anyone had root canals done?

[adelaidedeb]

hi i am looking at everything that can be causing my horrible symptoms and still no doctor knows what is wrong with me its a nightmare. I have a root canal at the front that plays up and never felt right. I have read there is a lot of bacteria that goes in your bloodstream and can cause other diseases in the body. I would have to rip the tooth out and get it cleaned up i know it would cost a fortune but... i wonder if that has anything to do with what i have

If the root canal was done properly, it shouldn't be a problem. I know I have some. If the tooth is causing pain, they can remove the filling and redo the canal --- not pleasant, but I had one done.

Well i know that with my root canal that i had done...it felt ok for a while and then it kept bugging me so they numbed it up and cleaned it up and did a crown on it....and now i don't feel a thing...well there are no roots or nerves there anymore just a gold tooth so thats probably why i feel nothing from it....:lmao:
but yeah you might want to consider that since after the root canal it just hurt and was so sensitive so they totally cleaned it out and put a crown on it and it was fine....
i always have prophylactic antibiotics because of my heart defect but maybe you can either see if there is a possible infection or do the prophylactic antibiotics and get a crown done.....i know the crown is a bit expensive but i am quite sure it was cheaper than getting the tooth out....(i don't have any coverage for dental so it is quite expensive for me too...)
and yeah i am not sure about diseases being caused by bacteria in the mouth...
my friend who was a dental assistant would know though....totally forget all that stuff...
but i am sure you can ask your dentist or doc about it.....i know that there are chances of strep and staph infections from it but i forget the other diseases that can happen from the bacteria in your mouth....i know jaw problems too and stomach problems and for some reason i think there is an eye problem you can get or something....totally forget.....
my friend would always tell me all of them to make sure i would brush my teeth (even though i did brush them but when she was an assistant she gave me lectures about how to brush and stuff.....:rolleyes:)
anyway i hope this sorta helps....
i hope you find out some type of relief for it soon....:pray::pray:
take care and take it easy and make sure to brush your teeth twice a day :rolleyes::lmao:

but i have heard it doesnt matter if you clean out the tooth there will always be bacteria there that cant be wiped out. Most dentists here in aussie will just think what they think and say you cant get bacteria there if its dont properly or not done properly. I need to find a good dentist that will clean it out after the tooth is pulled. Umm never know what to think

I have had a couple done. It wasn't too bad for me.

yeah i have never heard that....
i just know that if they are worried they just give you some antibiotics for a bit and then thats that....
i don't know if they need to get the tooth out or not....just know with me i had a bit of antibiotics and that was that....:rolleyes:
but i think we all need to take every lil info with a grain of salt....since who really knows for sure about anything....:rolleyes:
well i hope you get it resolved anyway.....whichever you choose to do....

I have had a handful of Root Canals over the years, not very pleasant considering that i am a big chicken when it comes to going to the dentist-- I shake all over-seriously as I had a bad experience when I was younger. The dentist won't give me anything to calm me down but the cardio office since I have to have antibotics due to my heart valve they will give it to me.

Are you asking, though, if the tooth problem could be leading to your bladder symptoms?
