Suggest treatment for tooth pain with breaking off into bits
Patient: good morning, I am 37 year old having problem in my teeth.20 years back I had pain in my teeth during my examination perriod . doctor suggested me for RCT and given NISE tablet. After taking tablet my pain get subside, and later on that start to break in particles without much pain. so it was ignored. but now only root is left without to much pain. should i go to doctor for complete removal of it. what will be expected cost. I do not take tobacco,smoking or beetle leaf Doctor: Hi Sir,When a patient with similar problem like yours visits my clinic, I will first check the integrity of the remaining root.I will examine clinically and take X-ray.If your remaining root is not mobile and atleast very little amount of tooth structure is remaining we can save the tooth by doing Root canal treatment, then place a screw like structure inside the root which will be projecting above the gums.Using tooth filling material we can artificially build tooth shape.Then place a strong cap over this.  But if your root is in bad condition, remove it.It costs from Rs.200 to Rs.1000 depending on which tooth and the difficulty in extraction.Then replace the extracted area with artificial tooth soon to prevent the adjacent teeth from moving into the extraction space.Hope your query is answered.Please dont heditate to contact me for further doubts.Happy to answer you.
