Can I Save This Tooth

I’ve been to two different dentists and both of them want to pull my tooth. I have a front tooth that had been chipped. I’d repaired it with dental bonding. Then, I had a fall and it broke almost in half. The dentists want to pull it and give me a partial denture. I am… Continue reading Can I Save This Tooth

Temporary Restoration Before Dental Implants

I need some advice. My daughter had a congenitally missing tooth. We’ve gotten her braces to move her teeth into the right position.

I’m to the point that I just want to… Continue reading Dentist or Oral Surgeon to Extract all My Teeth?

Dentist Won’t See Me

I called my dentist because I told him that I have what I think is a tooth infection. He called me in an antibiotic and told me to take that and then come in a week from now. I don’t understand why he won’t see me. I’m pretty sure that you can’t solve a tooth… Continue reading Dentist Won’t See Me
