I went to the dentist to get a crown last year and he told me that I was going to need some complete work done with my teeth. My two upper front teeth and some that are next to it are decaying, recently I was playing with my dog and he was running towards me and slammed me right in the face which made my upper front tooth break in half no pain whatsoever which I assume is because it was decayed. I was just wondering when I go into the dentist is he going to tell me that other teeth have to come out first before I can get this tooth fixed? My parents 30th anniversary is in one month and I really dont want to be absent from there weekend in Vegas, but at the same time I dont like having to speak with my lips closed because I dont anyone to notice my missing half tooth
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, As you have mentioned you have encountered impact injury in the upper front teeth which got broken. Such broken teeth need x-ray examination and pulp vitality test to rule out the vitality of the teeth. If the tooth is non-vital, it needs to be treated by a root canal procedure, so please consider getting the treatment done by consulting a dentist.  If the teeth are vital and pain less, broken teeth can be restored with prosthetic crown coverage. Other decayed teeth can be restored with simple fillings or root canal procedure if needed. Please consider getting the treatment done approaching a dentist. I hope this helps, take care.
