Tooth Regeneration Gel Could Replace Painful Fillings

Did the dried gum stay in as a filling would, or did it cause the tooth to grow back and just fall out or were you kidding?”

Actually stayed in place for a little while, kept the cold air out of the cavity when I breathed in, so cut down on the pain A LITTLE, until I got it yanked...still hurt...when I said it worked like you would think, I was kind of kidding...it wasn’t great, but it helped a while...

Sounds like what my ortho put in my back when he did fusion to avoid having to do a bone graft from my hip. Worked enormously well for me - he’s the nearest thing to Jesus as far as I’m concerned. I heard they had to stop using it though. Don’t know why.

The very thought of going through another one makes me shudder!

You need a better endodontist. I've had several and have had no problems.

Doesn’t the novacaine help?

Well, the novocaine helps a bit, but it still feels as if they are pulling out pieces of brain. (That could explain my current state of goofiness.)

I have had root canals by 2 different dentists, and it has always been horrible! I have not been to an endodontist. Maybe they have better drugs. ;-)

Or, perhaps I am just a wimp.

I had one root canal done by a regular dentist (DMD) that later had to be redone by an endodontist. The first guy missed one of the roots.

Some DMDs just don’t want to pass up the business. Technically they have the knowledge and skill to do the job, but they don’t have the specialized equipment and training to do it right.

If your dentist doesn’t refer you to a specialist for things like root canals, dental surgery and gum problems (periodontist) then they are most likely in this category.

Also...if a dentist blows a procedure...find another dentist. There are a lot of bad dentists out there. My dad was a dental surgeon and he had a very low opinion of most dentists.

That certainly is a disturbing, yet enlightening trend.

Young people diving headfirst into the occult in order to “belong” or to have some sort of “power”.

On the bright side, since they’re seeking something bigger than themselves, they’d be more open to the truth of the Gospel than some others.

Sounds terrible. My aunt, about two years ago, had her fingernail bitten by her husband. She was feeding him something and he accidentally bit down on her finger. She has had so many problems since, infections and what not. She recently had to have her fingernail bed lasered. The doctor told her it would be painful and to hold her breath and hold on to something. The laser was only about a second but she said on a scale of 1 to 10 it was an 11. The thought of someone messing with my fingernail bed sends heeeby geebys up my spine.

Ouchie!

This is why I avoid doctors as much as possible. ;-)
