Laughing gas/root canal?!


Question: Laughing gas/root canal!?
I went in once for a root canal, they couldn't numb me well enough and they put this medicine inside my tooth to kill my nerve so now im stuck with a temp filling!. [which kills right now] i go back on the 28th, and they suggested i use laughing gas, so we're getting that!. [1!. whats that like!?] but im really scared it'll be a waste of money because i don't think they'll be able to numb me!. Because my tooth is still hurting!. [2!. should it be hurting still since my nerve is supposed to be dead!?]

Thanks in advanced!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If I'm getting work done that requires getting the shots of Novocaine - I get the nitrous!. It completely relaxes me so I don't tense up when I'm getting the shots!. For me, it makes everything seem like it's far away, it dulls the sounds, I stay relaxed!. The cost for me is $75 and it is TOTALLY worth it for me! Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have a hot tooth, there is a good chance they were not able to get al of the nerve out and did what is referred to as an open and med!. On some people it works on others it does not!. In your case the nerve damage inside of the tooth more extensive so the open and med is not working!. Laughing gas is not really use to control pain but more to control anxiety, and lots of times what a person is experiencing is due to anxiety and not necessary pain in the traditional sense!.

You did mention you are nervouse so I would not rule out nitrous!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am pretty scared of the dentist!. I had my first root canal and they used gas!. I had my second root canal and they did not use gas!. Both times my tooth was hurting pretty bad!. I really did not see the much of the difference with the gas!. My issue was more of aniexty then pain!.

I don't see gas helping with the pain!. I know it cost me $50 extra for the gas and I didn't think it helped enough to justify the cost!.

I don't think your tooth should still be hurting!. Could you have an infection!? or it is just sore from all the poking around!. Did the dentist take x-rays after he did the root canal!. On my first root canal, I had an extra canal so luckily the dentist re-x-rayed and got the extra one done!.
