Worried Wife With Gaps in Teeth: Braces Forever?

Hi Dr. Shyam, My mother is 60yrs, recently she lost her upper right molar tooth. She is planning to cover the gap with a fake tooth. Dentist recommended Implant or Bridging. But, now, before going with either option, I would like to know how to choose between an implant and a bridge? Considering her age, what is the best option?

Hi, i have dental issues , my upper left side of the jaw has teeth no 4&5 on which RCT is in progress since march 2023. it was very painful for tooth4 and mild for 5, so i changed dentist on 1 may and new dentist took full month of may to do RCT for 4 & 5 again. now pain has disappeared in 5 but remains in 4. the new dentist says that there is a pocket between 4 &3 and i have copy of xray that shows that. i m not sure this dentist is telling the right reasons, as some other dentist says that condition of 4 is so bad that filling inside it is visible from outside and extraction is last resort.. my question is what should i do? protecting a tooth at all costs is more important or shall i go for extraction.

Hello Dr. I am writing to seek your professional guidance regarding my oral health, as I have been facing persistent issues with my teeth, particularly my molars. These problems have arisen due to unhealthy childhood habits, and I am eager to find a permanent solution to address them. To provide you with some background, I have previously undergone root canal treatment (RCT) for six of my molars, 02 removed, approximately 12 years ago. However, it seems that my dental issues have persisted, and I am concerned about their long-term impact on my oral health. Given my current age of 38, I am motivated to take proactive steps to ensure the best possible care for my teeth. I kindly request your professional advice on the following: Is there a permanent solution available to address the ongoing issues with my molars? What preventive measures can I take to maintain the health of my remaining teeth? Are there any specific dental treatments or procedures that you recommend in my case? How often should I schedule dental check-ups to monitor and manage my oral health effectively? I understand the importance of seeking expert guidance, and I trust your expertise to provide me with the best possible recommendations to improve and maintain my oral health. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Greetings Dr.Shyam First of all thank for your guidance here. My question, I had an accident 20 years ago and my teeth was half broken during that time my dr. Has used some solution to build the remaining part of my teeth, which was absolutely looking good and unbroken. Now after 20 years that solution faded and looks weak and may be broken soon. Is it possible to get the same extension done now using some solution? Or mouldable teeth?
