Cliff notes:

A few weeks ago, a nerve went bad in my mouf and I hit up the dentist. They took some x-rays and ish, and then put me on medication. The dentist said that if in 10 days the swelling doesn't go down, then I need to get a root canal. They scheduled me for one too (but I was busy that day and rescheduled for April 9). So 10 days later (when my medication ran out) I called and said that it's back to normal and it doesn't hurt anymore. No swelling even. They said that I still need to get a root canal because the swelling only went down because of the medication. They said that it will hurt again soon, and I still need to get one.

After 4 weeks, it feels as if nothing was there at all. It's completely back to normal.

Here's my question:
Should I still get one even though it doesn't hurt? Is it really necessary or are they just trying to get my moneys?

kthx

 

dont you have dental insurance that'll cover it?

i'd wait till it hurts again..if it feels fine now, why go beat the shit out of ur poor mouth? :dunno: thats just me though, im a wuss..i hate pain h:

 

me too :happysad:

That's why I'm trying to avoid it.

 

if you have insurance to cover it, get it. if not, i'd probably wait.

 

get a second opinion.

 

i agree.

or do what i did and just get that son of a bitch pulled!:exnbp:

 

:werd:
If you don't need a root canal, I wouldn't get it. It deadens your tooth.

 

2nd opinion

 

get a 6th opinion.

 

2nd opinion is get it done. :/
