why is my dentist doing this?

The price is the same for a root canal whether it is completely in 1 visit or 3 visits.  Contrary to what the person above me stated, the dentist is not making anymore money by having you return to complete the root canal.  Many general dentists take more than one visit to complete a root canal because it is so time consuming and depending on the tooth, multiple roots.  The reason it is 2 weeks out could very possibly be that she doesn't have any appointments available until then.  Bottom line.. it is very common for general dentists to complete a root canal in 2 visits.

No, it's not normal!  Go back to your dentist and get x-rayed.  If he again says it's nothing, go to your doctor.  Something is clearly wrong that is causing the area to be inflamed (the swelling).

its just from having dental work. Your teeth are still probably adjusting to the filling. thats my guess. My teeth do it too but it takes awhile til i get used to it, then by that time it just stops. Also check your tooth paste. I changed mine cause dispite having dental work my teeth were even more sensitive then should of been.

you could also be clamping down on your teeth at night. and yes-if your teeth are impacted then maybe it is the cause. simple xrays at your dentist could probably figure it out for you

probably negligence, if u hadn't been to see him for some time before that visit where he identified the problem, it could have constituted why he didn't recognize it. \n\ntalking to yr lawyer won't hurt though.\n\nhowever for similar cases of eroding the enamel along the gum line....sometimes composite (white) fillings that cover the buckle of the teeth might be sufficient to reduce sensitivity. check with another dentist first!

Not after a month has passed.  Go back to the dentist before it leads to further problems.

Okay....SUE! Okay first of all it's his JOB to first EXPLAIN to you first the procedure, what he's doing, and the DANGER! Root canals can be dangerous and if he didn't bother to tell you then GOSH GOLLY right there you could of sued him. Plus, from what i can see, it looks like he was attempting to SCAM you too. Probably by forcing you to pay for a procedure you didn't even know you were having. I mean did he even bother to explain why he was doing it anyways? Plus, you spend a lot of money. He should recompensate you anyways for your expenses. Maybe you can get him for pinutive damages too.

Have a consult with your dentist...

It is a lot of work. The easiest would be to bring it to a dental technicians laboratory and have it cleaned. Better not to use this cushioning material, because this covers up the real problem either a bad fitting denture or changes in the bone/ gum that need to be checked by a dentist.

I had mine removed and it was a piece of cake. They knock you out so you don't feel a thing.  If you aren't having any problems then I wouldn't worry about them.  If your dentist recommends getting them out, then I would inquire more at that time.  No need to worry now.

That sounds like something the Dentist gives before doing work in your mouth.

Call around to find another dentist but most won't touch you these days if you have not been to the dentist. This is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Nothing hurts worse than a toothache. You will need more than one appointment.\n\nGood luck!\nG.G.

You are making a small battery and experiencing "galvanic shock" due to a reaction between your saliva, your fillings and the aluminum foil.\n\nSearch "electromotive series" for thousands of references.

I have recently had root treatment on two seperate teeth, I ended up having to get one of them out!! a week later ,so I say no , just ask for extraction , Dentists say they are trying to save our teeth but in fact are making a huge ammount of money from unsuspecting patients, who are usually at their wits end with pain when they visit the dentist in the first place, that they will agree to anything the god like dentist is suggesting !!

Although I am not familiar with this, the problem isn't with your teeth - its in the gums.  Try proper brushing techniques.

Go back to the dentist and have him/her to remove that!

That's a dead tooth, you need to see your dentist. The tooth will probably have to be removed and replaced.
