I live in Illinois. I am disabled. I receive $672 a month from SSi. This barely covers my rent, etc... I am on medicaid. The tooth on crown broke off with my crown last night. It was just a little piece that the Medicaid dentist left to attach the crown He broke off almost the whole tooth to give me this crown which is next to my front tooth. My smile is gone and I am crying. Where can I go if I need an actual screw in to the root of my tooth. I do not have any money.
Hello and thanks for consulting Chat Doctor.I have gone through your query and understand your concern, if the tooth is broken from the crown part and the pulp (nerve tissues) are not involved then you can go for normal cosmetic restoration or an artificial crown over that tooth. If the pulp is involved then you have to go for Root canal therapy (RCT) followed by post and core and artificial crown (depending upon the extent of tooth is lost).you must visit a dentist for all this. If you can't afford more money than a removable partial denture (RPD) can be a good option. Hope this answers your query. Take disregards
