Q. I fell flat on my face at the weekend and have broken two of my top front teeth. I went to my dentist today and because one of them only has a small peice of tooth left in the gum and is quite painful she has said that I need a root canal and then it will need to to capped. She states that there is nothing they can do as a temporary fix and my first appointment for the root canal is 2 weeks away and then I will have to wait another two weeks for the trestment to be completed. The other tooth is slightly longer and she thinks that she can just fill it which concerns me as there will be a lot more filling than tooth and as it is my biting tooth Im worried the filling may fall out all the time and look a bit rough. Id rather pay more and have another cap or do you think a filling would surfice? The last thing I want is a dodgy job done, I want to look like I did before the fall! Is it true that there is no temporary measure they can do as I cant really have a month of work and there is no way I can go out in public like this!
