I have a broken decayed tooth what can I do to fix it and will medicaid cover some of it?

tmyrickApr 20, 2016
I have a 2 front teeth that are decayed but we're able to fix at the time, I was pregnant and I wasn't able to be on my back that long so decided to wait til after I had my baby. In the mean time I was assaulted while pg when I went to my scheduled appointment pp to get them fixed they're unfixable and will break off. I want to know if there are any option than extracting the whole tooth which is what they've told me itscracked down the middle like a slash / Victim of domestic violence :(

Your case should be a relatively simple procedure of composite bonding (tooth colored filling to replace the chipped portion of tooth). It may not even require any anesthetic. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your inquiry and time in submitting your photo. We're sorry to hear about your chip and bonding coming off. Unfortunately, bonding is the best option for you if you prefer the least aggressive treatment. You could get bonding done again and have a night guard made to wear at...

Hello and thank you for your great question. Based on the picture provided you can wait  till you will be back in the US and to fix it. Just stay away from biting forks again...Good luck.
