does anyone have a idea of cost of getting your cavatation sorted out. in the uk.

hi smitho i phoned two dentists last week about this if you want to have a cavitat scan done its £300 i dont know excactly how much the actual operation is but i think it ranges from £200 onwards depending on how many you got too there are quite afew dentists that do it but only two in the uk that has a cavitat scan that i know of.

hi smitho, i had a couple done, a small one was £225 and big one was £425.

dawn what symptoms did you have that made you think you had cavitations do you feel any better after having them cleaned out

Hi clare, its hard to say, cos im so poisoned, i certainly didnt get relief overnight, i was still sufering from depression, anxiety, tinnitus, headaches and earaches.
I never had jaw pain as such, i do get some jaw pain but only occasionly.
The main reasons for having them cleaned was that i had a tooth pulled a couple of weeks earlier which was a root canal, and it wasnt pulled proerly as it only took 5 minutes to doI told this new dentist about it and he did an xray and he could see that it needed doing, it was never going to heal on its own.
Also there was a big area of gum where 3 teeth had been and he could see the outline on the xray of where the teeth were originally, so to avoid future probs i told him to open it all up and clean it.
Have you got teeth missing?

i have 4 teeth missing and i had a dry socket after one of them was extracted my headaches are the worse cause there constant if i do have cavitations then theve probably been there for years

thanks for the replys. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> clare where are the two places you know that do cavitat scan. i know theres one in pool in dorset.
surley theres one in london. ive only had 1 tooth extracted which was a wisdom tooth.ive noticed i get a slight pain sometimes.so may be i have a cavitation.

the one in poole is john ahearne i was told he was one of the best for cavitations the other is graeme munro hall i think hes in bedford they both use that scan do you live down south smitho?

My cavitations are about $300 CDN each unless there are complications. Gosh, yours were expensive Dawn, that is alot of money. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Hi clare.i live near oxford. so its not too bad for me.

Hi Sandi, yeh, i know, i just hope i dont have to have any more.
My dentist is in London, near Harley strt so thats why the price is high.

Dawn

which dentist did you go to and did you have a cavitat scan?

Ray

Hi ray, I went to Dr david harvie Austin.
He is in Weymouth strt.
I had a panoramic xray which he sends you to over the road from him.
Do you think you have cavitations?

Hi Dawn,

I have only had one tooth removed from my mouth, I went to have a cavitat scan about a month ago on the area and it was all clear. I went to john ahearne in poole. It is my understanding that the cavitat scan is the best diagnostic tool to detect cavitations. I have a friend who had cavitations cleaned and got a lot better.

does harvie-austin say he can see cavitations from x-rays if so how?!

Hope you are well.

Ray

Hi ray, he says he was especially trained in America to do the surgery and to look at cavitations on panoramic xray.
I have read thats its not always necessary for a cavitate scan.
