tooth cracked (molar). no dentist in town would help me

must = just (correction)

I have so far cracked and lost first one piece then sometime later the rest painlessly, but a little cavity hurts like fuck?

The hard part is getting the 22 mm roots out

Waiting for benefits to kick in

Most dentists won't do extractions anymore ...send you to a specialist

Molars have 3 roots and if they're broken they have to dig them out - not many have experience at it and it takes time and strength

I worked for an old-fashioned dentist that cut his chops as the Indian reservation dentist ... He did everything ... Lots of full mouth extractions ... And the dentists in his own group practice shunned him because he was so uncouth by doing xtractions when the Gov't or insurance wouldn't pay to do root canals ... He did those too.

Sorry about your tooth OP - I've ha more than one split root to tip and that type just have to come out - not a root canal candidate. Otter root canal teeth get brittle and break after all that money spent

Don't eat Milk Duds (cap removers)
Don't chew ICE - breaks teeth
Watch how and what you eat after age 40 to keep your teeth

Get some coconut oil and swish it around in your mouth for 20 minutes every day. It will take about a month to remineralize your tooth or more. But if you've nothing else

Dentist don't extract molars often. That is best left to a specialist. If your tooth's roots break during extraction they got to dig them out. Bloody mess.

Any dentist should be able to recommend a specialist they refer.


If you can't afford it, there are schools that will have oral surgeons in training. Sign a waiver and off you go.

Smile

sorry for you

thanks. super glue working so far

this small town probably doesn't even have those specialists

can you use coconut oil even if you have mercury fillings? won't the mercury leech out with oil pulling?

i don't drive and this small desert town has no specialists

schools would be a few hours away

These Doctors, Dentists, Veterinarians, elite, so called preachers, etc that could have helped people but didnt because the love of money are soon, very soon, going to answer to The Lord Jesus Christ for their actions!

A dentist could have helped you but chose not to because of greed, pure greed. Makes me so sick. Even so come Lord Jesus!

thanks for your post

i have always hated this world!

that's why it's called a HYPOCRITIC OATH AND NOT HIPPOCRATIC!

I had one that was broken with the root still in. One day I had occasion to take a prednisone pill, and I guess it decreased the swelling or something because they just fell out that day.

I don't want to talk you into anything dangerous, but SOMETIMES teeth do heal on their own.

But do take care. If you are suffering, don't be a hero.

We didn't all drop dead from cracked teeth before there were dentists.

Your body knows what to do. The tooth will die without treatment, and may get infected. But your body will fight it. It will port the rotton root to the outside of the gum line and you will have a foul blister along your gum. When this abscess pops, all the bacteria will drain and the infection will slowly go away as your body will encapsulate the remaining bacteria in a firm cyst like material. Eventually the tooth will begin to fall apart but by this time the body has sealed off the root cavity.

This is not a pleasant process. It will hurt like hell. And it may take years for the dead tooth to break down. It's important to remain healthy and keep your mouth very clean while this is occurring.

Just know it's not a death sentence. I've been through it a few times due to a phobia of dentists.

The best treatment is to just get it pulled.

Op, why not start a gofundme page? 250 dollar would be quickly raised.....

Why won't the Dentists help you?

For OP and anyone else. Go to a denture place. Most of them charge $100-150 to extract a tooth. The dentists there are fast and do not lecture you or try to up sale you. The less teeth you have the more likely you will be in to buy dentures so pulling a single tooth is nothing to them.

they said they wouldn't

i doubt it

i'm treated different than the hive

thanks. i hope it will heal

if i can afford it i will

for me $100 is a lot of money

this is America. they don't do it for free

i suspected what you say is true. thanks again for this post!

in all honesty, a crown costs me 1100. Why should it be free to you? Sorry you have a bum tooth and all but why should I pay and you not?

thanks to all posters

i research and watched a youtube video of a woman who healed her teeth and grew new teeth.

seems the solution is:

1) avoid sugar
2) no grains, legumes, nightshades as they contain phytic acid
3) calcium, vitamin D and as the Australian gentleman mentioned PHOSPHOROUS. i eat a lot of eggs and i will add cheese which cover all 3 groups.
4) DON'T CHEW ON THAT SIDE
5) coconut oil pulling
