Bless you doc!
Thank you for putting it out there for us.
E nor easy.
Dem no too dey hear word but blame it on the dentist and not tooth prognosis or patient availability for treatment or patient's affordability.
Na wa!

The comments just made me weak.

This post reeks of ignorance.
Here I am, currently battling with multiple RCT patients and people are here yapping balls, saying it's only extraction we were taught in school.

How many people person wan educate like this?
It's bad enough that dental awareness is terrible in Nigeria.
We now still have to battle with people who think like this?
Hian!

There are alot of factors to consider before opting for a root canal treatment.
They are
1. Cost: Root canal is not a cheap procedure and after its completion the tooth needs to be crowned(capped). This ideally in a govt hospital cost nothing less than 50k in Nigeria. Also it requires multiple visits.
2. Availability of equipment: Some centers don't have x-ray machines and an ideal root canal treatment requires minimum of four x-rays. This may make it impossible to carry out.
3. Tooth health status: Not all teeth are restorable. Many are badly broken down so much that the prognosis for a root canal treatment may be very poor.
4. Tooth support: the bony support for a tooth may be inadequate to hold a tooth and root canal may not be feasible......



Listen,I am a uniben trained dentist currently working in England and I can tell you I know many of our Nigerian dentists working with the NHS here and doing very well.

Please next time let your brain do the thinking first before engaging ur fingers.....u sound very unintelligent with what u posted.
