Hello Dr Hughes. My (I think it’s called a canine tooth, it’s 3rd tooth from the front to the left) has had a filling on it from when it broke in half about two years ago. The filling has come out, and I’m left with half a tooth again. Is this counted as an emergency? Or will I have to wait two weeks as that’s the only date they can see me? I don’t have any real pain but I am finding it very hard to eat and my tooth feels funny a lot of the time. Thank you in advance.
Hello Dr Gambroudes. A while ago one of my fillings came loose and fell out. The tooth then cracked, then the tooth fell out. However, there is still the root and a tiny but of tooth still present. I had an abscess, but I couldn’t get an appointment at the dentist’s until days after I got it and it eventually went away, so I never bothered going to the dentist after all. The area around the broken tooth is very red and a bit lumpy. I do not get any pain from this tooth, but should I be worried? Do you think I should go to the dentist anyway to make sure everything is okay? Thank you for your time.
My son is Two years is there any way that his sliver crown tooth may it be removed and replaced with a white one? If so how long does a white crown last I was told by his dentist it will only last a short period of time like two or three weeks and that he would be able to brake it the same day he got it. Is that true or they just didn’t want to do the work done? I’m not realy a fan of silver crowns .Thank you for you time.
Hi,
I am enquiring about ‘dental implants’
I am 18 years old and have struggled with my teeth all my life! I have no confidence because of them and have recently been put on anti depressants because of it.
The teeth a have a problem with are my 4 front teeth on the upper jaw. They are misaligned and totally yellow. the middle of the 2 front teeth actually fell out when i was 14 and now the filling is turning black. My upper jaw is also over shot so when i smile it is only the upper teeth that show.
I have discussed many things with different dentists but i feel the only thing for me is to have them removed and replaced.
Could you please offer me your advice as i am now finacially ready to take a step towards a nicer smile!!
Thanks for your time x
I have a broken tooth and root canal tooth on the bottom molars. Why does my dentist want to charge 950 per crown when the teeth are in the back and on the bottom. Should I ask him for a less expensive CROWN? He explained the only way to preserve the teeth is buy crowns for $950 each not fillings.? Am I being overcharged for crowns no one can see?? My insurance covers 50% and the amount is 1000.00 per year. Please advise.
