Hi, thanks for sending your question and xray. Although many teeth can be restored without removing the nerve ( root canal). It is often the symptoms that make it necessary to perform a root canal procedure. Your tooth may be able to be restored using very conservative techniques. A comprehensive examination would be ideal initially to determine the best approach. We would be happy to see you in our Irvine office for an evaluation. All the best.
Your tooth broke due to the underlying cavity. There is also a cavity on the tooth next to it that requires repair. From only looking at the X-ray, it appears you would need fillings on both of those teeth.The more important question to ask is...why did you get those cavities? These are caused by diet, oral hygiene, and bacteria, and it is important to find the cause and correct that before this becomes a problem everywhere in your mouth. In fact, you should be having a complete examination with a full mouth series of X-rays to evaluate all of your teeth. You may be able to get a handle on this problem soon to avoid further decaying teeth.Good luck!

Looks to me like a baby tooth. Get to a dentist immediately to get an xray. If it is a baby tooth and is going to fall out then the cheapest fix is to remove it and bond the removed tooth to the adjacent teeth. That should work for 5-10 years until you can afford a dental implant.
Hi Toni from Indiana! You need to see a dentist before you go on vacation to see why your tooth is loose. . I can not tell much from the pictures you sent . Try to eat soft foods only and do not chew with it which is going to be very difficult to do! Most dentists will offer a...
The dentist did the correct thing to refer you to the specialist without delay. If the smallest part of the file has broken in the canal then as my colleague has suggested, things many settle almost permanently without any further problems. If the amount that has been left behind in the...
