Any other alternative for broken front top tooth then built the tooth

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi, last year my 10 year old son fell and broke his front top tooth abouth half way. We took him to the dentist who built the tooth back up. He had no problems for the first 9 to 10 months but recently he has been getting pain in his tooth. We took him back to see his dentist ( a different one as the first one had left the practise ) and they said that he needs root canal surgery. I asked if there was another alternative to this and was just given a no! Just wondering if you could give me any other options which could possibly be done. Thanks.

How to remove a broken baby tooth?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hey I have a tooth that is a molar that is broken that was broken since about 8 years ago and its not infected but was wondering how my dentist would remove it as it is a baby tooth. basically I would love to hear many options and the thing is that all the sides of the tooth is still up but the middle is all gone. So I was wondering what kind of ways a dentist could remove a tooth like that?

im suffering from sensitive gumline after restoration plz advice?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had a white restoration on a lower right molar today. After having drilled out the bulk of the old filling, my dentist was using an instrument with some force when the inner side of the tooth broke off (I felt it ‘go’ and it flew up into my line of sight). As a result, he “was not able to contour the tooth the way he would have liked to” and (now the anaesthetic has worn off) the restoration feels quite uncomfortably sensitive on the gumline and the tooth has an unnatural shape that seems to trap food when I eat and which feels weird as well. After the procedure, my dentist said that things hadn’t gone as expected and he’d “used an instrument to check how strong the tooth was and sometimes during this procedure, the tooth breaks”. Having thought about this it seems completely counter-intuitive that someone would risk breaking the structure of the tooth as he stated and I’m sceptical that he told me the truth. Is there such an instrument to test the strength of the tooth? My feeling is that it broke while he was using a ‘pick’ to try to break out some old amalgam filling in the drilled cavity. I like my dentist and he’s done really good work for me in the past, but having parted with £170 for this procedure (on top of the other charges for Hygienist Visit, X-Rays and 10 Point Exam the previous day), I suddenly lack trust in him and I’m wondering if I should spend my money elsewhere in future. I appreciate that any answer you might give is nothing more than an opinion and has no legal meaning or weight, but I’d really appreciate your take on this situation as I’m at a loss as to what I should do. Best regards,

One side of my veneers had fallen off, can it be bonded back together with less cost?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had veneers put in 2 years ago and had a broken front one replaced free of charge last year. Unfortunately one of the side ones has now cracked and half of it has fallen off. I have contacted my dentist and asked about ‘fixing’ it back on but he is saying a brand new veneer at £600.00 is the only option. Can Veneers not be bonded back together is it is a clean break? Maybe I’m just getting fed up of spending more on top of the original £10,000! thanks
