Is there anything else I can do to help speed up the tightening of my teeth?

Friday, May 21st, 2010
Q.
Hello, I’ve had a knock to my face which has left about 3 of my teeth loose and very painfull also slightly chipped at the tip. I have been checked over by a dentist who suggested that the ligaments may be stretched and hopefull that they should tighten back to normal. I also had an x-ray which has shown a very faint crack although the dentist was not certain. I had a test done that indicated the teeth are still alive. The dentist advised of a review in a weeks time and another x-ray to see if the potential crack has darkened. The dentist has also advised on a soft diet. Is there anything else I can do to help my recovery and speed up the tightening of my teeth? I have been drinking lots of milk and also applying ice to my lip in the area were my teeth are painfull, not sure if i’m helping though. I will look forward to your response.,

Is it worth getting lava caps at this point or should I wait until my teeth are in the more “ruined” state?

Friday, May 21st, 2010
Q.
My 4 front upper teeth are somewhat chipped and have had several bonding procedures. I have asked my dentist for a way of preserving the teeth from further chipping and deterioration. He suggested Lava caps. My biggest concern is about the filing of the tooth. My dentist said that old bonding will be filed off but also he will need to file off some of my teeth. Is it worth doing at this point or should I wait until my teeth are in the more “ruined” state? I am concerned because I always remember being told that it’s better to retain as much of the natural tooth as possible. What should I do??? Thank you ever so much for your advise.

Can I save the tooth after having 2 infections from it?

Thursday, April 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi I am female, healthy, aged 47 and 7 months I fell whilst walking on Mt Snowdon in Wales. On falling my face hit a rock and took the impact of the fall chipping one of my front teeth, knocking the other one and the tooth next to it backwards and sidewards so they are now out of aligment. I have had both teeth that were pushed out of place root canal filled, however, my front tooth has an infection which I can feel just below my nose. 4 wks ago I had an apicectomy carried out at my local hospital. No fracture to the root was discovered during the procedure and the infection was removed. However, the infection returned after several days and is still persisting. I revisit the hospital next week, however, ahead of this I would like to know next steps and if there is still anything that can be done to save the tooth. I look forward to hearing from you.,
