Bonded front tooth that had a root canal, feels loose?

vikki456Aug 23, 2015
I had a peg tooth located in the top front of my mouth. A few years ago, My dentist bonded the peg to make it fuller. About ten months ago I got a root canal done on this tooth. The back of it was filled in after the procedure. The past week, the tooth has been feeling a little loose. I'm terrified it's going to fall out. What should i do? Is there anything a dentist can do to make sure it doesn't fall out?

If the filling feels rough you should return to your dentist and have it further polished.  We have the ability to make the bonding feel smooth.  It has been way too long so it will not happen on its own

Go to a dentist who loves cosmetic dentistry and ask for a Smile Trial.  We would take models of your smile and then do a wax -up to see how the teeth fit together.  You would return to the office and we would try in the design of the teeth in your mouth!There are lots of options-maybe...

As an orthodontist, my view is , retention phase is more important than active phase. visit yr orthodontist and discuss yr issue.
