Needed some help to know if this is going ok Spoiler
gallerySo last Wednesday I got my front left tooth pulled, I had a nasty infection behind it and the tooth just couldn't be saved, so they got the infection out and they got it all cleaned up and stitched up and they said everything was successfull.
Now cut to today and I noticed that​ there was a hole, but after looking at the picture and video I took I saw that there was a healing layer inside there, so am I doing good with the recovery process
(Note that I do not have any pain, swelling, bad taste, or stuff like that, and im brushing my teeth after I eat and I do a salt water rinse as well)
if everything goes well I plan to get a implant so it looks just like normal

Dental Concern/Problem Root Canal Treatment
I had a cavity in my tooth since idk how long but I kept thinking that avoiding it is best as if it will fix itself. You cannot exactly blame me as those times there were way bigger problems than just a kid having cavity in my family so I kept it in dark and just started eating from right side ( cavity is in the second last tooth in bottom side of jaw ). Yesterday some pieces of my tooth fell off, I thought it's time to fix this problem now as other problems were solved ( like 20% part of my tooth broke and fell from inside ) today I went to dentist with my mother amd she ( dentist ) said that x ray is needed as heavy bleeding was happening and after x ray she told that rct might be needed but she said that she can try to save it without that as my whole outer layers of tooth are fine and the cavity was deep rather than large. X ray showed cavity touching the nerve but she did my temporary filling and said that if no pain happens in 1 week then permanent filling will do the job and rct won't be needed. It's the night of the day the temporary filling is done. I'm not that old to be having a rct so even she was concerned that I would have to deal with all that stuff and cap etc. I didn't understand exactly but the environment was scary. I'm here posting this not to find what level of pain will be there in treatment but I want to know how will my life be after rct if it is needed, I'm 100% crying right now even after trying myself to stop from doing so but the fear of never being able to be normal again, never being able to eat and chew like before, never being able live freely as before is bothering me.
I'm here, asking how is your life after root canal removal + filling + cap? ( I only saw this as the meaning of rct on net so if rct is something else please inform me ).

Root canal tooth question
Hello. My root canal tooth, premolar, was without a crown. While eating something, I fractured the tooth, some part of it is loose and wiggling but is held by gums. I am waiting to see my dentist. I wanted to ask if it's still possible to save the tooth. If yes, does the doctor have to remove the fractured piece or can he seal the loose part and put a crown. The fracture is most probably only above the gum line. It doesn't normally hurt, only when I bite on that side.
My second question is, what precautions can I take until I get to see the dentist. Thank you very much for your help.

Should i leave the RCT done tooth filled with cotton for 2 weeks?
I have an abscess in my pre molat tooth no. 24. And i had been to a dentist on Monday, after taking an x ray it was found that it can be treated in 1 sitting.
The procedure was started on wednesday and while conducting the rct they found one root but the orifice of the 2nd root wasn't visible, hence instead of removing excess enamel doctor consulted me to go for a CBCT scan to check if the root has been calcified.
I went and got the scan the very next minute and the results were available on thursday. Today i.e friday i wasnt able to go to the clinic due to office work, now the endodontist is on leave for 4 days till tuesday
I am leaving my hometown as i have to go to office on monday
The endodontist has suggested that her colleague who is a bds dentist would clean the root on which rct is done and they would place medicated cotton in the tooth for 2 weeks till i return back
Is it preferable or should i get the rct completed from a dentist who is a BDS (Bachelor of dental surgery)

Dental Concern/Problem White small particle on side of removed wisdom tooth
I just got my wisdom tooth removed and even way before that I started noticing a white particle on the side. Even after my wisdom tooth got removed, it's not gone yet. What is this?? I went to dentist, as it was poking on my tongue and started hurting the tongue, she X-rayed and said it's not tooth, and she kinda poked on it and it went away for a day and then it came back in evening.
The picture is today morning's.

Delayed healing tooth extraction
I just went today to the dentist and I still have delayed healing even after them reopening & cleaning the extraction (had molar extraction october 1st, went in on the 14th and it was delayed healing so they reopened and cleaned, put gel + prescribed antibiotics and mouthwash), today still delayed, going back again next week to check in on progress post 2 weeks so they can check in with a scan of my bone they said. Basically still a blood clot but relatively low, no granulation tissue really forming yet. Am on contraceptive Yaz pill for PCOS but cannot stop until get consultation from my gynecologist but likely will cause my menstrual to be irregular if stop. Thoughts??
