Cant I just not have anything done and be ok with my missing teeth

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Q.
I had a tooth come loose, a root canal was done in that area 23 years ago, and it was removed and decay was detected. It was cleaned out and it was recommended I look into an implant rather than a bridge. I would rather do neither since it is in a spot in my mouth(#29) that you cannot even see the area where the tooth is missing. Can’t I just not have anything done and be ok if I am willing to live with the gap in my back teeth area?????

A.
Yes the gap could be left but … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I may need get a bridge for my missing teeth what would be the cost of the job

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi Just to give you a background of my teeth; I have had my 2nd Molar removed a few years back due to decay which unfortunately infected the 1st molar. The 1st molar has now broken up and needs to be taken out at the root due to extensive decay. i understand it is hard to do a diagnosis without an appointment; however from what I can see, I may need a bridge to cover the missing teeth. My concerns are the size of job needed, the use of General anesthetic and the potential cost of the job.

A bridge from a third molar to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

One side of my mouth has a hole and missing teeth could you advice

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Q.
I have had dental problems from a young child, this has caused me to develop a fear of the dentist, most of my teeth which I still have are crowns, and fillings a few of my front teeth are fake too. I currently only eat on one side of my mouth as the other side has a hole and a tooth missing. the side which I am eating on also has a hole, and the teeth are in a bad condition food always gets stuck in it People are always wondering why it takes me so long to eat my food but Im too embarrassed to say its my teeth. I tried having a denture fitted to replace the lost one but it was uncomfortable, kept moving and food kept going under it. Im so scared to go to the dentist me not being able to eat is having implications on my diet. Im so scared I dont know what to do I dont want to have a set of full dentures by the time im 40 which is the direction im heading im 29. The amount of treatment I would need would cost me so much money which I do not have at the moment. What do you advise please help kind regards

Is there a way to give a new tooth within hours?

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Im 21 and I have had a root filling in my front tooth a while ago, which made it appear discoloured, i then decided to get my teeth whitened, before the treatment i asked my dentist if the whitening would work on the root filled tooth as this was the main reason for the treatment, he said he would whiten the tooth from the inside and fill it again, after doing this i went back for a follow up appointment where he replaced the filling again and added more whitening treatment, my tooth felt very thin after this that i didnt even think he had filled it yet, when i mentioned it felt very hollow he said he had filled it. On a 3rd follow up appointment he was going to replace the filling again until i mentioned i thought the whiteness of the tooth appeared “grainy” again, he THEN suggested getting a crown and to go away and think about it. Shouldnt this have been suggested in the beginning? I then noticed a crack appearing in my tooth from the inside and today while brushing my teeth the tooth has cracked off completely. I’m so upset as it looks awful. Is there something the dentist could do straight away as i couldnt face going into work with no tooth. thanks.
