Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 YES!!! But it wasn't the tooth and it wasn't the sinus. It was TMJ. I went to a chiropractor who adjusted my jaw - no more pain. It was caused by having my mouth open so long during the root canal. He also taught me a way to minimize the pain and/or remove the problem by myself. I will try and explain: If you open your mouth wide. Put your thumb inside and fingers outside - at the back where the jaw hinges there is a muscle running from top to bottom. Massage the muscle, it should release the tension. If doing this helps the pain, then you know the problem. Do it several times. Also starting at the ear - on the outside, pull the muscles downward very slowly while you slowly open your mouth. Also repeat. This should help. Let me know if it helps. from Canada danielle locke <tasdlocke@...> wrote: This is the strangest thing. About 5 months ago, a tooth that had a root canal done began too ache.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Could be the tooth next to the root canal tooth, going bad and include an abcess. Could be sinus and swelling from whatever caused those other symptoms. Have heard that sometimes abcesses don't show on xray, so don't let things go on too long without resolving. danielle locke <tasdlocke@...> wrote: This is the strangest thing.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Definitely need to treat the sinuses. Here are some places to look. All look very good. www.nutribiotic.com (grapefruit seed extract) www.xlear.com (xylitol) www.sinusbuster.com (capsacin) www.sinolusa.com (capsacin) For your whole health do plenty of antioxidants, and probiotics. O's need to be careful that the immune system doesn't become overactive from the overload. Keep balanced. danielle locke <tasdlocke@...> wrote: I just found a pretty interesting site.

I am taking everyone's advice and going back to the dentist just to be sure. Any tips to make this cold leave faster? I think my boys may be getting it too. Soooooo many people here in the gulf coast have so many respiratory problems because of all the debris and clean up going on from hurricane Katrina. There is everything from dirt,insulation,mold, you name it flying around in the air. It flies off the trucks. The house across the street from me flooded (5ft of water) and the owners just left it. There is black mold growing all over the inside of the walls. I would not dare go inside but some of the other neighbors have been in there.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 About the time I had a root canal, my bite was also changing, it seems partly from age, and perhaps partly from the new crown being a little high for a while. Also I found out that I was sometimes grinding my teeth while sleeping. I got TMJ *and* toothache. The dentist filed down a tooth or two and fitted me with a mouth guard for nighttime. It's been years since my root canal but if I don't wear that guard, I risk having the tooth ache terribly the next day. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I may grind my teeth too. Sometimes when I wake up it seems like my jaws are clenched pretty tight. Also, I notice that I dream ALOT... I can recall dreams and it just feels like I dream all night so I may be clenching my teeth from that. I am going to the Dentist first thing in the morning. We will see what he says THIS time mcpherson.bg@... wrote: About the time I had a root canal, my bite was also changing, it seems partly from age, and perhaps partly from the new crown being a little high for a while.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Max, did they do an apical surgery to repair or did they go through the crown? I just think I should pull it out if the sinus protocol Merrill gave me does not do the trick. I may have both problems at the same time sinus pressure and a failed root canal.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I had a crown put on and then severe pain in that tooth and all around it. I ended up having a root canal through the crown and then they just filled in the small hole in the crown.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Try EFT (emotional freedom technique) from Dr. Mercola's site. It should be effective for jaw tension. I have used it for tons of things--though more for emotional pain. I'm presently trying it for eye tension which I believe helped cause my vision problems. I did a lot of squining. did not want to wear glasses when I was in grade/high school over 45 years ago. I think my eyes just " held " this tension.

It turns out that a lot of root canals that were done before digital xrays came on the scene (and most dentists still do not have digital xrays) were improperly done. That does not mean the nerve was not removed properly. It means the tooth root/s were not all sealed properly at the TIP. So if the root canal material goes less than all the way to the tip - the tip will be unsealed. that matters because tooth material - dentine - is full of channels, and bacteria can get through it to the root canal - the hollow pulp where the root canal is supposed to be filled all the way down. If the tip is sealed - the bacteria can not get UNDEr the tooth to cause infection there. If the tooth root tip (or some root tips in a tooth with multiple roots) are not all sealed at the tip - then bacteria can get under the tooth down the canal and cause a re-infection - a chronic one. To fix it - you either need to redo the root canal from the usual tooth end - or if the tooth partly calcified in the meantime, a drill will not go through that - then you have to get at it to seal it from the jawbone end - through the jawbone by surgery. As I found out the hard way on 5 root canals I just had repaired the hard way. They were originally done in the days when dentists did not understand the relevance of filling the canal in a way that sealed the root tip. I have long roots and so in my case, maybe the standard things put in the root canals were too short - but also they only filled one root of a tooth with three - and you need to fill all the canals. You can think of the root hollow as a funnel to funnel bacteria down to below - unless there's a plug in the funnel at the bottom. Research also shows a positive statistical correlation with cancer especially breast cancer - with root canals that were improperly done resulting in repeat chronic infection below the tooth. So my advice with the current painful surgical discoveries as part of my educational experience here - is that you go to a dentist who uses digital xrays (also less radiation, no lead aprons needed) as the old stuff is like a smear from a squashed fly in comparison; and your teeth need long-term handling to last a lifetime without hassles to health more than just the teeth themselves.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hello Irene, funny you would reply today about the whole tooth/sinus trouble email... The original tooth that was hurting in the bone(root) structure of my face is fine!!! I took a round of clindamycin and no more pain. NOW if I press right next to my left nostril it hurts like mad all the way up to the orbit of my eye(lower portion) and the pain goes right into my tooth at the roots. which by the way is a different tooth than last time. (2 teeth closer to the front of my face) This is driving me nuts. The dentist doesn't see anything wrong and I have not had any dental work on this tooth in the past. I am at a loss for words now. Is it sinus? is it tooth? who can help me? what can I do? Irene de Villiers <furryboots@...> wrote: Maddviking@... wrote: > I had a root canal that didn't take.

I am at a loss for words now. Is it sinus? is it tooth? There are dentists who believe that the roots of some teeth (wisdom teeth in particular) may extend through the sinus wall. Sounds like something is touching a nerve or bacteria from a decayed tooth may be getting into your sinus. You might want to go see an eye, nose, and throat doctor. Nothing to mess around with.

Is it sinus? is it tooth? who can help me? what can I do? > >> Have you had a *digital* xray done - these can be blown up so the tooth is more than a foot tall with total clarity. You can't miss what's happening then. (A regular xray is nothing more than a smear by comparison; it is useless.) I would suggest seeing a dental specialist who has digital xray capability - so you can find out what's going on there. Good luck!

And you don't have argyria yet? Do you know how fast it occurs? One day it's not there- next day you look like a corpse - and there are other nasty symptoms from use of heavy metal poisoning as an antibiotic. It's an antibiotic all right - it's just not my idea of a safe one. It does nothing good for your cells, and nor does it discourage a repeat infection - on the contrary - it leaves toxins behind so the cells are less healthy than before. My choice for infections is Pyrogenium 200c or Calendula 200C or whatever homeopathic remedy matches better. Currently I use Pyrogenium 200c for all the infections I have or had as it addresses anything pus-related. But I also add remedies to repair the tissues damaged by the infections (arnica for muscles and soft tissue; symphytum for bone; hypericum and allium cepa for nerves after surgery; calc phos tissue salt for re-calcification after bone surgery). It's a bit more involved than just one toxin to kill bacteria without addressing why there was susceptibility to bacteria in the first place - but it is a long-term health strategy to prevent recurrence and which will build tissue strength and health. I wish there were more people familiar with how to use homeopathy however - it can be hard to find someone trained well. My own specialist is a naturopath but I am telling him which remedies work after his surgery on me :-)) Strange world we live in:-) Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom.
