My husband recently fell and broke both of his front teeth. Do you know what we need to do to get this fixed? Will he need to extract them, or maybe get dental crowns? I will be honest that he is not crazy about the dentist so I’m trying to figure out what he needs… Continue reading Dealing with a Broken Tooth

Her Dentist Majorly Missed This
I need some help. I had an accident which left me with damage to my chin and side of my face. I did see a dentist after being released from the ER. She decided not to do anything for at least two weeks. By then, the tooth was starting to turn dark. When she went… Continue reading Her Dentist Majorly Missed This
Who Broke This Man’s Tooth?
I need some advice about an incident with my tooth. I have a 30+ year old crown. I was in for a checkup and my dentist said that I have decay under the crown and he will need to do a root canal treatment. I didn’t have any signs of a tooth infection. No abcess.… Continue reading Who Broke This Man’s Tooth?
Porcelain Veneer Turning Blue
We purchased my daughter an entire set of porcelain veneers. The dentist suggested ten on top and eight on bottom. She had a small accident that left one of the teeth chipped. It was a very small chip so the dentist was able to fix it. The dentist smoothed it out and then, of course,… Continue reading Porcelain Veneer Turning Blue
Problem with Wisdom Tooth
I had a terrible toothache a few weeks ago and scheduled an appointment with my dentist. He said I had an infection in one of my bottom wisdom teeth, which he felt needed a specialist. I went to see the specialist who believes all the wisdom teeth need to be extracted. Unfortunately, he can’Read More

Someone told me this is dangerous, but I just don’t have money for a dentist right now. Is it really that dangerous or… Continue reading Is a Tooth Infection Really Dangerous?
Cracked Porcelain Crown
For the last 16 years I have had four porcelain crowns on my front teeth for a smile makeover. One of them has always had a slight divot. You could feel it if you rubbed your tongue on it (and knew where it was), but it was not visible. Recently, something has changed, I can… Continue reading Cracked Porcelain Crown
I Have a Failed Root Canal Treatment
I had a root canal treatment about three years so, but because of some pain, I recently found out that the root canaled tooth is not only fractured, but it also has an abscess. The oral surgeon I went in to see about this told me that it would be three weeks until he can… Continue reading I Have a Failed Root Canal Treatment
Can I Let Wisdom Teeth Decay
I read that the older you get, the more chances there are for serious complications with wisdom tooth removal. I’m in my 30s and my wisdom teeth never bothered me so I never bothered getting them out. Two of them have decay right now, though the rest of my teeth are fine. I am wondering… Continue reading Can I Let Wisdom Teeth Decay
Antibiotics for Tooth Infection
I had a root canal treatment done but then the company I worked for closed its doors. I didn’t have the money to have the cap put on and I’ve been putting some store bought tooth filling in the hole. I ran out of that and I think I’ve developed another tooth infection. Is there… Continue reading Antibiotics for Tooth Infection
