I Had A Root Canal And My Remaining Tooth Fell Out. A Hole Has Appeared. Why?

January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I lost my back molar some time ago due to the tooth breaking in half after a while the tooth became painful and the dentist did root canal, however the left over remains of the tooth fell out and in the space where the tooth was a hole has developed in the gum. The gum is now wearing down and the hole is getting deeper and wider. The teeth either side of the hole seem fine and the gum does not hurt and is not inflamed or discoloured in anyway. What do I do about the hole and why has it formed what can I do to stop the gum from wearing away? Thank you for your time. I hope you can offer your advice.

I Have Bad Gum Recession And May Need Root Canal Treatment. What Would It Cost To Fix?

December 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Zurdo, can you help me? I’m 24 and have bad gum recession around a number of teeth from gum disease. Mainly on 4 teeth at bottom and 3 on top. I went to my NHS dentist she wasn’t very friendly or helpful and told me to use Corsodyl toothpaste and mouthwash and go back in 6 months. She also mentioned I may need root canal treatment as more than 50% of my tooth is uncovered. Can anything be done or am I going to loose my teeth. Could you tell me what would it cost to fix?

Hello Doctor, I have a problem and need your advice. My filling in my back tooth fell out a while ago so i just have one edge of my tooth there now. For a while it hurt after i ate, now it doesn’t hurt me anymore but now there’s something red inside is it my gum? Also how will this be solved. Will i have to have an operation? if i do will they give my something to be put to sleep whilst they are doing the operation? How do i get my teeth back in good shape? just by brushing everyday. If i brush more than twice a day does that damage my teeth? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
