I had root canals but should I consider implants?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Q.
About 5 years ago I had an accident that required restoration to my front top teeth. I have one missing incisor because of that accident as well that is now bridged. I had root canals on 4 teeth that are now starting to need retreats because of infection. I’ve also been told that there is some decay on one tooth that might require a reconstruction of the whole bridge area. I have a few questions, 1. should a root canal last longer than 5 years? 2. How does tooth decay happen on a root canaled/crowned tooth and is it preventable? 3. I was 25 when the accident happened and was never offered the implant option, should that be something I consider now? Thank you in advance for your answers.,

How much would it cost to get standard braces?

Monday, March 1st, 2010
Q.
I am twenty, and I did have standard braces on my top teeth when I was fifteen. They worked perfectly and I went from retainer to standard braces in one year; however, when it came to having my braces out and my retainer put in again, i hardly wore it because it was pulling my teeth backwards into my mouth which made me naively panic. Since then my teeth are straight, but the 1mm gap between my 2 front teeth has re-opened. So now I was wondering how expencive it would be to get standard braces again to close it? Thankyou,
