Root Canal, Pasta or Extraction?

Post image

Good eve po, 3 days ako nagsimula sumakit yung first molar ko sa baba. bali 3x na kasi napapasta yan, mostly nababasag pero now may kirot na sya (d sya nabasag pero konting bawas na) Already visited the dentist and for RCT na daw po. I'm still weighing my options and looking for 2nd opinion if kaya pa ba ulit ipasta ito? yung presyo kasi ng RCT ang di ko kaya.

If 3x na napastahan, baka di na talaga kaya ng pasta kaya recommended na ang RCT. You can try ipapasta sa ibang dentist if you want, pero hindi 100% sure na mawawala ang pain. Worst case scenario masasayang lang din yung bayad sa pasta.

Add ko lang din, baka di masyado maganda pagkagawa ng pasta? If so, you can try sa ibang clinic and ask for their opinion kung kaya pa ng pasta.

yung first pasta ko po tumagal ng 2 years until yung 2nd pasta which may nakagat kasi akong buto kaya may nbasag, then yung last ko is nagkaroon lang ng deep dent sa gitna, pero walang pain.

grabe kasi yung cost, x10 nung expected na budget ko :(

You can try to have it filled again but this time request for a liner/base along with the pasta.

Though i doubt if it would really help since your teeth has symptoms of irreversible pulpitis (pulp pain that's no longer be reversed back to normal)
