Re: Re: Sensitive gums to Patty

Patty...I'm so sorry to hear about your dental problems...funny because I had to had numerous root canals over the last 15 years. Lost a back tooth 8 years ago and then had a bad infection in another that an entodontis tried to fix, but ultimately lost that one also, thus I need a bridge. Never attributed any of this to the implants. Shirley

That's what I am dealing with now. I just had two root canals done, and the pain in my teeth was unbearable. I never had any major dental issues before. Now, suddenly, I have this weird gumline decay that went deep into the gum, requiring the root canals on two adjacent teeth. I have also had more problems with receding gums, and had to have the gumline filling as well. That was not painful though.With the root canals, it was a burning feeling, definitely the nerves. It also resulted in what my dentist called "referred pain", where the upper teeth were also affected by pain, although the decay was only in my bottom teeth. That referred pain has pretty much gone away.(Now to add drama to this stupid mess, I found out Monday that the slim stainless steel file the endodontist used to dig

deep into the root of my tooth accidentally broke off in my root. He didn't tell me, but tried to retrieve it on the second visit, where I was supposed to get the gutta percha filling and be done. He was not successful. Instead, I have to go back in a couple weeks so he can give it a third attempt at retrieval. He told me that if he can't get it out, he will leave it in there and fill in the gutta percha around it. I don't think so! I am allergic to metals! He claims that these things just sometimes happen. Hmmmm.)I don't know what the connection is, but I have certainly heard from many women who have experienced strange and unusual dental issues since getting implants.
