I wish that I had watched this video earlier. Your channel is a very reliable source of oral health and dental treatments. I would like to know whether a loose tooth should be extracted if there is no pain and inflammation around it but it is useless for chewing foods.

Glad that you're finding my videos to be helpful. Removing or keeping a loose tooth depends on several factors. First off, is it one loose tooth or multiple loose teeth? If it's just one loose tooth, then it's usually best to remove it. If there are several loose teeth, then it's best to seek other treatment whenever possible (gum treatment, splinting, etc). The other factor to consider is infection. Is your loose tooth so loose that it is causing bone loss? If so, then you're better off removing the tooth as the bone loss can damage your jaw and spread to neighboring teeth. There are people with loose teeth that go on to keep their loose teeth for many years. You'd want to work closely with your dentist and maintain immaculate hygiene if that is the case.

@@johnjazayeri Thank you very much for your reply. Somehow the mantra that we should keep our natural teeth no matter what seems to have rooted deeply into my brain. For years I was trying to keep the inflamed and painful teeth. I finally came to my senses and got them extracted. I am finally pain free. I am now waiting for the gum to heal before getting dental implants or a partial denture depending on whether I am a suitable candidate for implants. Now I have this very loose upper right incisor, which bothers me. I have let go of the bad teeth but still find very hard to have a loose but painless tooth extracted. I am so glad I wrote to you, and you answered and gave me the guidance. Thank you ever so much.

My eye teeth didn’t drop down until I was about 17 and when they did demolished everything around them that along with my crippling fear is why I have to get full top and bottom dentures at 29 years old in exactly 25 days from today. 20 extractions is what I’m facing with absolutely zero sedation only numbing shots. Petrified but I have to do it

This is making me second guess my latest dentist....I had a tooth pulled, back molar, that he had just put a filling in 9 months prior. I had gas and a twilight type of pill crushed and under my tongue. No IV. He said he put in a bone graft too. my bill with Denti Cal was 1400. Seems awfully high? He now wants to do a root canal or extract the tooth next to the one he pulled. Again with Denti Cal he is quoting 2800 for the root canal amd 4500 for extract and implant. I hope he isn't over charging 😵

Hi Justine. Sorry to hear about your poor dental experience. I'm not quite sure why a tooth that had a filling had to be removed within 9 months. Still, losing one back molar is not nearly as bad as losing both of your molars! The fees which you quoted me sound fairly high, especially given that you have Denti-cal. They actually seem similar to private dentist fees. I just hope you don't end up paying for a root canal and crown, and then a dental implant a year later. Feel free to shoot me your X-rays for a complimentary second opinion to TPMyMouth at gmail.com. Best of luck!

Hi Dr. Thanks for your informative videos. I had my failed root canal tooth extracted yesterday. Is it normal once the blood clot is formed, on second day to see formation of white granules on the clot?
@johnjazayeri

Hi there. Congratulations on your treatment! The white granules are perfectly fine. They are either the bone graft practices, gum tissue, or plaque that builds up on the surgery site. Do not try to clean them. Let it heal by itself. Best of luck!

@@johnjazayeri Thank you very much for your reply doctor. Still in pain and got swelling on day 4 but less than second day. Woke up with a bad migraine on day 4. I asked the emergency doctor to prescribe antibiotics for me because till early hours of day 3 pus was coming out by the side of the blood clot when I touched my cheek. I got very worried and asked my GP to prescribe antibiotics but have not had them yet. There is a thick yellow stuff on the extracted tooth. No temperature. Shall I start the antibiotics?

What if a crowned tooth develops large root cavity? Is this worth saving
@johnjazayeri
Жыл бұрын
Crowned teeth can develop root decay. Lots of people are shocked by this fact, but yes, teeth with crowns can develop[ cavities over time. When this happens you either need to redo the crown (possibly with a root canal) or remove the tooth entirely (and place a dental implant if you'd like). Unfortunately, you can NOT fix a cavity underneath a crown. In other words, you can't really do a filling when the tooth already has a crown. Instead, you have to remove the crown, clean out the cavity, and make a new crown. Which option is best depends on several factors. If the crown has been there for decades, the cavity is small, and your teeth have generally been sturdy and solid, go ahead and redo the crown and save your tooth. If however your crown failed within a few short years, the cavity is extensive, or you have been losing teeth at a rapid pace in recent years, then cut your loses and remove the tooth instead.

I have to extract my 2nd upper premolar (13). Half the tooth is broken off at or slightly below the gum line and the other half (front facing) looks fine. The root is infected but it only hurts it I tap on the tooth and sometimes when eating. I read that if a tooth is broken off completely at the gum line, it needs a surgical extraction. The remaining half of my tooth seems solid. Could this tooth be extracted with local anesthesia without cutting into the gum or jaw? If I need a surgical extraction, can it be done with local anesthesia.
@johnjazayeri

Hi Bill. It sounds like you definitely need to remove the tooth if there's not much left and it's infected. Also, upper 2nd premolars have two roots which makes them very fragile and very likely to break should you waste your money on a root canal. Luckily, the surgery is straightforward for an oral surgeon or dentist skilled at removing teeth. They may be able to pull the tooth in one piece. Other times, they may cut the two roots and take them out separately. Local anesthesia is all you should need. If you're nervous, a little Nitrous gas would take the edge off, but you won't need anything stronger than that. That area has little innervation, so it's an easy area to numb up. Good luck with your treatment!

@@johnjazayeri Thank you. One other concern. I was overdue for a dental cleaning when covid started and stayed away for another 3 years during the pandemic. I saw a dentist recently and he referred me to an oral surgeon to have my 2nd upper premolar pulled. Is it safe to have an extraction without scheduling a cleaning first. I have quite a bit of tarter build up. I'm concerned about an infection.
