Question: My dentist told me that I need to have a Root Canal for the tooth in the back right side two years ago...?
But I put it off till now because of fear of pain and also because it's wicked expensive plus I do not have any dental coverage in my insurance.. Last night, 20% of the tooth fell out without any pain.. I think it is rotting inside.. I will definitely go to a dentist soon.. But is it too late.? How dangerous is this.?Health Question & Answer

mY DENTIST told me I needed one about 5 months ago.. After I finally got the money to have it 5 months later....it was too late and I had to get my tooth extracted :(
Its definately too late to save that tooth.. Uhh....when you have a rotten tooth its definately not good for you health....especially when its infected..
Rotten teeth can = an unhealthy heart.. People with tooth decay and gum disease may have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases..
When I had my extraction the dentist had to take my tooth out in pieces because the tooth was so weak from decay.. Extractions aren't fun at all!! He extracted my tooth after I made him try to do a root canal on it......it HURT! Hurry and rush to the dentist....usually when one tooth is bad....it can affect the surrounding teeth and cause decay.. also, bad breath..Health Question & Answer

Are you going to wait until infection sets in and you look like you have mumps.?
I just had a root canal three months ago.. The doctor provided me with all the novocaine I required and the procedure itself was 100% pain free.. Discomfort didn't set in until the novocaine wore off.. This was not my first root canal so I went prepared with an ice pack which I applied as soon as I reached the car.. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for several hours.. Finally, fell asleep and awoke pain free..
If your dentist says you need the root canal, you had better listen..Health Question & Answer

If your dentist told you two years ago that you needed one and now your tooth is falling apart then it is too late.. You will still want to go to the dentist and it is probably gonna have to get extracted..Health Question & Answer
That is why they were going to do the root canal........it sounds like the tooth is too far gone now..........probably just an extraction..........Health Question & Answer
