Did it work in the long run?
I had a few visits for root canal only for the tooth to be removed about 12 months after my last visit.
I've got two that are "in the process" of being done. They've both been cleaned out, had the antibiotic plugs put in them for a few weeks then back for x-rays to confirm infection is gone.
Both have a temporary cap put on it, one was about 3 years ago and it's showing a little sign of wear and tear. I'm meant to go back for a crown ( about $2000 ) but when it falls apart I'll have it pulled.
The other I had done about 7 years ago, the temporary lasted about 4 years, had another temporary put on at the same time as the other and it's currently in the same state, a little bit of wear and tear.
Touch wood they've both got another 3-4 years in them.
None of this compares to the 3 wisdom teeth I had out that had me at home on the lounge for 8 days in a fair amount of pain.
