Half of my tooth has broken off and I think I have swallowed the broken half. I don't have a dentist here in town to ask what to do. I am new to the city. I doesn't hurt yet but my tounge is getting sore from rubbing against it. What do I do? (answer)

I have a molar (right side bottom, 2nd from rear) that has broken off on an angle from the gumline at the front to the top of the tooth at the rear. It has also decayed internally far below the gumline and has developed an infection underneath that I'm currently treating with Antibiotics. I have had one dentist examine it who recommended extraction but my question is: Do you think if money were no object it would be a better idea to keep the tooth and root canal/fill it or are there other factors I'm not aware of that would make it a better choice to pull it and then get an artificial tooth or crown later on? ...Jeff (answer)

I had a broken tooth and went to the dentist. He told me that I would need a root canal but the tooth was abcessed. He did a pulpectomy and put in a temporary filling. He did not give me any antibiotics to treat the abcess. He just told me to take Aleve. Should this be treated with antibiotics? Also is there anything better for the pain that just Aleve? The area is throbbing and very sore. ...Tammy (answer)

I broke my tooth 8 months ago. My insurance company sent me to a dentist that I didn't know. He decided to replace my tooth with a porcelan tooth. It looks pretty nice but I can`t get used to it. My tongue is in contact with this fake tooth all the time. I'm sure there are better materials or replacements for a broken tooth that feels and looks O.K. Hope you can give some advice about it. ...Peter in Florida (answer)

I was wondering what has happened to my tooth. About 2-3 days ago the tooth on the top right (the 4th one in) had chipped a small piece on the back-side of it. Last night I looked at it, and I noticed that a small area of my gum right above the tooth was a little grayish color. I've been brushing and cleaning my mouth for a while, and today I was eating a hamburger and felt that most of the tooth was missing and the remaining piece of the tooth is grayish in color. It also feels like it is soft when i touch it. It has been hurting for a couple months when I bite on something or eat real fast with it. Would you know what this is and what should I do? ...

Hello, I'm trying really hard to find a dentist, but because my credit is less than perfect, no one seems to want to take me. I have a question regarding what's going on with my teeth, but first I wanted to ask if you know of any schools or anywhere, that I can go for treatment, where credit is not an issue and I don't have to pay a lot upfront. I really need my teeth fixed, I am in pain. Okay, here's what's going on. About a year ago I was told that I needed a to have two root canals on my upper left side, the dentist did the root canals and put a temporary filling inside the huge hole left in my mouth. A few weeks later, I tried to make another appointment, to get a crown, and I was told that the dentist I was going to was on vacation for the summer. She didn't mention this when I had gone in previously. There was no one to take her place. I wasn't in any pain, so I figured that it must be okay to wait. Well, I finally did get back in to see her, but by the time she was back, my insurance was no longer good. I didn't have any other options at the time and the insurance that I was switched to was not accepted by her office. I tried calling other dentists just to be told that I would have to pay at least $800 in cash, which I did not have, still don't. So, here it is, a little over a year later, and the teeth have broken up, pieces coming out from time to time, the one side is just small and very sharp, constantly cutting my mouth up. I've recently noticed that one of them has turned black at the top, and the smell and taste are absolutely horrible. I don't know what to do. I've tried calling, and I can make payments, but I just don't have that kind of cash lying around. Please help, I desperately want to have this fixed before I lose all of my teeth. ...Ruthie in Florida (answer)

Two weeks ago I had part of a previously filled molar break off while brushing my teeth. My dentist packed it with some type of temporary filling as I was about to leave town on vacation. The filling only held
for a day, but I have another appointment scheduled this week. Today, while eating potato chips, part of another tooth broke off on the same area of a molar on the opposite side of my mouth. I have never had teeth break
before, and find it very unnerving that two teeth would break within such
a short time span. Do you have any explanation for this? I have been
taking calcium supplements for the past 3 months and wonder if that may have some effect. Visitor from WI (answer)

About 2 months ago my top tooth cracked (4th one back) It hasn't been bothering me until about a week ago. On my gums above where the cracked tooth is, there is a swollen white bump and it is very sensitive. What is it and should it be taken care of right away? By the way...I am totally afraid of dentists. ...Visitor from OH (answer)

My husband fell on his face and broke 1/2 of his front tooth. 5 days later he was able to see a dentist. 2 titanium posts were placed in his tooth and a resin was used to fill in his tooth. Since then, (for 2 weeks) he has had a dull ache (although intermittently) over his right eye, ear, and right jaw. It seemed to be a pressure thing as bending over, or coming in from outside would trigger the ache. Yesterday, the ache disappeared to be replaced with an excrutiating pain in the broken tooth. He cannot touch this tooth and the air movement from speaking in very painful. Do you have any suggestions as to what could be causing this pain ? My husband has a high pain tolerance so for him to even say that this hurts - there must be a problem. Help! ...Visitor from Plainfield, Ontario, Canada (answer)

I had a temporary filling done sometime back in my lower right molar (2nd from last). A part of the tooth (but from the gumline) broke off some time back and the filling is eroding. The remaining portion of the tooth looks fine. No discoloration etc. There is no pain also. I'm in the US for around a month more and my insurance does not cover dental. I would like to know whether I can afford to wait till I get back home to have it treated. I am not familiar with any dentists around here too. ...Visitor from IN

My son fell on the ice when he was 10 years old and broke his two front teeth. One had to have a root canal, the other did not. They put some sort of bonding material on what was left of each tooth and built it up. He is now 17 and just got out of braces and wants to redo his front teeth which have started chipping away. One of the teeth has now just started turing gray. We live in a small town and our local dentist wants to put crowns on both of the teeth. I feel he is a very good doctor but wonder
if this is the best solution. Should I check in a bigger city to see if there are newer - better alternatives? ...Visitor from KS (answer)
