My brother had a lower infected tooth & let it go untreated for a long time. He's an alcoholic so everything is numb. He ended up with a massive infection in his FACE... they had to ''go in' under his chin to drain the infection. A nurse had to come to his home everyday for a week to change the dressing & now has a huge scar/hole under his chin/jaw! And he had to go to hospital every morning at 8am, for a week, to get an IV antibiotic drip!

[@Lisa-kq4qi]

@@jeffrandolf5673 Wow! Yes, unfortunately an *untreated* abscessed (infected) tooth may reportedly possibly lead to infection spreading to the "jawbone, the soft tissues of your face and beyond." Even though said to be extremely rare, the untreated abscess may reportedly also spread to the heart (endocarditis) and/or brain (bacterial meningitis).

I went to 3D Endodontics in Manhattan. Dr. Deblinger used a microscope. I was well numbed. The policy is to get treatment with disinfectant / medicine in the tooth root, then reevaluation 3 weeks from the 1st visit to confirm the infection is cleared before the temporary filling by the endodontist is replaced by the permanent filling by the general / cosmetic dentist. I appreciate this thorough approach. Imagine if you had a permanent filling, but you still had an infection that your body didn't clear! I like double checking. I didn't have pain, so far, 3 root canals!

[@mparthur144]

How much did it cost for the entire procedure?

[@AriannaAyers]

@@mparthur144 For tooth #9, I was billed $2,600, and that tooth was treated twice within 3 weeks for that price. For tooth #3, I was billed the same price, and treated once. For tooth #18, I was billed $2,800, and treated once. It is a molar, and had 3 “roots” that required clearance. Metal posts were not used. For tooth #9, by the cosmetic and general dentist, he filled the area for $750. My usual cosmetic dentist, William Dorfman in LA did the work. Tooth #3, there was a gold inlay used (a bit like a super filling), and I was billed close to $4,000. My NY dentist, David Binder, DDS did it. He’s a star at the very reliable, bio inert gold inlay, which allowed me to save the tooth. Tooth # 18 was billed $5,000 for a porcelain crown, and 3 posts. Larry Rosenthal, DDS, a Manhattan cosmetic dentist did the work. He is famous, but I was unsatisfied. The colour is completely off, he didn’t wear a mask until I objected, getting through to the front desk was a nightmare, and I was upsold a lot. A plus is that he has good taste in music, and a decent bedside demeanor.

[@AriannaAyers]

@@mparthur144 So, each tooth had $2.6K for root canal plus $750 - $5K additional for the permanent filling, gold inlay, or porcelain crown. I chose gold for the back molar, because it is so reliable. Porcelain looks great, but is much more fragile.

[@kaystephan2610]

@@AriannaAyers Those prices are insane. I had a root canal done ~1½ weeks ago with all the stuff you'd need. Nerve got removed, both of the 2 canals were flushed with several different disinfectants, then a temporary filling with some pain numbing agent was put it in and it was temporarily sealed until I get the permanent filling in a couple days ok February 3rd. Whole thing cost me 220€ (110€/canal). And that was for the extra procedures in addition to the stuff that's covered by healthcare. Had I chosen the standard procedure it would've been completely covered by my healthcare provider lol. The prices you people in the US pay are orderline insane rip offs.

I had a root canal performed and two years later, my gum was red as can be with a pus forming on it without any pain. Apparently, my root canal was infected as a result of the bacteria forming below the root of my tooth. I went to the endodontist to get it to get it treated. And in doing so, the endodontist drained the dental abscess. Then, he performed a bone graft by surgically lifting up my gums in order to insert bovine paste that was damaged by the root infection. And I was told by him that it takes about six month for the tooth graft to heal. In the meantime, I was prescribed hydrocodone to relieve the pain. I've learned that at least 10% of all root canals are not going to be successful such as in my case.

I went 3.5 years without going to the dentist. Check up looked really good except, there was an absence. So i made a dentist appointment for two weeks before, a few days later my tooth felt sore, I though maybe from my grinding. It felt weird when I tapped my head. A day later it was fine. Later my cheek felt soar and I though it was a cancer sore as I get a lot of those. I kept trying to locate it. About a week later, I feel a bump. So I felt the bump on Thursday and had the appointment on Monday, 4 days later. Xray showed an infection and they scheduled a root canal for this thursday. X-ray showed no decay and I never really fell much pain throughout this time. In 2019 i had a silver fillimg replaced with a white one. Thay tooth always felt weird but never uncomfortable after the filling. They said aome people don't react well with the white fillings.

[@Lisa-kq4qi]

It's my understanding that sometimes a tooth abscess (infection) may not necessarily have pain, such as if the root has died, but it's still supposed to be required to either get a root canal or tooth extraction, the latter such as if the tooth can't be saved and/or the extraction may cost less money than the root canal and dental crown. On that note, however, the person will then apparently have a space between his or her teeth, so may need to save up for a dental bridge or other tooth replacement to help prevent bone loss, for instance.

Or have the tooth extracted because in Australia root canal treatment costs $3000 AUD per tooth,my parents have had to get a tooth extraction done because they couldn't afford the root canal procedure. Last year I got a filling in one of my wisdom teeth which had a deep cavity under a previous filling & it was very close to the nerve so the 3 options hr gave me was 1 . Tooth extraction, 2. To drill out & fill the cavity, 3. A referral to an endodontist to have the root canal procedure carried out. I took option 2 which was to have the cavity filled but he said that if that pain that I was having in that side of my jaw didn't go away that option 1 will need to be carried out. It's just a wisdom tooth which I don't really need anyway & about $400 AUD for the X ray & filling was a lot cheaper than the root canal procedure !

I want to go to the dentist but it's so expensive just to get it treated 😭 Teeth and mouth healthcare shouldn't be so expensive if it's so important and can have major repercussions on the body if left untreated.. I have no idea what to do, I've been constantly taking medication just to numb the pain and eating is such a struggle that I'd rather starve.

Then the root canal will get infected over and over until the patient gives up and has the tooth extracted. Root canals have been heavily researched and proven to be dangerous to overall health.

[@peninaowiti1630]

It's quite unfortunate that some dentists won't tell you that or even give you an option of extraction. In most cases they're just after making money and not genuinely concerned about the long term effects and health

Recently I have a pimple/cyst that is right in between 2 of my bottom teeth. It isn't the middle bottom teeth but a bit to the right. When I brush the area, it bleeds. But if I don't brush it, there isn't any pain at all. Now if I move my tongue around to feel it, there isn't any pain at all... maybe a little discomfort. Is this a peridontal abscess 100%? The thing is there are very few pictures I found online that show it right between two bottom teeth... most of it is either above or below the teeth. Is this gingival abscess then? I use listerine mouthwash on it in the meantime. But do you need to see a dentist real soon for this or not? Also what would they do to it? Do you always have to either get the tooth remove or a root canal? Or could they drain it or deep clean it or give it antibiotics and that would fix it? Planning to also get deep cleaning done on my teeth as I haven't done in years. But what about this abscess if it one? Will dentist drain it first and then weeks later I can deep clean teeth later?

Sounds like an abscess Good to hear it doesn’t hurt! Mine is causing a lot of pain! And my jawbone has swollen up but I left it untreated for a few weeks so definitely go get it checked out before it becomes painful. It will only get worse. Trust me, you don’t wanna experience this! If it’s not causing pain, then leave it for the dentist to drain. Untreated it could cause serious issues so definitely get it checked out.

[@TheMonimator]

​@@kamzbxsir1621 Sorry for responding so late but when about did the pain kick in? By the time I made this comment it has been 2 and a half weeks since I first saw the abcess appear in my gums. Also mine presumably popped by itself I genuinely dont know if it happened while I was eating or anything so I immediately rinsed my mouth. Their is still no pain and the slight swelling has gone down. Ive tried gargling with warm salt water, softer brushing and being more cautious of what Im eating. I haven't seen my dentist/orthodontist yet but Im still curious if the abcess may come back.

[@publigirl5]

To everyone who's gonna have a root canal, hear it from me, after the procedure is done make sure to get an x ray, will help you verifying, the endodontist did his job well, mine just treated the first half, and I didn't know, years later I got a very mild pain, then is when I found out, another dentist told me, and I saw the x ray, the bottom half was empty, not treatment at all. 😢😢😢😢

Why do you have to waiting for swelling to go down before draining the abscess ??

Because there is too much pus making it hard to clean it properly

It will be very painful , think , that’s what my dentist did .. gave me antibiotics for 4 days pain settled down , than he opened up the tooth to clean it and than he drained the abscess and gave antibiotics for another 5 days. Than called back in to check for infection and completed the root canal … now I will be going in next week for crown.. the whole process is taking about 3 weeks , which he did explain that he wants to make sure the infection is completely gone and this will require multiple visits so we can save the tooth
