Root canal, crown and now implant?

Question

Hi there

Feeling a bit miserable as I still have toothache 8 months down the line, after having several dental procedures.

I live in Dubai and went there knowing that I needed a crown. My new dentist here said that I needed a root canal before this could be done. Several weeks later the crown was put on but I started to get pain several months down the line. An x ray revealed that I had a cyst in the gum so I had to have the infection removed via a gum flap being cut. Several weeks on and I have the toothache coming back!!!! My dentist had said that I would need an extraction and implant if the last procedure didn't work. All this is costing my husband a fortune (as we are not covered by dental insurance) and I'm paranoid that my dentist is trying to make as much money as possible out of me!! I would like to get a second opinion from another dentist - is this a good idea?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Really, a nightmare for you, a root canal, crown, implant, and still in pain! If you want to save your natural teeth, please get a second opinion as soon as possible. Make sure this time you have a right dentist to take of your problem. Dental procedures usually cost a lot in some places. Dental implant is not only costly; it might take the better part of a year for healing and restoration.  Some dentists believe in saving or replacing teeth, some do not. It’s not worth the risk…
