You are the one channeling what i said to displease yourself.

I didn't condescend on anyone, i simply stated my observations.

Many people i know have removed their tooth just because of minor tooth decay.

Lol didnt you say those words? Didn't you say he should do a procedure without even knowing if it will help. Didn't you say poverty has made people throwaway their tooth forever. That is a condescending statement like it or not. I ain't channeling anything I am not Doctor strange . I am only pointing out the problems with what you said. If you want to live in denial thats your prerogative but I will call it as I see it.

YellowbaMoslem:
Yes, dentists need to eat. I'm not removing a salvageable tooth forever because of money, something that was below 100k.

People are different, the only time i would lose my tooth is if its not salvageable or that I don't have the money to treat it.

The doctor would first observe it and tell you the possible solutions, to extract or to treat.

So if RCT costs 2 hundred naira, would you ask some to save the 2 hundred and remove his tooth?

People have different financial capacity, so that is that.

If RCT won't fix it sure thats the point then they remove it. RCT isn't the be all and end all. Medical conditions are different your own was a case of endodontic lesion which RCT can fix doesn't mean op will be the same thing.

If op tooth is extracted doesn't mean he was dumb or he didn't have the means. But his own issues were different from yours. Trying to put everyone in your own boat is the problem here.

It just like saying because amoxicllin worked for me it will work for everyone.

These are your words "poverty has made people throwaway their tooth forever. Do RCT and crown it". When you don't even know the diagnosis. When you don't even know if RCT will do anything. You are already proffering medical procedures and being condescending to people without means.

Looking at the picture it doesn't look like what you had its looking more complicated. But in your head since RCT worked for me it must work for everyone else

YellowbaMoslem:
I know.but if you are bouyant enough, you wouldn't want to remove it.

Na your type of patients dentist dey find. But there are situations where you just can't save it. Not everyone's condition is the same. I remember seeing the xray of a 1st molar and its very clear nothing was saving it.

Those situations are very common with third molars because of how and when they erupt. That's why they are very notorious. What you treated was an endodontic lesion depending on the orientation of the tooth it might be prone to perio lesions.

Most times these tooth can come with a combined perio and endo lesion which are a pain to treat. So yes its good to keep a tooth but a good dentist always think long term.

If you look at the op picture you can suspect there could be a perio lesion there too. Obviously investigations need to be done to confirm.

YellowbaMoslem:
If i don't understand it, i can still use my self as an example.

I did it, and also crowned it.

For years now I'm not having any problem. As a matter of fact, it appears to be my safest tooth from any possible infection since it's covered with sliver.

Well it isnt covered with silver thats for sure except you mean a silver crown and yeah adding a crown will definitely removed the problems with the third molar. But removing it doesnt do any harm either its just saves you money. It would be way cheaper and it wont affect you one bit. Thats the point about knowing oral anatomy, you can remove all your third molars and be completely fine eating whatever you want. Its that simple. Alot of the population in this country can't afford RCT and a crown expecially when its on a tooth that you can remove and it doesnt affect your oral functions in anyway.

YellowbaMoslem:
Waste of money? For someone to save their tooth.

Unless the person is not well to do.

You don't understand oral anatomy is why you are talking this way. Yes it is a waste because most times that tooth will still develop problems after. The third molar is a very notorious tooth its why Dentist will advise you to remove it when it has problems.

But hey who am I to stop you. It just means more money for the Dentist on the regular

YellowbaMoslem:
Yes, do a root canal and crown it.

60-100k depending on Tinubunomics


Do not extract it, unless you don't have Money.

Kai, poverty has really made many people throway their tooth forever.

Extraction of the 3rd molar is better for everyone. Trying to save it is just a waste of money except the patient really wants it. 3rd molars can be removed without affecting the patient's quality of life.

Its only when you start moving forward from 2nd molar and onwards that you definitely want to avoid extraction at all cost

cedricksly:
you are not a doctor.. When the bone under the tooth hasn't been affected, it can still be saved... Mine was worse when I put my tongue through mine I feel it is removal, but after the xray on the tooth I discovered it hasn't reached the bone underneath the decaying tooth. RCT was done on it on 4 different sessions when he confirmed I wasn't feeling pain anymore he filled it with amalgam(silver kind of substance) after 3 Weeks of filling and no pain it was crowned with porcelain. Mine wss worse, and funny thing is I didn't even go to the dentist when I was having lain on it, I went there years later. My point is he should see a dentist and the dentist is in the best position to advise him, not all these remove it remove it bcoz of a common picture he showed... I say it again extraction is always cheaper, hence why people feel wtth every teeth pain is extraction.

What do you mean when the bone under the tooth hasn't been affected it can be saved? There are many hopeless dental cases that don't involve the alveolar bone. Maybe you misunderstood what you were told.

But i do agree he should see a dentist so proper investigations will be done. But most likely that tooth will be extracted as its a 3rd molar.

I can't count how many times I've argued over and over again about how foul religion is 😪.
White men brought a religion to your country so they could dominate you easily- they left and Africans are still like the elephant who thinks he's still chained when he isn't - Africans just love chains at this point🤦🏽‍♂️

The problem isn't religion, but poverty and illiteracy play a big role too. There are several religious countries in the world doing very well for themselves. Nigeria's problems are multi-factored, to narrow it down to one thing is just you being obtuse. The saying a rising tide lifts all boats is true. The less people in poverty in Nigeria the more you will see religion lose its power. Its very evident if you live in places in Nigeria with upper middle class. Percentage of people brought up in these places who are very religious is lower than in low income areas.

The chains(religion) you see are what keep a lot of people going, it gets so strong that even when they do break the circle of low income they believe the chain got them there and will hold even more tightly to it and push these believes even strongly to their children. Its very easy to look down on people when you haven't walked a day in their shoes. I interact with people from different economic class very often because of what I do so I understand when I see these things.

I strongly feel the more develop we become and the less families we have not just in the poverty line but in low income or low middle class the better our way of thinking will become. Imagine a country of over 200 million people where only 5% of the people have over N500000 in their bank account. People don't have the space in their head or time to even contemplate upgrading their knowledge on things that wont give them money. They delegate that work to others like the media, their pastors, movies, smart friends and others. While they focus on how to pay their bills.

The status quo favors a lot of politicians especially in the north of Nigeria. So they deliberately dont want the population out of poverty.

Fritz73:
You know they did an x-ray first, before taking action .

Obviously its part of the diagnostic tools

cococandy:
Was your cavity as big as the one in the photo?

Sometimes it’s far too gone that root canal can’t save. Just good old extraction, bridging and an implant if the OP thinks they’ll miss the tooth.

Its not about the size but more of the depth. and you probably wont do a bridge or implant here its counter productive for a third molar and besides bridging need an abutment tooth at both ends which is not the case here implants are crazy expensives, most times a removable denture might be better especially given the socio-economic situation of the country. All these if the tooth is extracted, its advisable to try to preserve the tooth. Also like I said these options wont be presented for third molar except the patient for some reason really want to. Third molar are quickly extracted.

Efilse:
If he isn't up to 12 years, please extract it, it'll definitely grow back. If he's more than 12 years, based on my personal experience, he should still remove it. But moving forward, let him start taking better care of his teeth.

third molars are permanent teeth they dont grow back

Fritz73:
Root canal treatment, depends on how deep the hole is. I did mine at navy hospital in dockyard. V.I Lagos.
They would first do an xray, to see if the infection has gotten too deep, then would them take out all the decayed and infected tissues, put some medicine in it and cover it up for about 2 weeks, some leave if for months, to cure and kill the infection....then you go back and take it all out, the hole is then filled with medicine again, and covered up and permanently filled . Suprising it wasn't painful or expensive....did mine over 2 years and have no issues. I think it's a factor of if the infection has gotten to the nerves or spread too far, that determines if root canal can be done. My girlfriend had 2 if her tooth removed same period in a government hospital in ibadan, and till now I don't understand why.

Sounds like you did pulp capping probably not RCT. Dentist try as much as possible to do less invasive treatments first. RCT is indicated if the infection has gotten to the pulp even then pulpotomy can be done depending on the extent but the prognosis of pulpotomy is not as good as RCT, but its still ensures parts of the pulp is saved. But pulpotomy is usually indicated more in children sha when the teeth haven't completed apexogenesis. Most likely for adult RCT will be done to reduce number of visits and future expenses if pulpotomy fails which is very possible

Lutherblaq:
Can a tooth with a large hole be cured without extraction?

Asking for my kid bro

After proper assessment then the Dentist will determine this. Generally these days Dentist try to avoid extraction, several procedures can be done depending on the diagnosis. But keep in mind from the picture this is a third molar so it might be counter productive to carry out some of these procedures as they are more expensive than extraction. Extraction of the third molar will have little impact on your brother's quality of life so that might be the best option. But ofcourse this all depends on the diagnosis and your willingness(pocket) to save the tooth.

there also seem to be caries on the first molar as well that will need to be addressed as you don't want it progress even more. The first molar is important so the decision to extract it will be more tricky than the third molar as it will affect your brothers quality of life. So best listen to the dentist when he tells you that he needs to work on it. He is not being greedy but trying to save the tooth and prevent further expenses.

Obviously your brother will have to change his eating habits and improve oral hygiene and whatever else is recommended by the dentist. Go to the Dentist now please don't delay!

I pity some werey way never experience juju or see jazz in there life,I just de see most ppl comment de laugh shaa

They pity yourself my brother. If doctors wan use person for rituals there are closer connections like the child and mother's blood they can take. Amniotic fluid dey der. Even their hair dey there.They will take without anybody noticing. If we want to be mad, doctors all over the country should be richest people right now because they can easily steal your glory ontop tests.

You think you are smart but you just dey deceive yourself. If doctors 1 do you strong thing you nor go know.

You just love your superstition too much to see clearly. If we talk now oya come show us your jazz now and carry 1 million free we nor go see your shadow.

Do you know how many people's organs and tumors doctors use to teach medical students? Do you even know medical student cut through dead bodies to study human anatomy? You don't know anything bro na why I am telling you that these people have better things to do. If them 1 do rituals they have endless opportunity.

This is the 21st century, I am sure you are educated do better.

flakkybakky:
both,the spiritual implications can be worse

How can it affect the babies health educate us. Keep your spiritual mumbo jumbo to yourself na the physical implications I 1 hear.

emperor4love:
wen u born liv ur kid own wit dem

Sure not everyone is as superstitious as you. The world as grown pass that level. As una get spiritual powers reach your still the poverty capital of the world.

I remember a guy asking people like you to come and perform your witchcraft in front of him and get money nobody showed up.

Keep believing in nonsense while others are moving forward. If person 1 even use your pikin placental na doctors and nurses way get better thing do go dey use am do nonsense mstcheew.

Keep burning your infrastructure upandan because of superstitious nonsense, na you go still suffer am las las

3exe3:
They shld be prosecuted. Can this affect a baby health? or its spiritual

Na spiritual nonsense. Prosecuted for what exactly? Highest any sane court will do is ask them to pay a fine. Mistakes happens but to think they wanted to burn down the hospital servicing their community. Later now they will be crying they don't have access to healthcare.

Ok o

But why leave the one in his country

He should have finished the one happening in his country after which he can come to naija

Just a random thought

They want to host a competition that will bring in foreigners who will spend money which will improve your economy and your random thought is he should finish the one happening in his country.

I no say una nor like Nigeria but try dey hide am small

Another simple Google search when you will not use Google well

Harry remains a prince and is fifth in line to the throne. The couple kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but are no longer addressed as his or her royal highness (HRH). Harry also gave up his military titles

bemeruca:
You sound like you have been living under the rock. He has been stripped off his royal duties. In fact, he rejected it. He is here for the camera but you choose to live under a rock.

The reason for his vist is well documented you just don't want to read about it. He is here because of the Invictus games. Not for camera

ceejay80s:
he is no longer a prince so why these eye service headlines.....

Were you the one that removed his title of prince in your village? Or what? Someone that is still 5th in line to the throne is no longer a Prince according to ceejay. Royal family never comot the title but because ceejay80s said its so its definitely so

Emeskhalifa:
Of what use is the visit?

He has been stripped of his tittle as a prince.
So what exactly is the economical benefits of his visit ffs that y'all keep hyping it?

So many household can't afford 3 square meal anymore due to how difficult everything have become in this country (myself inclusive) and you guys are disturbing us with the visit of someone

He is here because of the Invictus games and possibility of Nigeria hosting it in the near future which will only be a good thing to the economy.

And he hasn't been stripped of his title. They are both still duke and duchess of Sussex they are just no longer working members of the English royal family.

Which software can I used in recording my screen sharing and as well as I can talk and be heard in the recording video?
I have tried zoom, OBS, screenrec and some others. While I was unable to use zoom, the others only recorded my screen and I didn't hear my voice.
Please help

Modified: it's for my laptop not phone

OBS is great for this if its not getting your voice its because

1. You didn't set up the audio settings correctly
2. There something wrong with your mic.

Watch YouTube video on how to set up the audio settings

I'm not the cause of your frustration Mister!

If you are ignorant to differentiate cruise catching from objective reality/views, then that's your problem.
Moreover, if not for your ignorance, you would have noticed words that were put on quotes!

No need to quote me, because I will ignore you Imp!

Lol you are the one obviously frustrated. I am only pointing out your ignorance no need to get too pained and start crying over my mentions . A wise person would have gone and upgraded his knowledge but here you are shedding tears in ignorance

I am not the one that told you to post in a public space displaying your lack of knowledge with reckless abandon! But I will always point out ignorance wherever I see it. Its nothing personal sorry if you took it to heart but it speaks more to you because it shows you cannot take correction. Do work on that in the future, enjoy

I am a political scientist and I do not get paid arguing with you- these are things I read in my textbooks written by scholars, do your research - I am not spending one minute of my time proving anything to you - the logo of the Nigerian army has a motto- written in arabic - go argue with Tinubu!

Las las na trust me bro

Localgrandpa:
I wanted to join that other dude in lashing you. But Had to go check what the Invictus games was about first though I have heard about the event, but din't really know what it is all about . Now I know. Hence the prince abi na xprince's visit is justified

Its why I rather have a discuss only if you are knowledgeable of the facts. Arguing blindly gets us no where. Glad you took the time to get the facts and that it led you to the conclusion I have made initially.

The reason I add Dr and witch is because of magic, definitely dem using dark magic on him and some Kryptonite too

This your team is op oh, especially if they know his weakness and have access to it. And if Dr strange has his time stone that will definitely come in handy.

Chibudollar:
just came here to post this particular screenshot. They about to ruin it. Why not just stop at 1 like it was originally intended.

They want money. Fx has had some bangers over the years sha but nothing on the level of shogun. They probably won't have a series like this again for years. It would be dumb not to milk it for all its worth from a business standpoint.

Storywise it isn't the best decision. But if they cook this just right they could have a cash cow for years.
