Q. Several yrs ago I had 5 front teeth worked on. 3 are on a bridge 2 were on posts. 2 yrs ago one of the teeth broke off at the root (abssesed) and had to have it pulled. Now one of the front teeth which is on a post is loose. I went to a dentist and he tried to remove cap but couldn’t. He used what he called a blue bos. Felt like a hydaulic hammer. Now he says he will have to cut the cap off, replace the post & make a bridge for the front tooth, the tooth next to it (currently have to wear mouth piece and use one of my incisors for the bridge. My concern is what if the root which has had 2 prior root conals done on it (freak, yes) also breaks off at the root. The other side of this is fron tooth capped, next tooth capped, next tooth incisor tooth missing and part of bridge. So we are talking about my entire front teeth. I hope you understand and can help. I am worried. My dentist can’t get me in until Dec. 3rd, although he got me in in a week of never seeing him before and then again that very same day.
A. It sounds like you need to have the teeth fully assessed if they are that weak you may need to think about dental implants, which will provide you with new teeth and last a lot longer.
