My molar teeth filled with amalgum is slightly loose do i need a crown or do it need a root canal

Sunday, June 21st, 2009
Q.
I have a molar which had been filled with amalgum about 8 years ago in a cross shape. Recently two p[ieces of the tooth around the edge have broken off leaving the filling and the front part of the tooth. The filling is slightly loose. There is no pain in the tooth atall. Do you think this would need crowning or can it just be built up and smoothed off with white stuff. And if a crown in required would it need a post, as its a molar. Also what is the criteria for doing a root canal, was wondering if this would be necessary aswell. Thanks

My front teeth are loose and my dentist broke it so being a smoke can i have dental implants

Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have just returned from my dentist having had a very unpleasant time. I am quite anxious but now I am petrified, I have had a post and cron for my fromt tooth for many years. I have also had other front teeth crowned for cosmentic purposes many years ago. Over the past few days my front tooth appeard to be loose. The dentist has broken it right off today which I am not at all pleased about. He says I now need a bridge and have to have the root of the front tooth cut out. I asked him about an inplant he said a flat no because I smoke – ( not musc though) I am not prepared to wear a denture so can you please advise. Today my dentist was taking an impression and as I have a high palate he over filled it with the gunge which of course oozed out making me feel like I was choking – I panicked and tried to let him know what was happening – this stuff slipping down my throat but I could not speak – I then had no choice but to try and remove this from my airway he pushed me into the cahir and I then flipped and managed to get this out of my mouth. He was not happy and I was shaking it scared me and being pushed into the chair scared me more I guess. I am now left with a temporary crown on a post which is wobbling around I darent eat . Now I am even more petrified. Please advise. I dont see why I cannot have another post and crown. He said the root had split but I dont know how he can say that without an xray. I am almost beside myself now. Thank you for your time

I knocked part of my front four teeth which would be a better option crowns or veneers

Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I’ve had a bit of an accident today and knocked part of my front four teeth out (about half of each). I was thinking of having veneers anyway to correct them as they were slightly crooked but am now wondering whether these can be fitted over these broken teeth. Would crowns be better? I was under the impression that veneers just looked better. Thanks.

My crown has loosen and small infection has appeared should i take the tooth out or have apicectomy

Friday, June 19th, 2009
Q.
I have a crown in upper tooth #2 which has been there for over 15 years. I have a minor infection about 5 years a go when my crown came a little loose. It was treated with antibiotics and all has been well, until now. The crown has come loose again and a small infection has appeared in the gum above. It does not cause any pain, but I went to the Dentist immediately. The X-Ray showed that some of the root canal had escaped from the tip of the root and was causing the infection. I have therefore been given two options: a) take the tooth out, b) have an apicectomy. Not a great choice, but I am in a real dilemma. I don’t like the sound of an apicectomy but I don’t really want the root removed because I would have to have a bridging crowb of some sort. Is having a apicectomy really worth it? Can it cause more harm than good? If I have a bridge, I believe its life span is 10-15 years. Is it easily removed and replaced? Please help me decide.
