Root Canal and Going On Vacation?!
Question: Root Canal and Going On Vacation!?
I am freaking out!. I am getting on a plane Thursday night for a 10 day vacation (within the US)!. Yesterday, I started having tooth pain and went to see the dentist!. He could not recreate it with his bite plates which didn't surprise me because it only happens randomly when I'm eating that I get a sharp shooting pain!. He advised me to see a root canal specialist which I'm seeing today!. They have me scheduled for a consultation and a root canal but I feel like I'm in a lose lose!. What if I get an infection or some other complication from the root canal - then I'm on vacation!. On the other hand, can it wait 10 days!? Any thoughts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
get a referral from either dentist where you live for a dentist near where you are going!.
get your current dentist to give you a prescription for pain, just in case, and get copies of your records and xrays, anything a new dentist might need!. (just in case)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would not wait, I was on vacation with root canal pain and it was no vacation!.
Get the root canal (they're no big deal) and
make sure you have a prescription for antibiotics and get it filled b4 you leave!. Also stock up on painkillers just in case!.
99!.9% of the time the pain is completely gone after a root canal procedure!.
Enjoy your vacation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

roort canal can be performed in one visit now if the pulp (tooth nerve) isnt infected, temporary filling may eliminate pain but its not secured i can withstand mastication forces during ur 10 days vacation, so i recommend either 1 visit root canal treatment, or just pulling out the nerve of teh tooth and finish it after u r back, assuming u will keep ur temp filling intactWww@Answer-Health@Com
No youll be fine!. they should give you pain meds and antibiotics after your root canal for preventative care!. Just make sure to take all the antibiotics and you will be fine
