Possible Treatment For A Tooth That Is Stuck In My Gum?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

I am 28 & have a retained upper left canine tooth. X-rays show that the adult tooth is lying horizontal in my gums, but I’m sure whether it is ankylosed or not. The baby tooth is relatively healthy but I want to know what the best option is for treatment. Various dentists have brushed off my questions of long-term bite issues and I worry that the braces & chain option may be coming to an end if I don’t act soon. Also I wonder if I would have a gap for the duration of the treatment, as I doubt I could live with that as an adult. Thanks

My front, right tooth is stuck inside my gum, what can I do to get this fixed?

Q.

hi, i have a tooth problem where my front right tooth has sunk up into the gum its about quarter in since the last 5-6 years i had to have braces in for nearly a year to try and pull it down but it did not move at all, i forgot to attend two appointments after and so they took me off their dentistry register.
so now i have not done anything about it, but i am a bit worried that it could get worse, other than that i would like to have it level with my other front tooth.
i had x rays it showed the tooth was still alive but the colour is a little greyer than the others.

Any advise would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.
