Tooth extraction at 15?
Hey people,
I am currently 15 years old (and will be 16 in August, if that matters).
About half a year ago I had a root canal treatment on tooth 22 (upper, lateral, left front tooth).
Background story:
Back in elementary school, I'd had a large, pus-filled blister on my gum twice a year for a few days. The dentist said it was gingivitis and would go away soon. It popped out about six times before I suddenly started experiencing pain in that tooth. I thought it would go away, but a few days later, the entire left side of my face was swollen.
The dentist took an x-ray and said the root was dead. I had a root canal treatment and everything was fine for a few months.
For a month now, I've had a "foreign body sensation" around that tooth. As if the tooth wasn't mine. It was a strange feeling.
I just thought it was because the tooth no longer had a nerve.
Weeks passed, and for the past seven days, I've been feeling an unpleasant sensation in my tooth when I apply pressure. I've since tried to protect the tooth.
The day before yesterday at 4 a.m. I woke up with severe pain in this tooth (in the area of the root-treated tooth, the pain stretched from the jaw to the palate.
I took 200mg of ibuprofen and slept again until 7 a.m. because I had to go to school. But when I woke up and went to school, everything was back to normal (except for the foreign body sensation).
At 1 a.m. last night, I was lying in bed with this pain again. I took another ibuprofen and went back to sleep.
In the morning and throughout the day the tooth continued to hurt and I had a tingling sensation in the lower nose area above the tooth.
I asked my parents to make a dentist appointment that day.
We took an x-ray, and the doctor said the root is heavily inflamed, very close to the neighboring teeth (upper jaw, left front, and canine). When I asked how that happened, she simply replied, "Why do you get pneumonia or a middle ear infection? It's just caused by bacteria."
The dark one is the inflammation and the thin white line is the root canal filling.
She prescribed me antibiotics and referred me to an implantologist, who will perform a root canal resection (RAR) if possible. If it's too late, the tooth will be extracted (most likely the latter). My appointment with the implantologist isn't until next week, on Wednesday.
Now I'm sitting here, 15 years old, in severe pain. And with a front tooth that will soon be pulled.
I'm asking for some advice and maybe some encouragement. How does this work, and what happens afterward?

it looks extremely inflamed. Apparently, the root treatment was slept. A WSR is not pleasant, but after approx. It’s okay for three days. The inflamed tissue is also removed and should no longer cause any problems.
However, it’s so bad that you’ve had a problem with ecstasy and the dentist hasn’t done anything for years until the root was dead. I would recommend a change of dentist.
If you should pull the tooth, it’s not nice, but it’s not dramatic at the top, for example, when a white tooth comes in. So the gap will decrease and will not interfere with you any more.
My parents thought they agreed to allow me an implant but with 15 the jaw is not fully grown and the implant itself is so inconceivable expensive.
In addition, the gap would limit me more socially.
I will change the ZA in any case.
I just see you obviously don’t mean the 22 in the back, but the 2 in the front. Sure, there’s a gap not an option. However, implants are not an optimal option. They are not only expensive, there is a pure operation in the jawbone and bacteria have a very easy game. Better is a bridge. The two neighboring teeth are also overcrowded, but the intervention is less intense.
Let’s hope the rest tooth can be preserved.
PS: If you have a funny feeling in your tooth after a root treatment, something is definitely not right. Sometimes an antibiotic can help. In any case, the dentist has to ring it and take care of it.
But it is most elegant from a medical point of view. Unelegant is a bridge for which healthy neighboring teeth must be slept. The implants are completely bioinert and wear super with the bone. Finally, in the bone, there is also a hole where the tooth is inside. Whether there’s the tooth or an implant in it. No difference
That’s bullshit. I didn’t count, but I was just thinking about baking teeth
as well as root treatment or remedies with fillings. Nevertheless, there are inflammations, secondary caries, etc 😉
Drilling the jawbone is not the most elegant solution
What is a 22 in the back?😅
Implants are actually always the most noble solution that bacteria have light play is also nonsense it is all used under sterile or germ-poor conditions.
But jaw growth is a problem at the young age. I would recommend an adhesive bridge in the front tooth area. Thus the neighboring teeth are protected and aesthetically a beautiful result is possible.
If you are still in treatment with the same ZÄ that has made these above-mentioned statements as: “that is a gum inflammation” The root canal treatment has done (complete catastrophe) and now said: “Why do you get pneumonia or middle ear infection? This is just coming from bacteria,” I can only advise you to visit another dentist. This could be the oral surgeon, for example.
Whether a root tip resection really succeeds, I dare to doubt and without a revision of the root filling mMn eh not.
My advice: Go to a day or tomorrow endodontologs, this is a ZA that specializes in root canal treatments and let you be advised. If the tooth is to be saved, then only by the endodonologist. However, it makes sense if you take a parent. There are costs for you/his parents. I think it’s worth a try.
If the tooth has to be removed, you don’t have to run around with the tooth gap, but you’ll get a small removable, temporary prosthesis. You have to wear these until you can put an implant. I’ll push you the thumbs and good recovery.
The feeling of strangeness comes from the Eiter.
In any case, the WSR is on. It is the last attempt to get the real tooth.
If the tooth has to be pulled, you will get a removable provisor with a clamp until the jawbone has grown and you can put an implant.
Another alternative – somewhat old-fashioned – would be an adhesive bridge in which the missing tooth is glued with wings to the inside of the adjacent teeth.
Why nothing is done with constantly recurring ulcers, however, is a mystery to me …
