Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 If I start extracting root canaled teeth, I'ed look like this . NOW that wouldn't be the worst trade-off I could make. After all I traded-off alcohol for sobriety. I traded off cigs for better lungs. I traded off women for peace-of-mind. SO, trading off root canals for hives isn't a bad deal: however, all of my teeth are now connected by permanent bridge work. The only support teeth on the bottom left & right are the rear molars. The tooth with the pocket in #28 front lower right. If it's pulled there's nothing to anchor the bridge to. Same on left side. All teeth top and bottom were ground down to nunbs to anchor bridge work. SO, tha trade off would be dentures. AND, no assurance of no hives. I truly don't know what to do. If I went dentures on the bottom then I will have tori to deal with. (tori are boney growths behind the lower front teeth). When I had oral surgery for the root canals, 2 tori were removed, but they grew back. The work I had done in '85 cost $10,000.00. Cash out of pocket. In todays market that's about $30,000.00. It too would be out of pocket. What I am going to do is take s' (of NJ) suggestion and have a tomography done. NOW, that's the whole story. I'll post more as it develops.
