I have a crown that falls out every couple of months, what is the problem?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Q.

I have a crown with a post (upper) that keeps falling out every couple of months. To begin with I had no problems with it. I would like to know if there are a variety of posts? Is there a post that would anchor the crown securly? At present it seems that it is a kind of “glue” that is being used to fix the crown.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you!

Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I am a 36 year old lady and over the last 15 years, due to 10 years of sufferering from bulimia, my two front teeth have worn down and are now slightly shorter than the rest of my top teeth. I was always told that I had an amazing smile and beautiful teeth. But not any more. I am looking into what options there are to adding a couple of mil in length to those top two teeth ( or veneers ?). I don’t even know if any thing is possible to fix this. Could you please be kind enough to get back to me and also advise me how much I would have to save up to get this corrected, many thanks.

Do I need my crown removed for root canal treatment?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

When I was about 12 years old, I broke my front tooth playing. So, my dentist placed a temp cap because I also was wearing braces. once my correction was complete (when I was 16 or so), she replaced my cap with a ceramic cap (no root canal). Now I am 25 and during one of my regular check up, a different dentist suggested that I get a root canal treatment and then have a ceramic cap placed. My question is, since it is my front tooth, I am very paranoid about any treatment (coz it affects my looks) and wanted to know if a root canal and a ceramic cap will be a life long solution…are there any drawbacks?
