Average nigeria doctors are quack

Sewasaunt:



Fun fact, taking calcium frequently makes the bone more dense and hence teeth are more difficult to remove when they eventually need to be extracted from lack of timely, adequate professional DENTAL care.

Enough Calcium is usually gotten through our diet, if anyone needs calcium supplements, it should not be because one or two teeth have holes.

You are welcome.

Someodds:


Can I get that toothpaste from store, and what's CA-C 100, also what's the generic name for the painkiller you're suggesting? Thanks

Angelfrost:


Thank you..
I never recommended CA-C for long term use. 7 to 10 days at best for non osteo-compromised patients...

Well, you line about diet and calcium tells me you don't quite know how poorly nourished the average Nigerian is... You would be amazed.

Angelfrost:


Euthymol toothpaste is sold in major pharmacies and supermarkets across the nation... It's quite pricy and kinda rare.

It has been proven to be handy in certain mild dental issues like sensitivity, cavities, tooth decay (mild), etc... You simply brush with it twice daily.

It cleans & polish your teeth to remove hardened dirt and stains that your tooth brush cannot take out . Scaling and polishing helps to prevent tooth decay and other complications caused by cavity in the teeth . If you do scale & polish every six month, you will never have any issues with tooth cavity that will eventually lead to tooth extraction and other dental complications .

You people like defelcting and making up stories to counter an argument.
Did the OP say he went to aboki?
Someone said he went to a dentist you are talking of those who went to aboki
Dentists dont follow the right procedure bit it is still the patient's fault. SMH

For pain, diclofenac 50mg (preferably Cataflam by Novartis) can help a lot.

Thanks for the clarifications.

CA-C gives strength to weakened teeth and bones. It also helps in healing (High strength Vitamin C).

I honestly don't know of it's Laziness or what but Nigeria Doctors always go for the last option which is Extraction.

They would rather opt for Extraction and would never suggest root canal treatment, even if a person have removed 4teeths, they will still opt for Extraction.

Most developed country would be happy to do all they can and when there is no way out again before they opt for Extraction. Keeping as much natural teeth as possible is the best, why then do Nigeria dentist always opt for Extraction?

Sadly, if you insist on restorative measures, the will tagged you stubborn patient. Tired much.

onegig:


Do Root canal right away? Wow!!


Such should not even be carried out without a Blood Pressure test let a lone someone coming in just for a checkup or pains from a tooth issue.

if you have slightly above normal BP , carrying out a root canal can aggravate that and result to cardiac arrest or other complications because of severe pain.

But here in Nigeria. I have never seen a dentist except in Teaching Hospitals and some select Dentist who would require you go home first, rest, relax and come back a day or 2 later to carry out such procedures when you have stabilized.

The number of people who have lost their lives to doctors not following procedures is quite high. We don't have litigations and rarely carry out autopsies so most get away from losts of things

DarkJeddi:
Most of you making these comments,would be the first to ask for extraction if you are told the price of an RCT..
You're all here shouting na Wetin they teach them for school..

onyeomanono24:

Oga just tell us that you are toothless already, no be wetin dem teach them before?

Answer the op, i no call your name, if u be dentist goan do your extraction jejely .

jacoik:
before you react to comment, digest it first before you come online to disgrace yourself

Pa3cia:
The problem doesn't end when you get rid of the infected tooth, you have to get rid of the worms disturbing the tooth nd not the tooth itself, why do you think the problem persists after removing the infected tooth, it's because, the worms are still living in there and will immediately start feasting on a new one, once their host has been taken, this new one takes time before one starts to notice, by the time it has eaten deep into the infected tooth is when you start to feel the pain, stop removing your tooth, or else you'll end up removing more than two, because the worms disturbing the tooth is still alive, been battling with mine since primary sch till date, herbs is all I've been using for it, now the affected tooth is breaking by itself, I hardly feel the pains. We do not remove our head simply because we are suffering from headache, rather we use drugs for it, why not apply same method you use in treating headache even though this one is different, the pain is out of this world, very wicked thing.

DarkJeddi:
You can't afford to pay for an RCT,so go and rest.
Your type na Agnes Nwanma teething powder be the solution to all their teeth problems..

onyeomanono24:


Sorry oga you can vent your grievance on your quack dentist, no be me cause your eze-ure. I have no business with whether you still have a tooth in your mouth or you need a repair. Next time use a good hospital. I can't relate with your teeth problem and this gibberish u typing up & down.

BabaOwen:
Please, do you mean your teeth is breaking?

Sewasaunt:


No ma, there is no worm in your mouth, you can read about it online.

DarkJeddi:
There is no WORM in your teeth..
From my student years to now as a Dentist of over a decade,after dealing with THOUSANDS OF TEETH,I have NEVER seen ONE WORM in any tooth..
What destroys your teeth are BACTERIA.
Stop spreading this falsehood..
Anyone that brought out a worm in your tooth is doing ABRACADABRA for you..

DarkJeddi:
For the umpteenth time,there's no WORM in your teeth..
I have seen more tooth than you are going to see in the next hundreds years and there's NON with a worm inside..
Stop posting this infantile nonsense..

Jaqenhghar:

Look who's talking of digest. Clearly your post shows you didnt digest anything. Either that or you have comprehension problems

Pa3cia:

Yes, it's dancing Michael Jackson (moonwalk)
Jokes apart, the affected tooth is breaking, half of it, is broken, can't wait for the remaining one to follow.

BafanaBafana:
Because you are ranked according to the number of teeth you have pulled out. Shikena.
Just like boxers are ranked according to the fights they have won,
Lawyers are ranked according to the cases they have won,
Academics are ranked according to the number of publications

Na so dentists sef are ranked according to the number of teeth they have removed. So if you be dentist, wetin you go do



My opinion though
