What is the money tooth and why is it called that?
The first mandibular molar #19 and #30 is considered the
most commonly treated tooth in dentistry.
Reasons are: over the years, more restorations follow and they keep
getting bigger and bigger until a root canal is involved.
Treating this tooth requires a large sum of investment over
a lifetime. Dental implants are a good
long terms solution to replacing lost teeth, but they’re not cheap. Dentists
use a titanium screw in the jawbone in addition to a prosthetic tooth. A proper
implant has no physical downsides and has good longevity. However, the problem
is the cost for most of us struggling to pay off our monthly bills. Most
dentists refer patients to oral surgeons, periodontists, or prosthodontists
special care. If you need an implant near a nerve or sinus cavity, it is worth
paying for a periodontists or surgeon who has specialized training.
