So I just looked over everything. It looked like what he had done was a vital pulpotomy. Anyone ever heard of it? The tooth is still alive so it wasn't really a "root canal" in any way.
Oh they also found a dead tooth, one of his top row small teeth. So they pulled that since infection was about to start apparently. She said that could have been bothering him more so than the canine tooth.
Good news was that she was really worried about the indent in his upper palate being really deep and maybe almost touching the bone but it was not and she believes he may even grow some of it back since he's still young enough!
Other than that, his teeth were pretty healthy, but she cleaned off all tarter that had started on those canine teeth. She did say he had sensitive gums and they bled a bit, but she said it wasn't totally abnormal, he may just have soft gums.
Either way, I am sooo glad I brought him in when I did -- before that rotten tooth started getting really bad, or even more rotten, and then of course the major issue with the canine tooth. |
