Dental treatment
Dental doctor told me that if there is no sensation nor pain within the root of that tooth...that tooth is most likely 'eaten up' slowly by organisms and the nerves also detroyed. So no pain within the tooth.
There is bound to be bacterias staying around the root of the tooth. Any surgical procedure could let the bacterias get into the whole body's blood stream. As the bacteria travlled around the bllod stream, some con cause heart, kidney, brain and other sickness.
Fortunately most people have body resistance that could fight the infection. It may happen like the root of the tooth with nerve and pulp desroyed gradually. If bacteria get to the important site and cause dsiturbance to various part of the body, then there would be Endocarditis with heart inflammation and heart attack. Stroke, Nephritis ( kidney infection & inflamation).
Dentist usually check the root of the tooth again with X Ray and careful check up. Then the Cardiologist ( heart specialist) will proceed with Ecocardiogram to check any vegetation around the heart valves.
Soft pieces of vegetation may be dislodged and casue Stroke,
Follow up and have check up again with a good timing.
Good luck !

I just had my molar tooth removed last Friday as it has decayed beyond repair. To remove a tooth is nothing to most of the people. But to me, it is a big thing. First, I have to consult my heart specialist whether I could stop my plavix for 5 to 7 days as advised by my dentist. During this 5 to 7 days, I was quite concerned about my blood flow. I patiently waited for 5 days without plavix. I went to the Dentist in the morning. Thnak God, the extraction was very smooth and it did not breed very much. Tooth pain is the most terrible experience. It affect the nerve of one's face, ears and head.
Dr Chong, thanks for the valuable information.
