that's all they know, they re not familiar with new advances in dental science, they re so rough when cleaning your teeth, you always bleed and can't eat for one week. Just like our opticians are obsessed with prescription lenses for patients, they don't check eye pressure, clean your eyes or check for root causes even diet related ones, they just want to dilate your pupils, load useless medications and sell glasses. Our medical professionals are destroyers visit them at your own peril, your money can't save you from their wickedness. Now you know why our politician s and elite go abroad. Medical students in Nigeria are trained to see patients as guinea pigs, goto any teaching hospital and see for yourself. 1 Like |

The dentist I went to years ago sha told me extraction was the last option sha...he suggested something like treating the cavity and all that, I was happy that I won't lose a tooth till he told me the bill was 18k. I kukuma paid him 4K to have the tooth removed. So I guess extraction is the cheapest option hence why they always recommend that. 3 Likes |

DoctorDree:Exactly! When most Nigerians start having toothaches, they put hot salt solution in their mouth claiming it's worm. When that fails, they put pepper. When that fails they use Ghana or Yoruba medicine. When that fails, they finally go to the doctor and by then irreparable damage would've been done to the tooth and extraction will end up being the only possible solution 3 Likes 1 Share |

Usually because you can't afford the alternative... E expensive die Also, once your tooth is dead to a stage, no fix can bring it back. |

gaeul: To me its not laziness or anything. Sometimes they check the cost of other things and if they fell you won't be able to bear the cost they just advice you to remove it. When I removed mine, I was told about the price of getting another one plus the surgery to refix it and the likelihood that it might get infected in future. Ono I just extracted it o 1 Like |

quentin06: Not really true oo, we still have good dentists in Nigeria na. the dentist that extracted my tooth; to me is the best o. No pain at all. Sometimes I still wonder if I actually removed a tooth when I hear stories about other people |
Re: Why Do Nigerian Dentists Always Suggest Extraction? by Jessepaid(m): 6:36am On Jan 10, 2021 |
Shit...well.. What do you expect... I had an extraction some years back... The dentist personally told me that while they were interns learning dentistry, it was suggested by their teachers that they each remove one teeth from their mouths to know the feeling.. Plus extraction is way easier... And cheaper too... Have you seen the cost of a root canal procedure? It's over the roof.. plus the tooth still dies anyway.. Ps: most dentists also prefer to extract tooth from slim people.. It's cos of they have less denser bones compared to muscular and big people and the tooth comes out more easily... And they require less anaesthesia than muscular people... |

I Removed 2 abnormally placed teeth in my lower jaw by skilled dentists at NAUTH Nnewi in 2016. It was quick and painless. I was anesthesized. My entire dentition was cleaned and scaled with removal of trapped ossified substances and pus. But medications plenty ooh. Procedures wasn't that costly. 4 Likes |

akaahs: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 . 2 Likes |

Perhaps you have been going to the wrong dentists. There are a lot of competent dentist who carry out root canal treatments in Lagos- that I know! Even better than abroad- I have my proof. A root canal treatment + filling + crown will cost you between 250,000 to 300,000 at some of the best dentists. Some people just opt for extraction when they see the bill. It is far more lucrative for a dentist to preserve than extract your tooth! 2 Likes |
