In April of this year, I saw a dentist to get a teeth cleaning. He told me that because he exposed the nerve I need root canal which will cost me 2000. Filling of the root canal should be completed within a millimeter of the root tip or apex. He drilled to far into the pulp or nerve of my tooth and now i am probably going to have to have a root canal.
Dec 2 20Just been back to the dentist, and in the xray he can see that the original root canal filling that went past the root is still in my gum, even though the tooth is gone. So the deeper the filling, the more the dentist will have to drill and the closer they get to your precious nerves.
Drilling too far and causing root canal?
Jun 2 20If you have a cavity that is deep within your tooth, then the dentist needs to drill the parts of your tooth that are affected by the decay. I had no intention of going back to him, but the oher dentist in the office wasnapost available and the tooth was in desperate need of fixing.
