Will the root need to be removed regardless of the treatment I decide to have?

Monday, May 10th, 2010
Q.
I had an upper front tooth crown on a post which became loose so my dentist lengthened it. It became loose and on removing it the root fractured. He is now going to remove the root and put a denture in its place . This seemed a good option so my gum can heal to enable implant at later date, if I dont like the denture. [decided against the bridge as too evasive. My question is why does the root need removing. We dont remove them when we have a tooth extracted, and does the root need removing whichever treatment I decide.,

Will root canal treatment make my teeth break even more?

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I have two very broken front teeth (on the bottom) which have looked awful every time I smile for years. Now they are starting to go grey so they look awful! They don’t hurt most of the time, one hurts when it gets cold but not all the time. The dentist has said I need root canal even though there is no evidence of infection etc and xray is clear. This tooth keeps breaking more every week. I am not bothered about undergoing pain but I want to get BOTH teeth looking nice and not half the size of every other front tooth. What would you suggest? Surely root canal will make them break even more?

A.
Without an examination I … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

After root treatments one of my tooth has gone loose and about to break off

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Just after 4 years after root treatments on my discoloured Front right no 1 tooth has gone loose about to break off. Went to my usual nhs dentist who offered no important info, paid to visit expensive cosmetic dentist who done digital x-ray n told me its worst poss fracture of tooth said he would not crown it as he thinks its unethical. Im a nurse practitoner and not daft when it comes to x-rays and treatments. Basically looks like an oblique fracture quite far into root. NHS dentist has aquacelled or whatever meantime but cant see me again for temp crown till 22 Dec! Looking for informed info into implant cos as a nurse i simply cant afford to pay up £3000 unless this is my only or main option. looking for advice asap please. Thank you. Oh and cant be off work for vanity reasons already been off today! Need proper solution pronto. Thank you.
