Absolutely make an appointment.  It's important to get them professionally cleaned at least once (preferably twice) a year.  Everyone gets plaque on their teeth, which can harbor bacteria...and it can only be removed with professional cleaning.  You don't want to end up with bad breath, gum disease, etc.....\nSmiles!  :)

My own dentist asked that I bring my daughters in for a check-up after they had gotten their first teeth. I have had rather extensive dental work done because of poor dental health as a child/young adult, so I am almost obsessive about taking them to the dentist. I don't want them to have to go through all the procedures I have. I took them with me to every visit I have had. (I checked with the staff prior to bringing them, just to make sure they were allowed to be there.) I think it has helped them quite a bit in being comfortable with the dentist environment. I've never had a problem getting them to go. Of course, they haven't had any cavities. If that ever happens, I might not be able to easily convince them to go back! :)

Your tooth should most definitely not still ache 10 months after a root canal.  It's possible that the root canal was done improperly and may need to be done again.  I would see a new dentist as soon as possible.  Ask around in your area about dentists and make sure to find a reputable one.

You were not damaged, so there is no basis for bringing charges.  You were just inconvenienced.  Start by asking for some of your money back.  Your dentist would probably be just as happy to see you go elsewhere, too.  If your dentist is not agreeable to this, contact the state dental association for your state (in the Yellow Pages) and see if there is a Peer Review Committee.

I don't know anyone who goes to the dentist unless they are in sheer pain!! Most people would rather go to the doctor and I believe 1x per year than anytime ever to the dentist.

Just a few weeks ago I had the remaining 2 molars in my mouth pulled out. When I was 17 years old I had my first root canal. The years proceeding I had 5 more. Let me just say that the next 10 years of my life was a nightmare. I was in pain every day. My face hurt, my joints hurt, I just didn't feel right. I saw multiple dentists and specialists who wanted to put me on narcotics. I finally found a dentist that would help me. He said that because I had been in pain for so many years that the best thing would be to remove them. Every single tooth that had a root canal done on it had infection and was decayed on the inside. None of this could be seen on any x-ray we looked at. My destist said "No wonder you don't feel good, you have been living with a pretty big infection in your face, for what looks like years." I am now 29 and I have no molars left in my mouth and I can easily say that I have spent a small fortune on dental work. I can also honestly say that I have not felt this good in 10 years. There has to be some truth to what you are saying. The day after I had my last infected molar pulled was the first day in about 5 years that I didn't have a headache. I didn't even need to take any pain medicine because I felt soooo much better. So obviously there has to be some connection there. My new dentist says that at dental school they are really teaching about implants now and that hopefully soon more dentists will go back for continuing education and learn about them. I am curious to see what others have to say about this. Good question.

Oh u can have a dentist send them to a lab and get them cleaned and polished to look great in no time. You may even be able to take them yourself. I work at a lab and its easy to make them look good again. Check with a nearby dr or see if there might be a dental lab in your area.

Well , i see it has been 8  hrs. and no answer.  I don't know answer, but I believe if you call the dentist's office and ask to speak to the insurance specialist, you will get the answer.  Never saw an office without an insurance specialist, and they are very knowledgable.

NO... you need to get into court before 10 years past... I had something similar happen to me and I didn't tell anyone tell almost 15 years after it happened... I went to a lawyer and he said that it would  have been recent... like in the past 10 years... so do it before it is too late!!!!!!!

I think there are probably several steps and&#92;or options.  Contacting any university that has a School of Dentistry should be able to provide you with this information.  If you have graduated from a School of Dentistry then your faculty advisor should also be able to assist you.
