Broken tooth

3 replies

I’m waiting for an extraction of a tooth that broke off at the gum line it was sort of the front of tooth that broke. Now the back has broken off and it is very wobbly quite painful but stuck in there. I have huge anxiety about the dentist after a previous extraction and a botched root canal. I’m spiralling, what actually can be done about this I’m so embarrassed about my teeth anyway now I’m going to have another huge gap too.

If it needs to be extracted then your options would be an implant, bridgework or a plate

Whilst deciding whether you'd like implants you could get dentures. Due to injury I've had to have a tooth extracted and have denture.
Hope you get it sorted Smile

It’s quite far back on the other side to the extraction. I’m going to have to speak to the dentist and get them to pull the wobbly bit at the back of the tooth as I can’t bite down and it’s quite sore. I’m not sure what to do as in the long term, if I can afford it, I would like to get my teeth ‘done’ so so don’t want to pay for anything expensive if it’s not long term.
