I have no idea whats going on with my tooth. About 5 years ago I had a full in and barley my gums under it started swelling and a few years later my fill in fell off. Ive gone to the dentist they said they cant do anything about it but just to pull it off. Is there anything to do to save it? I really dont want an implant
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Since your dentist checked that tooth personally, tooth must have past the point of restoration. Ask your dentist if they can restore it with post and core. Or I suggest it would be good to get it removed to avoid further infection. If you don't want to go for an implant, you can go for a bridge, also called as Fixed partial denture. So go to your dentist, get your tooth radiographed and decide. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
