Do I have my tooth extracted OR the root canal treatment?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
My dentist has given me the option of root canal treatment or extraction on a tooth, lower jaw, back right. The tooth is already heavily filled with amalgam. I am a very nervous patient (terrified more like). Is it worth the pain, possible side effects and cost of root canal treatment for an already heavily ‘filled’ tooth?,

Will my receding gums stop my dental bridge from being fitted?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
I had a front tooth extracted that needed to be taken out due to bone lose. The gum above the tooth also started to receed.The recession was not bad, the gum just started to pull away from the tooth a little. I believe the cause was harsh brushing. I now wear a flipper and hate it. I am going in in three days for a dental bridge consultaion. I want to know if my receeded gum will hamper my ability to be fitted for a bridge, or can a bridge be built to cover the bit of gum that has pulled back.,

What treatment is available for a Loose front tooth on the lower jaw?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi Rob. A very quick question on behalf of my father. He has a loose front tooth on his lower jaw and I wanted to check what his options were in terms of treatment. His 55 years old. I dont know whether dentists still cement loose teeth or whether that practice has stopped. From a quick search on the net it seems that either a denture with a single tooth, core & post or splinting are the 3 main options. Is this case or is there other options? Any information/advice would be hugely appreciated. regards.,
