Q. Hi could you please tell me how long it is safe to leave a chronic discharging sinus for?, UL1 ive had it for about a year doesnt really bother me, i burst it every day and place TCP on it,asthetically its a perfect looking tooth already had two apecectomies next stage inplants for me, crowns are either side of UL1 is a temp bridge a possibility, do not want a denture,help many thanks
A.
You probably dont want the answer, but the outlook for the tooth is poor and you should investigate taking it out. the longer the infection runs, the greater likely bone loss on healing. The will affect the success of future replacement options such as bridges and implant.
I’m happy to take a look if needed (no charge)
