Could you plz explain me how my tooth be saved?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
About 2 weeks ago, I was hit with a football. I experienced pain and noticed my tooth was loose in every way. Quickly, I braced my tooth using floss and other tooth on opposite side. I have not, and today used front teeth for anything. After a few days,I experienced no pain and sensitivity was reduced. Hot and cold has no effect. Considering that I have very good teeth, 8 or 9 days later, I knew something wasn’t right. I went to my local emergency dental clinic. After the Dr. evaluated x-ray, he said I did the right thing (bracing). The “right part” of root on my lower incisor is cracked. He noticed no inflammation. He wants me to keep bracing and schedule appt. with my Dentist in 2-3 weeks. He said to look 4 color change and on that later appt. with my Dentist, they will run test… Can you please explain the test? Also, I know teeth are (avascular), what is it that I’m hoping for? I’m so upset and fear the worst. If needed, regardless price, I will have to get an implant asap. Please explain how my tooth may be saved? Thank you

Recommend some dentists who implants dentures in Birmingham.

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have been wearing a denture for 30 years, I have 3 front top middle teeth. My denture is a metal plate with 2 wires that wrap around my teeth. I have had 3-4 in total also tried acylic one at one stage of which made me keep heeving, couldn’t take to it at all. My denture now is very lose and irritating my palet and gums I expect and my dentist today suggests I have another acrylic one without wires as he doesn’t recomend the metal ones anymore. He has quoted me £198 (nhs). I was wandering if I would perhaps be able to have a Valplast one with some back teeth on as I haven’t had any back top teeth since I was 19 – 20yrs old. If I could I would rather put the £198 towards this as if I have another acylic one I may not be able to wear it again. I live in Birmingham. could you give me some idea of a price and maybe recomend someone In Birmingham. I am getting married in September this year and would love the confidence to smile. Many thanks.

My mandibular canine is shifting a bit can you advice on it?

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr. Patel, I have a permanent retainer on my mandibular incisors for about 6 months now. Past 2 weeks I am noticing that my left mandibular canine is shifting a bit when my tongue puts slight pressure on it. This canine is the last tooth the retainer is attached to… I am worried about why this canine is not stable as my other teeth, and why is feels so loose. I am definelty not looking forward to letting my canine fall out… Like I said, you can’t see the canine moving, but I can feel it going back and forth… Is this something I should get checked right away? I am a dental hygiene student age 19
