I had a root canal done back in January 08. In May the same tooth was giving me problems. I went to another dentist to see what the problem was. She couldnt figure out why my tooth still hurt so referred me to an endodontist. The endo took an xray and told me i had a file stuck in my mesiobuccal canal and that it wasnt completely done. I contacted the dentist who performed the orginal root canal and explained that he cant get it out and I should go to the endo. I got the endo to take it out 3 months later and clean out the canals, but the dentist refused to pay. I have since had TMJ/bruxism and am grinding my teeth at night. I have had 2 more root canals since this incident with the file. I have filed a complaint with the dental board against the orignal dentist for work below the standard of care and his failure to tell me about the broken file. I always go to the dentist 2x a year and have always followed treatment plans. After this incident i have had a bunch of dental problems. Can the teeth grinding that led to the 2 other root canals be caused by the file left in my tooth for so long? The dental board hasnt made a decision yet, but speaking to the case officer it sounds as if they will side with me as he didnt take proper records and failed to inform me of the file. I am a bit worried about the additional costs for the 2 additional root canals. Anyone know the best way to approach this as I feel i shouldnt have to cop the additional costs.

Thank you
I understand about the other 2 RCs. Actually the bruxism was discovered after the 1st RC, when it was found i still i had the file in me. The endo wrote up a report as I was in alot of pain and missed a bunch of work for the file that was left in my tooth. The endo wrote 2 reports about the file and the poor apicectomy the dentist peformed on me. The dental board said they can only refund me the $$ I paid the dentist at fault. The board said I would have to chase up additional costs on my own. This makes me mad as I now will have to contact a lawyer to recover the treatment costs for the tooth at fault. I tried to settle with the dentist and his staff, but he would have none of it. The board said he could lose his license and have to take classes, which is a huge blow to him, but doesnt put the $$ back in my wallet which i had to pay. The whole issue has become a very stressful thing for me. I just want what is fair for the costs and missed days of work.

I have TMJ and very tight muscles from grinding my teeth. The pain is unreal. It affects my quality of life. I use Takara Japanese Detox pads to control the pain and they do work extremely well. I just get tired of sticking pads to my face every night.

I want to STOP grinding while I’m asleep. I know everyone says it can’t be done, but there must be a way! I don’t give up easily.

I am skeptical of the cure for bruxism website. I can’t find mention of it on TMJ boards and I can’t find reviews of the program anywhere. I just thought I’d post here for the heck of it.
I have a night guard, yes. I paid $400 for it.

I just grind on it and clench hard on it when I sleep. This protects my teeth, but it doesn’t stop the grinding. Also it doesn’t stop the tight muscles or the pain.
I have been clenching/gfinding since fifth grade. This has nothing to do with medication. But thanks for the ideas. I was hoping someone would answer about the website.

I have the bad habit of grinding my teeth (also called “bruxism” I think)… It’s some kind of anxiety problem or plainly an habit I gotten into a long time ago.

While by now I never felt side effects (or never seen a dramatic change on my mouth), I often wonder if at large I’m going to have any problem involving damaged teeth, sensitivity or something similar.

Do you have any advice for me?
