Anyone on here who is older than 60 ever had a molar tooth
Posted: Oct 6, 2012
last one start hurting and find out the canals are calcified and not knowing if you should attempt a root canal or remove the tooth. Not sure what to do.

If the tooth above or below it is there - you should attempt to save the tooth
[ In Reply To ..]If the tooth abpve pr below is already gone, there's no point in saving the tooth. Does that make sense? And age has nothing to do with this.
Agree and another suggestion - sm
[ In Reply To ..]What did your dentist advise? I think he would know the most appropriate course of action. If you want a second opinion, see an endodontist.
I agree that age has nothing to do with this. You need to keep your own teeth. The old notion that people just lost their teeth as a normal part of ageing is no longer accepted.
This is an upper back last molar. The bottom teeth are all there. I just - LAMT
[ In Reply To ..]dont want to go through a root canal with an endodontist and have a lot of pain to find out he cant get all the roots. I will be seeing my dentist on Monday and probably get a second opinion. Not happy about this.
Remove the tooth - OldMT
[ In Reply To ..]I would see a biological dentist. You'll have less problems getting rid of the tooth than putting in a root canal.
Root canal - Another OldMT
[ In Reply To ..]There is only one thing to say about root canals and that is NEVER have them, or caps/crowns. Each tooth has over 50,000 miles of energy running through it, and what you absolutely never want to do is block that energy.

Tooth Abscess Leads To $6k?Mar 27, 2012
I was pregnant about 7 months ago and I will admit during that time I did not take care of myself. I fell into a depression. I didn't take my vitamins or brushed like I should. I went to the dentist with a tooth abscess that was the size a huge grape. They took x-rays and said it ate a hole in the maxilla and it infected the tooth beside it. The tooth with the abscess is tooth #7, the one next to my buck teeth :) He said he wants to save that dead tooth (it is only hanging now by gums ...
Cat Missing, Broken Tooth, And Apr 28, 2011
I'm having a bad day. I hate birthdays, just mean that I'm getting older. The bloom is off the rose. Glory days far behind me now. Happy as a mom, though. My cat has been gone for three days and I'm not having a good feeling about his return. Don't know how to tell my 10yo of Pete's possible demise. Then, a simple cheese cracker breaks my tooth -- nice. Just gets better and better. I sort of feel like working to take my mind of ...
Teen With Impacted Canine ToothMar 27, 2012
We just found out yesterday that my 15-year-old son who has perfectly straight teeth, still has his left canine baby tooth and an impacted adult tooth above it. I wasn't given much information other than he probably needs braces. I've researched it on Google and it sounds horrible. Braces, bracketing, putting a gold chain on the impacted tooth to pull it down, surgeries, several years of treatment. Has anyone had anything like this at all happen? It sounds ...
Does Anyone On Here As You Get Older And Are Feb 19, 2012
either married or have a significant other ever feel as though you are just sort of a nonentity after some amount of time and wonder where am I going from here on. I get very tired of lack of communication and just nothing much to say. You work, do housework bla bla and just not much fun and wonder how to get out of this situation. Do you move on or just accept it or what. ...
Getting Older QuestionNov 09, 2013
I was wondering if anyone else is going through this. I turned 53 last spring, but I have been noticing that food I normally eat and have been eating for yers and years are either making me feel sick, giving me diarrhea and even heartburn. I wonder if this is an age thing and that dietary needs change. So far have identified: Milk, eggs, cheese (but not greek yogurt), ice cream (but not organic) they all upset my stomache. Chocolate candy (but not chocolate chip cookies), peanuts, ...
Husband Asking Any MT Older Than Me At 72Jun 01, 2015
I have been working so many years now and I don't really mind it but hubs and I were just talking this weekend. Have checked the following issue out with neurologist- no answer on this. I noticed problems I was having with balance, sometimes standing and veering to 1 side or the other, never knowing which way I might go. I try to play it off when others notice because it is embarrassing for me. I cannot walk a straight line, hope never stopped to check and asked to do that, find I hit my f ...
Do You Think Older Cats Can Get Sundowning?Feb 25, 2012
My ole guy is 17. He is fine during the day, but when I go to work at night, he cries and cries and seems so needy. I have 2 desks together, he sits on one at my left arm and keeps grabbing me so I cannot work, until he finally gets to sleep. I know cats are nocturnal, but I thought they were supposed to sleep something like 20 hrs a day, especially older ones. ...
Looking For Older E-mail PenpalsDec 20, 2011
Hi. I am 66 years old, a med. transcr. for 16 years, no job since February, unfortunately very few friends. I would feel blessed to have a few older e-mail friends to feel more connected to the world. I do have a small family and I'm thankful for that. They do, however, have their own lives. I live alone and for the most part do ok but sometimes do feel lonely. Would any one of you folks like a new friend for e-mailing? Maybe we could begin somethin ...
Do You Feel Your Age Or Younger/olderOct 22, 2010
I saw a post on the main board that made me think of this question. How many people feel their age or younger/older. I'm 50 years old. I took one of those on-line surveys about your real age. It told me exactly what I suspected My real age is 67. Before I ever took it I always felt older than I really am. Most days I feel in my late 60s. Just curious if people feel their age or older/younger than your age. You don't have to list your age if yo ...
Have An Older Daughter And I Mostly Stay Out Of HerFeb 17, 2014
My daughter is past 35. She was married before but that ended in divorce a few years ago. I was very at ease when she was married and figured her husband had her back. Fast forward. We live in the same town. She is now divorced and I am her next of kin. I know absolutely nothing about her business, not where she banks, not where she has her medical insurance, would think probably with her job, but not sure, don't know her physician's name, passwords to her computer, absolutely not ...
Did You Have A Hard Time With The Whole Getting Older Thing?Feb 15, 2010
I will be 40 next year and am having a hard time. I see a few gray hair. I have the aches, the hot flashes. My kids are getting older. My son will be in college in a few years.

More than half? is it downhill from here? I am almost 40, and what have I really accomplished? Married and kids...that's it. I have not "m ...

Older Women Versus Younger Women And Trump/ClintonOct 10, 2016
Women who "like" Trump are invariably older and don't like Hilary Clinton because they were raised in an era of economic competition with each for men. In the old days, men generally took care of their women, and some women lucked out with good men and some stuck it out with bad ones. Young women can take care of themselves economically so aren't as threatened by other women so they're more apt to go for HIllary. Older women also don't like Clinton because she stuck with her ...
Question About Hair. I Am Older And Have Rather Fine Hair But I Do Jan 24, 2017
get it foiled with some color in it. I have been thinking about a curly perm but I am not sure what kind to get and I would have my hairdresser do it. I dont want a fuzz ball so I am wondering if anyone here has tried this on colored hair just streaked color. I want a good perm that would last for a while and have curl to it but not tight. My hairdresser does not carrying prems anymore and the company they deal with does not sell them either. They are expensive ...
