I hate dentists. I hope you won’t be offended by that I just find it’s best to be honest up front. I have what is possibly a tooth infection. It hurts. So, if I’m going to suck it up and go in to see a dentist, I want to get as much work done as possible. What’s the most work I could get done in just one visit?<\/p>\n

Dear Carlton,<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

I’m sorry about your toothache. Your admission about dentists doesn’t offend me in the least. I also think it’s important for patients to be upfront about things. It helps me to know the best treatment options for them. <\/p>\n

How much work can get done in one appointment varies so much from dentist to dentist it’s hard to give you an estimate. Plus, you didn’t mention what procedures you think you’ll need. A tooth infection will need a root canal treatment. However, I don’t know if you’re talking about a root canal on a front tooth or a molar. That also varies in time. Some dentists can do a molar in one hour, but most take up to one and a half to two hours. <\/p>\n

Dentists who use dental sedation<\/a> are usually able to get more work done per appointment. The reason for that is it’s easier on the patient. Dentists limit the patient’s time in the chair out of consideration for their comfort. Sedation keeps them comfortable for longer periods of time. You may even find it changes your outlook about dental care and start going more regularly.<\/p>\n

Tooth Pain is a Dental Emergency<\/h2>\n

Please don’t put this off too long. Tooth pain is often a sign of a dental infection<\/a>. I know it sounds hard to believe but people still die of tooth infections. The United States saw several deaths from from infected teeth in 2017. <\/p>\n

The sooner you deal with it the better. It may be the tooth can be saved. If it gets too far along, it will end up needing to be extracted. That will require expensive tooth replacements, such as dental implants<\/a>. <\/p>\n
