bridge or ?? for front teeth /Re: Root canal-breast cancer link

[Guest guest]

When I was 10 years old, I broke a front tooth off at the gumline. Dentist

pulled the nerves out (with no anesthetic...) and put a cap on it. It has

bothered me in different ways ever since. Would that have been a pulpectomy?

Anyway, the whole tooth feels loose or something now, and the thought of those

toxic materials maybe causing some of my other problems -- I would love to hear

people's thoughts and experiences on bridges or whatever I might be able to get

done there. This is my very front tooth, and the other very front tooth had a

corner broken off and a cap put over that. I really don't want to go through the

rest of my life missing a front tooth :+P

saying there's a link between root canals and breast cancer, specifically - in

one study 100% of women with breast cancer had had root canals. Wow.

on. From that time on he complained of pain in his stomach/belly button and

legs. I found out recently that belly button pain can be associated with

inflammation in the appendix so I guess we're lucky it never burst. You know

when it got better? When he had a tootsie roll and pulled the cap off (he

didn't tell me and I didn't notice for many months).
