"stabident"

I went in for a small filling on what was other wise a healthy tooth. My dentist wanted to try stabident. I found it very uncomfortable so say the least. The pain in the tooth and jaw still remained. About a week to ten days after the stabident / filling the whole side of my face had swollen up. I went back to the denist and he said now I needed a root canal. I asked how this could happen on such a healthy tooth and he explained tooth trama due to the filling. I believe it was the stabident. Is there an increased risk of infection with this proceedure. The end result is pain / numness still in my jaw and tooth and the root canal on what I though was a health tooth

In 9 days, I have a dental appointment to get two cavities filled on my uninjured side. I had little trouble getting a cavity filled on the numb side without injection a few weeks ago.

I discussed my fear of furthur nerve injury with my dentist who suggested anesthesizing just the tooth itself. What risks are there in having this done? I thought it sounded like a reasonable alternative but if pain, numbness and/or tooth trauma can occur with this procedure, I might decide to have no anesthestic at all.

Does anyone have any recent info on Stabident?

I'd recommend no anesthetic at all. That's what I do now if I need any dental work done... yes it's difficult but nothing is worth a lifetime of nerve damage as you well know. In my last root canal I had the tooth drilled out down to the roots without anesthetic with no problem. When it was time to clean out the roots he tried without anything but I found it just too painful so he injected the roots with carbocaine... worked like a charm and I had no danger of nerve damage as the anesthetic never got outside of the root.
