GetMeRight:It's only in Nigeria, dentist will advice you to remove your tooth because of toothache, other countries treat theirs, our dentists still have a lot to learn. |

Secondly how many of them have the money for a RCT anyway , aside from those that have insurance in which most do not cover such treatment .If they tell them the price, dem go they talk another thing .I am not a dentist but I work in a Dental health organization and I know how Nigerians reason . 3 Likes |

Kenplenty: No be lie. I did root canal therapy at teaching hospital. It was a strenuous process, you visit hospital whenever you have appointment. Drilling d canal was very painful that pain relief didn't have any impact, but once they drill to d root, other process is less Painful. Finally crowning to make d teeth strong. Costs 50k in teaching hospital |

They are just like that. I had similar experience and the dentist insisted that the only way out of my severe pain was an extraction. I refused vehemently being a side teeth (canine).. The dentist looked at me arrogantly and said he knew I would later come for extraction eventually. I rejected this and went for local treatment. Today the tooth and all others are still standing and strong at that. No one is 'a know it all: |

DoctorDree:you just displayed your ignorance to the whole world. FYI, Dentists, Surgeons and physicians are the highest paid in the health profession in Nigeria as they earn equivalent pay. Also, Dentists in private practice make a lot of money. You should ask questions next time. To even think you added 'Doctor' to your name while being an ignoramus baffles me. 4 Likes |

Wow I never knew there were other options, I remember when my gum overlap my tooth and it was grazing when I chew, the dentist said they could surgically tear off the part of the gum overlapping or extraction, which I opt for extraction and it was the most uncomfortable moment of my life. |

gaeul:Really Are you sure you didn't visit quacks? This is untrue as extraction is the last resort.A Dentist will try to save a tooth unless its grossly broken down and can't be restored. Root canal treatment is expensive and requires multiple visits however some can be done in a single visit. Patients are also advised to crown the tooth after root canal treatment. If your tooth is extracted, there are several options to replace a missing tooth;Dentures, Bridge, Implants. "Nigerian Dentists" are not lazy maybe you just couldn't afford the cost of the treatment. 2 Likes 1 Share |
