Will I get an infection if the gum closes the little fragments off?

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Caplan, I had a root canal treatment in one of my first molars before delivery with my first child. i did not get a filling during the pregnancy fearing any pain or complication. two days ago it has fallen off on its own (i know, its sad i could have saved it), and i cant see my dentist for a few days. thing is, only a few pieces are present in the gum and the gum feels like its closing them off. its not too painful and there’s no inflammation. should i rush before that happens? will i get an infection if the gum closes the little fragments off? i will be really thankful if u answer. thankyou,

Is what my dentist said correct regarding my gums?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hello! I currently have a temporary crown in place while waiting for my permanent. When the old crown was removed, the dentist cut the gum with an electric dental instrument because it sat very low. It appears to me that she cut it too high. When I asked her about it, she said she always cust the gum slightly high because, in her experience, the gum comes down slightly before the permanent crown gets placed. This doesn’t sound likely to me. Is it correct? Or did she just mess up?,
A.
Its too early to tell but norm… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
