Apicoectomy yesterday

I have been on this site a lot looking for information on my apicoectomy. Well, I finally had to go and have it done yesterday. I was so nervous beforehand. 36 hours later and I am doing fine. The worst part about it was the injections, one or two did hurt but once I was numb that was it, I felt nothing . I did feel pressure but no pain whatsoever. I kept my eyes closed throughout just in case I caught a glimpse in a reflective surface somewhere. When the local wore off I was sore, but pain killers took that away instantly. Here I am the following day, no pain, a little tender now and again but its over and now the healing process begins. To all of you out there about to go for an apicoectomy, the worry beforehand is far worse than the procedure itself. I hope to get my 6 front teeth crowned now (have to wait 6 months though). Am actually looking forward to getting them done now that this is behind me. Any questions anybody has about it let me know, only too happy to answer them.

Re: Apicoectomy yesterday

Hi there - an apicoectomy is a surgical procedure that removes an infection usually from a failed root canal - I have a crown on my front tooth and had a root canal done about 10 years ago. Lately I have had a small lump (bubble) on my gum that was a sign of an infection. My gum needed to be cut away from my tooth so that the root could be accessed. The tooth canal is then cleaned and refilled and the gum stitched back up again. Sounds worse than it actually is

Re: Apicoectomy yesterday

How long did it take? Did you get the crown immediately? Thanks!
Peace,
Susan

Re: Apicoectomy yesterday

Hi Susan, the procedure took about 90 minutes in total - that includes getting the injections. My appointment was for 8.00 am and was done and on my way home for 9.40am. Also I already had a crown which I will be changing as I have had it for 10 years but have to wait 6 months for everything to heal fully
