My doctor has suggest two option to create my perfect smile, a brace or root canal surgery. Which is the better option?

Thursday, April 7th, 2011
Q.

Hi
I have been having consultations with a dentits. He was going to fit several crowns and veneers with a bridge to create a perfect smile. However he has said today after taking molds that one of my teeth is too crooked and that really I need braces onit. I cant afford this and it would take years. He said the only alternative was to do a root canal kill off the tooth and put a porcelain veneer on top, he said there were risks and it was un ethical, but as I still seemed interested he would do it for me. To me any type of purely cosmetric dentistry is invasive and could be seen as unethical. Do you think it is ok to carry on with this? inorder to achieve what I set out to do or is it too much of a risk? Many thanks

Thursday, March 31st, 2011
Q.

lower molar gets root canal 2 years ago. x-ray at time shows suspicious small shaded area beneath the root that may be infection. so no crown is put on in case the infection develops and removal is req’d. Now, infection starts to erupt from gum surrounding the tooth. Dentist suspects fractured tooth has been cause but not seen on xray. new xray now suggests infection spreading in bone. Is there really any option but removal?
