Are There Any Alternatives to Root Canal Treatment?

Monday, September 15th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Gambroudes, I’m hoping you can help me with my problem.  I have a deep filling in my second top molar which has a very big cavity. As I’ve mentioned,  is currently patched up with a deep filling, but I have been advised by my dentist that root canal treatment will be required if it gets much worse. I do not want root canal treatment at all, but I also don’t want my tooth to die and lose colour.

Instead of root canal surgery, what can be offered to keep the appearance of a good tooth?

I understand that surgery will probably be required, but don’t know the options or the costs.

Thanks in advance.

I am worried that my son’s teeth will not develop correctly in the future, what should I do?

Q.

hello,

my 9 year old son got tripped over at school today when he was running and fell on the school playground and hit his face onto the ground and broke a few of the teeths at the front, the front top 2 tooths were broken in half with sharp egdes and a couple below has small pieces broken off too.
i took him to the dentist straight away but had to wait 2-3 hours to be seen and they have placed some tempory filling and also some cream on where his nerves are exposed behind 1 of the front teeth.
they have booked him in again in 2 weeks time for fillings.
will this effect his damaged teeths in future?
will the filling break off and will he need to change his teeths when he gets older as he’s only 9 years old now.
i am very worried, please advise me!

best regards.

My new dental crown does fit along the gumline, should I be worried?

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012
Q.

My lower right 3er molar whit a big metal filling inside, cracked just up to the gum line. The dentist did a porcelain crown on metal. He said he did not want to trim the sides of the tooth too much therefore the porcelain crown border is almost 2mm over the gum line next to the cheek inside, exposing the tooth between the crown border and the gum. Instead the crown border is precisely at the gum line in the other side next to the tongue.
Is not dangerous to leave the tooth exposed between the crown border and the gum line?
Or is it worse to trim more the tooth?.Thank you for any information

It would only be a problem if … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
