-

Nothing but clouds on the horizon and a lot more mileage on the car.
Now you have no more teeth left, except maybe in the front – if you’re lucky. And still, nobody knows where the pain is coming from. It would have made your life a lot easier if this „vicious circle“ had been stopped much earlier, e.g. with a properly performed root canal or root tip resection.

Hopefully only a few of you have gotten to this point, because for most of you this ordeal should have ended sooner – with some competent professional treatment.

So why is the toothache still around?
Well, there are many reasons, and it usually takes an experienced team working together closely to solve the problem. For example, your body may be so used to feeling pain that some vestige of it remains even after the cause is gone. Also, your jaw may just be stressed out from the operations and tooth loss it has to undergo. There may be inflammations somewhere in the bone, or maxillary sinus. Or maybe monomers have seeped in to the bones (although no studies are as yet available on this topic). Or maybe there are still some teeth left that are causing problems.

Lots of ands, ifs or buts to clear up, and hopefully you haven’t already had a nervous breakdown in the process.
