bleed alot? How long did it take? I'm really scarred about it I've a review appointment at the end of the week.

Also I don't want a gap even though it's 2nd to the back so has any one had a implant?

Hi Soph,

I am a qualified dental nurse.

You shouldn't have ANY pain whatsoever when you have a tooth extracted. If you feel any pain, you must tell the dentist immediatly and they can give you more Local Anaesthetic. You WILL feel pressure and you WILL hear cracking/crunching noises, this is absolutely normal, do not panic.

You could also ask if the do relative anaesthesia at you dentist, which is basically G&A (like what you have in labour) it calms you down and makes everythinga bit hazy.

If you are really really scared, you could ask to be referred to your local hospital and have it done by a surgeon under General Anaesthetic.
But honestly, its really not that bad at all.

Can I ask which tooth it is that you will need out?

There are several options other than an implant if there will be a noticable gap between your teeth. I would go for an implant as the last resort as they are very expensive.

First option would be a plate (false tooth) I know what your thinging!! Urgh, dentures!! But if it's just for the one tooth, it is tiny and you wouldnt even notice its there.

Secondly, if the two teeth either side of the one you need to have out are healthy teeth, you could have a bridge fitted, which is two crown on either side of the gap and a 'false' porcelain tooth where the extracted tooth was.

If it's viable, the bridge is certainly what I would go for before an implant. Implants are very expensive and require a fair bit of surgery.

Hope this has helped

It's 2nd to the back molar there is a tooth either side the problem
Was caused by my brace they didn't clean the tooth properly. I'm going to the emergencey dentist today to see what they think fingers crossed it won't need pulled. I usually have fillings with out it being numbed and it's fine sonhopefully if it does have to be removed it won't be to bad with a local. X

I have had a very severe fear of the dentist for years, to the point I have only been when I have had pain so severe it cannot be controlled by painkillers. I used to cry every time I went in and could not go in on my own. This was made much worse by the fact that during one emergency appointment I actually felt the drilling and it did really hurt.

However, without going into what's a really long story, I have recently started going to the dentist again and obviously have needed a fair bit of treatment. I have had to have three teeth out sadly, one was a while ago during an emergency appointment and I wasn't nervous at all about having the two teeth out this time. It doesn't hurt at all and I wouldn't be nervous if I did need another out. I woudl rather have a tooth out than another root canal, that's for sure!

My OH had a tooth out and looked into an implant, they're about £2k!

If there is any root left could you get a crown? They're done on the NHS.

I had 4 teeth out for my braces and apart from one, where it wasn't numbed properly, they didn't hurt.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone my oh said he would pay for the implant but we will see. The dentist gave me 5 days of antibiotics and got to go back Friday for a review if it's still sore I guess he will remove it. The root canal was fine and it took a hour and half each appointment so I'm sure I can mange having one pulled out. X

I can't believe after posting this yesterday, I have also been awake all night with toothache!

Off to my old dentist this afternoon

 

[sophxx]

[BearsMummy]

Awe glad it's better.

Well I went today turns out tge emergencey dentist was wrong there's no abcess which is great my back wisdom tooth is stuck which is causing the pain in my jaw and pushing all my teeth so he's reffered me to the hospital for that and he's sending me private to some dentist with a fancy name to check the root canal under a microscope and clean in just to be 100 per cent it's perfect thank goodness I didn't let them pull the tooth on Tuesday at tge emergencey dentist so over all I'm alot happier I was in a right state this morning.

Urgh, Emergency dentists are the worst, they just want you in and out asap.

You should make a complaint.

Are you being referred to an endodontist? They specialise in Root Canal Treatment.

I had a tooth pulled a couple of years ago, my other teeth have slowly moved together and closed the gap

Yeh that's it. He took x rays yesterday and you could see all the roots are filled but because I have a little lump that's was like a spot on my gum he said he will send me there and get them to check it. Just so happy I don't have to loose it I'm not tonworried about the root canal
As I know whats comeing and it's not that bad if you know what I mean. Just wish these wisdom
Teeth would stop hurting he said te wait is really long to get a appointment for them. Hows your tooth feeling from the root canal? X

 

[BearsMummy]

Its not too bad today, I'm just being very tentative with it, as one of the cusps broke off yesterday. It never rains, but it pours!

Will you be having the wisdoms out?

 

[sophxx]

Yeh I've got to have them
Out at the hospital but it's a long wait. I've still got a little limp next to the root filled tooth but it's not spetic so I'm chuffed hopefully won't be long till I get my appointment at he private dentist. Are you having your tooth crowned I'm thinking about getting mine done or having it bleached as it looks sort of black. X

 

[BearsMummy]

I'm hoping to just get away with an inlay, rather than a full crown, but I'm not sure now that one of the cusps have broken off.

I hope you get your appointment soon.
