If a person had a root canal, and that root canal went bad after years, and the denstist suggested that the person needed surgery to deal with the infection that happened from that, and the surgery did not work out well, so now the denstist said that the person should see an endo-dental professional for perhaps implants... how long should the person wait to get more endo surgery, and how painful is it, and what is the outcome?

If you have any choice, go for dental implants; I have them, and they're great.
The procedure sounds gruesome, but if you have a good oral surgeon, it's not bad at all.
The surgery starts with the docor giving you several shots in and around where they're going to operate. Once you're numb, the cut back your gums in an 'X' pattern whereever they're going to install the implants. Then they use an irrigated drill to dill a hole in your jawbone. The irrigated drill may scare you into thinking that you're bleeding like crazy, but it's just water. Then, they take a small cylinder with holes drilled in it and cover it in a bone graft powder and insert it into the hole with part of the cylinder. They then put a cap on the top of the cylinder and stitch your gums back. After everything heals, they remove the cap and replace it with special hardware that you false teeth are permanently attached to.
The recovery isn't taht bad, my doc prescibed an antibiotic and a painkiller which both lasted for two weeks. I only took the painkillers for 4 days, after which I just took 1 tylenol before going to bed. The first day or two will be bad, but the swelling is minimal, and you should be back to normal in less than a week.
The falsies can't be taken out, but you don't have to take any special care other than regular brushing and flossing and rinsing very thoroughly to make sure nothing gets trapped between the implant tooth and the gumline.

I in simple terms had my 4 understanding tooth extracted 2 weeks in the past, and that i'm 24wks pregnant. They have been already grown down so as that they simply mandatory to be pulled out, and all they used replaced into novacaine. they gained't positioned you under in any respect once you're pregnant, yet you may get dental artwork achieved with utilising in simple terms novacaine, if that's an selection for you.
