This Question From X-ray Jokes | 2 Answers
This tooth was previously root canaled. I thought it was not done before so the dentist drilled this tooth and found that a root canal had already been done before so he resealed it and put a new crown (old one was chipped) on.
Now, I am positive I have an infection. The superior gum margin is sore and X-ray is non-contributative because the
infection is small. Three grams/day Amoxycillin for 10 days did not work. Nor did Augmentin work. Now I’m trying Ciprofloxacine. If this antibiotic doesn’t work? What other antibiotic would be next in line to use. What surgical intervention can be done in this delicate case, as a last resort; aside of extracting the tooth. I truly need your advise. The dentist thinks I’m joking because he can’t see anything on the x-ray. Help!

I find that extremely hard to believe. A dentist is not going to “drill into” a tooth without first having an x-ray of the tooth. An x-ray will show whether or not a root canal has been performed. Thus, the dentist would have known before he “drilled into” the tooth if it had previous root canal therapy.
rather unbelievable..unless he wa a quack
