Q. I have a crown that covers 3 teeth, looks like 3 teeth and now 2 of the tooth posts under the crown have broken off in the crown? Please is there a way I can still have the crown? I spent so much on it, I am still paying the loan, I don’t know what to do.

A. i think you are talking about a bridge. If the posts are broken the foundation has gone so the bridge might be unsaveable. Perhaps you should go back to the dentist to see what they can do if it isn’t that old they might be able to fix it for free??
