A. Many thanks for your email, from the sounds of it the tooth has been subject to attack by periodontal disease. it needs to be taken out. the options after this are to 1: replace with a denture, 2: replace with a bridge 3: if possible replace with a dental implant.
hope this is helpful.
how do you help a person with the worst case of periodontics disease. when there is broken,chip and rotten teeth,alone with plaque build up. need help.
Root canal might work for one tooth but you might have another sensitive tooth. although its difficult to accept it might be worth loosing the worst teeth and replacing them with dental implants, before all the bone is lost.
Hello, It sounds like it is important for your friend to visit a dentist as soon as possible. The dentist can then refer he/she to a periodontist if neccesary and evaluate the treatment neccesary. The dentist can then prioritise treatment and secure his/her teeth for his/her future.
