Root canal cavitys and dentists?
Ok, first things first.





SHAME on mom and dad for never having taken you to a dentist.





IMHO that is a form of child neglect. Do your parents know about your cavity.





You can BET, that if you have a cavaity you can actually see, you have plently more that you can't visably see.





Cavities (holes in teeth), can put infection into your bloodstream. They can literlly make you sick. Not to mention, decayed teeth can stink (and cause you, a child, embarrassment and life long issues related to your self-image about your teeth.)





Again, shame on your parents. I too have teeth issues having been neglected in this department as a child.





Ok, you don't 'get' a root canal. That is a procedure that a dentist does. And typically 13 year olds don't need them.





A root canal is performed when the cavity is so deep it has infected the nerve in your teeth. And yes, having such a large cavity in the nerve of your tooth will hurt like hell. The pain from having the root canal done(and then the posts and reconstruction of the tooth), will pale considerable when compared to the pain in your nerve. A root canal will kill the nerves, get the cavity (and most likely infection), out, then they put a temporary filling in, then later, after recovery, posts are put in, as well as a permant 'rebuild' off the tooth.





I had my first root canal as an adult, and i was scared. Yes, it is not very fun. However, the pain that you no longer will have is worth it.





They can give you orally some medication to help with your pain.





Root canals are not cheap. I hope your mom and dad get this taken care of soon.
Reply:Today's Dental procedures are mostly pain free. You should not be afraid, and there is no need to wait that long. Even large cavities may be filled. Have your Parents make an appointment and the Dentist will decide what needs to be done. You may even have gas, and be asleep while the work is being done. The drill does not hurt there is water spray with the drilling it keeps things cool. Root canal does not hurt either, it may be a little uncomfortable with all the things that are in the mouth for protection, and it takes a while, there is no pain......be brave and go it will save your tooth
Reply:no dental treatment is painful, just that people are scared.
