Q.
I have had a root canal completed on the tooth immediately to the right of my two front teeth (I think its called the #12 tooth and the one to the left of my front teeth is called the #22) a few years ago. Today the right tooth broke off completely very near the gum line (I still have the tooth piece). I’ve called my denist but can’t get in to see him for a couple of days. Is a crown an option, or is the only option extraction of the remaining tooth and then either an implant or bridge? Can you suggest the best method of treatment for this type of a situation? Thank you for your input to help me decide what I should do next.
