I had a root canal 4 days ago. I felt so much better afterwards. No pain at all. Today I go back and get molded for my crown and received my temporary crown. I am in extreme pain. My gums are red and swollen. Looking in the mirror I realize my gum line on the tooth beside my temp crown is extremely high. It was not before today.Will my gum grow back? Why did he cut my gum line on the toother beside the one he was working on? What do I do?
I went to the dentist and had my old crowns removed. Gums where inflamed above two crowns due to poor seating and bulky crowns. my gums are pink/normal now. They said I have to see perio, I am curious as to why? Do my gums look unhealthy? I really want to get my molds done for my perm crowns. Dr said she would do it last time if no bleeding occurred, wich it did not. What would be the case for me not getting the procedure? Thanks!
I had 2 teeth extracted behind my canine tooth in my lower jaw.Its been a few years so the teeth have shifted.Theres only room for one implant, and a small gap will remain,so I did it.I expected the dentist to put the implant closer to the canine,but he put it in the center of the gap.I specifically told him I want to fill in the space near the canine tooth.I asked him about it and he said it's fine.I'm worried because he can't put a big tooth there because it won't look good.What could be done?
Thanx to the Dctrs on RealSelf for their helpful replies to my questions. I want to know if the impression/mold of my original teeth belongs to me. I would like to keep the original mold because if something happened to my crowns in the future, a dentist would be able to see what my original teeth were like and make new sets from the original mold/impression. We travel a lot and live in different countries for a period of time, so I may not be able to see my original dentist. Thanks in advance.
