My root post had been broken off is it true that i can have post without talking out the root

Saturday, July 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a front tooth crown with a root post fitted that I have had for over 20 years. It has been replaced a few times due to it falling out. Unfortunately last time the crown came out the post had been found to have broken off inside the root. I have been told that the dentist can not remove the post without taking out the root of the tooth, so I had a new crown fitted with only half a post which keeps falling out. I have been told that a bridge is the next step, which I do not want and an implant is too expensive. Is the imformation correct about not being able to take out the post without removing the root. Do I have any other options. Many thanks

My dentist recommends surgery for my jaw i wonder short root tooth will affect the surgery

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Q.
Hi. i’m 25 and have recently been referred to a hospital consultant for suspected TMJ disorder, as i have been experiencing severe jaw pain, neck pain and ear ahce, my dentist recommends surgery because of my complex jaw. i also have a bad underbite of about 1cm and severe crowding of my lower teeth. when i was a teenager i had braces on my upper teeth, but never my lower teeth – they wanted to do jaw surgery but my parents refused. when i was 21 i found out i had shortening of the roots on my top teeth. could you tell me if it is possible to have jaw surgery with braces only on my bottom teeth as i’m sure they will not want to apply a brace to my top teeth? or will the short roots prevent them from doing the surgery at all? Thank you for any help you can give me.

One of my root canal teeth cracked due to hard bite so should i go for dental crowns advice

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had root canal treatment on a molar tooth a year ago and a subsequent infection which settled down with antibiotics. The tooth is cracked and my dentist has suggested I now have it crowned as this is likely to prolong the life of the tooth. However, I have noticed that the tooth sometimes feels slightly uncomfortable to hard pressure (ie certain foods) when I am eating although I’m not sure why this might be as the tooth is no longer live. I have been told previously that my bite on that side is rather hard which is why the tooth cracked in the first place. I was wondering if you could advise me what the likely explanation for this is and if it is safe to have it crowned? If I mention this when I go for the crown is it likely that my dentist will x ray the tooth first to see if there is any infection present? Also in your expert opinion, assuming the tooth is suitable to be crowned, is that the best treatment for it to preserve the tooth? Many thanks in advance for your advice.

I had root canal treatment but now it has started to hurt slightly what is the reason advice?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Hello. Three days ago I had a root canal on a back tooth.The dentist did not crown it but said I may need a crown at a later date.Today it has stareted slightly hurting again which I find strange as I thought the root had been removed.It did not hurt at all when I had the temporary filling in for a week whilst waiting for the second part of the root canal. It also seems sensitive when I bite down. As it is the weekend I cannot get to the dentist and it is not an agonising pain. Do you have any advise. Thank you
