Can a root canal be performed on a top front tooth that already has a cap on it without removing the cap? if yes would it be just as strong? Thanks….,

My tooth have cracks and I have gum recession. Any advice would be appreciated?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Dr Solanki, Im very worried about my teeth as i have a few issues. They are all cracked and erroading away. they feel wobbily, and i haave a bad night grinding problem. i visited a few dentists, who just seemed to want to make money off me, rather than actually addressing the problems. ive lost 5mm on both sets of teeth. I have visible cracks that are getting worse. My gums are also bad due to receeding. My last dentist jsut said that they wernt as bad as i thought , cleaned them and that was it. every so oftern i get shards of tooth break away inn my mouth, and as mentioned earlier, they are geting more and more wobbily and ground down. My dentist told me that capping could be a possible opton, but not without embracing a whole load of other issues too. im not getting very far with reegards to diagnosing issues and possible treatment. any advice would be very much appreciated. thank and regards,

Should my dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix my problem?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Q.
I just had my very back tooth capped last year and had gone back to the dentist for my yearly check-up and was told that I had a leaking tooth where it was just capped which indicated decay. Should the dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix the problem. They mention several times how well I take care of my teeth with brushing and flossing so I do not think it was my fault. Please advise, thank you!,

Cap is wobbly but dentist says it doesn’t require treatment. Is she right?

Friday, August 13th, 2010
Q.
Hi, i had a cap put in earlier this year to replace a front tooth. Now it has become wobbly and loose, i told my dentist about it and she took a look at it and said that a wobbly cap doesnt need any treatment. This sounds wrong to me so im here basically for a second opinion. Should a wobbly/loose front cap be left untreated until the inevitable happens and it falls out (probably at the worst possible time)?,

My tooth cap came out and my dentist said it was normal for it to come out so soon. Is he lying?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Q.
Sorry to bug you but I had a tooth cap put on in 2008 and it came off like 2 weeks ago 2010 and I cant find it. The dentist that I go to said that it’s normal that it comes out so soon. I do the best to take care of my teeth. I just think that they are lying to me. Please get back soon.,
