Getting first upper left Molar extracted

minister said:
Is it on the NHS if so be carefull, if i were you i'd go for another opinion, Why does the tooth need coming out, can you get a Root Canal done?

NHS dentist prefer to have teh tooth extracted rather than give you a root canal, if I were you id try and do what ever you can to keep it.
If he does take it out make sure you have an xray incase later you find out that you could have saved it to sue the dentist.

Are the teeth next to it in good health if so do not get a bridge they'll damage the teeth.If the tooth does come out then save 1500 for an implant.

Very soon you'll be able to have this done http://www.drbicuspid.com/index.aspx?sec=sup&sub=bai&pag=dis&ItemID=305787

1. The tooth already has a poor prognosis. There is absolutely no guarantee that root canal treatment will work. (ie. You could spend over 1hr 30mins on dental chair only to get further pain/ swelling/ problems). Your highest chance of success is if you see an endodontist- a specialist in root canal treatment. The NHS do not pay for this unless you are willing to wait on a dental hospital waiting list (Ive had some patients wait 18months+ only to be told to have it done privately).

2. Some teeth are unrestorable and even if root canal treatment can be attempted, the tooth cannot be restored. Therefore only options to leave/ extract.

3. A dentist gets paid the EXACT SAME on the nhs for doing a check up, xrays and root canal treatment compared to a check up, xray and extraction. This is decided by the NHS. This is all part of THE BIG LIE that is NHS dentistry.

4. Research shows as long as you have 5-5 teeth you are able to speak, eat drink and function normally (shortened dental arch concept).
 
5. The material minister posted is currently undergoing clinical testing. IF it proves to be effective the likelihood of it EVER being provided on the nhs is very low. There are already lots of instruments and materials which are PROVEN to be more effective for root canal treatment.

The average dentist gets paid EXACTLY £68.28 to carry out an examintion, xrays, scale and polish and ALL fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, periodontal treatment that is clinically necessary. Taking into account their rent/mortgage, insurance, reception and nurse hourly costs, print post stationary, website and light heat water rates. How much do you think is left for materials? Dentists want to provide the best they can but this is simply not viable. You will most likely get root canal treatment using simple hand instruments (which have to disposed of after being used due to HTM 01-05 guidelines brought in by the department of health which have NO research/ evidence to back it up!)
 
It was the second tooth from the back #15 and not #14, i think im just gonna leave it how it is, as it's not noticeable.

Taking the tooth out was a breeze, she did two injections and tested to see if it was numb, but it wasn't completely so then she injected me a final time, and i felt nothing, she was tugging a bit forward and backwards to loosen it and it came out easily within 2mins.

BTW guys this was done on the NHS as the dentist couldn't do it (something to do about nerves).
 
ROI currently don't dispose of RCT files, found this out last week. They never had a case of CJD and stuck two fingers up to the smartarse microbiologist who claimed to have inlab tested prion transfer.
