I had that happen to me.
This is tough for me to watch as my son who wanted braces so bad had an accident at the gym. Thank GOD they didn't remove his braces yet but a weights bar hit the front of his teeth and damaged his 3 front teeth. I am still traumatized by it. Thousands of dollars for braces and his teeth looked so beautiful only to now have 3 of them receive root canals. My daughter has one too. I have one and pray that we stay healthy.

I spoke with my dentist just yesterday about this and root canals, if done safely by a good dentist, are completely safe.

The alternative is having a tooth pulled and spending thousands of dollars on an implant.

My girlfriend has had an abscessed tooth for three months and refuses to get a root canal, I am concerned the infection will turn into her bloodstream.

I had a root canal this Spring and I needed one because I believed the conspiracy theories I'd read about dentistry-actually had 15000 worth of dental work this past year because of my own gullibility.

I've had a few myself way back yonder.....thanks for the info, Sweet, Lady 😁😉

It is not my area, but it seems the concerns I remember had to do with metal used to support the teeth after the procedure. My understanding is that there are alternative materials they can use now, so perhaps that is a path to research. Not all medical or dental care is bad and informing oneself about the different options may help alleviate the anxiety.

As soon as I get some money saved up, I'm getting rid of the crown I have and getting an implant.

fyi just as dangerous cause its metal. with med beds our teeth will be totally restored intact.. dont forget about this beautiful future!!
