had a fall as a kid and broke my front incisor. It turned black as the nerve went dead and later on as a teenager had a root canal done and got a crown fixed. The first crown lasted me for 5 years. Had to get it removed coz the root canal had to be redone. the crown I got fixed after that has a metal on the back side and enamel only on the front. That has lasted me for the last 15 years without any hassles. I do have to get it redone now because the enamel has turned yellow with the passage of time.\n\nGo for crowns if you really want to. A suggestion though: \n\nCheck out the link I have given, maybe some other  procedure could be more beneficial for you than a crown.\n\ngood luck

That's a dead tooth, you need to see your dentist. The tooth will probably have to be removed and replaced.

You need to go back to your dentist and make him fix this! NOW!\n\nIt should only have been open for 3 to 5 days.

If you wish to save your tooth and not have to replace it with a false one, after it inevitably rots, then yes, you should get it done.  After a while your tooth does seem to go a little black in part, but not loose.  This is why people then replace it with a crown.    \n\nHaving a root canal will save your tooth so that you can have it crowned.  The dentist takes a cast of your teeth.  Then, the next step is to make a crown as close to your own colour as possible.  \n\nMake sure the dentist uses a rubber dam around your tooth to prevent you from swallowing any old or new filling.  Mercury amalgam is used in the darker fillings and some say that it gets into your system and does damage.  Better safe than sorry.  It is possible to get white fillings which don't contain Mercury, but you do have to replace them more ofter, especially the back ones. \n\nDon't worry that the root canal treatment will be sore, as it is only similar to getting a filling.  A root canal kills the nerve which is the thing that causes the pain.

You obviously are still grinding thru the night guard. It is called severe bruxism and you need to get back to your doctor and get him to place fillings and build all of your teeth back up again. It is unadvisable to have veneers or crowns down, because you will just chip them when you grind. I reccomend trying a day guard as well as the night guard. And perhaps your dentists lab can make it out of tougher material. Hope this helps!!!

IT MAY BE AN AMALGAM TATOO, SEE YOUR DENTIST TO  BE SURE.

There's sometimes a natural small space in the back of your mouth. It normally goes away pretty soon. Retainers (unless they're specially made) won't do anything.

I don't know what a drill bit is?? I assume that you are speaking of a bur or tiny piece of an instrument that was accidentally separated in your tooth, not floating around around in your mouth. If this is the case, yes this does happen on occasion. A piece can separate and they may place medication inside of the tooth in an attempt to loosen the piece for easier removal at the next visit. No you cannot sue, I'm sure they had you sign whats called and informed consent when you filled out your health history. This form releases the liablility from them. Just to provide some comfort, this is not rare, It is not causing any harm to you or your body. I'm sure they will work as hard as they can to remove it, if the cannot get it you will be ok. The majority of the time this does not have any negative effects on the tooth. Good Luck!!!

I think it must be phantom pain because all the nerves in the tooth are gone.  In the first procedure they take out all the tooth innards.  In the 2nd part, they install the posts to anchor the crown.  You shouldn't have any nerves left in the tooth.  Maybe they drilled too deep, or maybe there is an infection, call your dentist.

What happened to your teeth?\n\nYou must be from Molvania ;)

I hope not! I've noticed I've been doing it since my mid-twenties, but I was able to "deal" with the dull pain. In the past six months, though, a filling came out of one of my molars and then a molar on the other side actually cracked! My dentist repaired both, but said it was due to my grinding, as were the cavities developing from all the wear and tear on my teeth enamel. So next month I'm getting fitted for a mouthguard to wear when I sleep.

first you need to consult your dentist. sometimes, you can crown teeth that are not in line where they should be and create the appearance of straigter teeth but this doesn't always work if you are really too far out there- so only your dentist can tell you for sure.

Yes. Go see your dentist and he'll fit you for a mouth guard. It feels like a retainer.

I'm not sure where you are at, but you can go to the pharmacy and buy something called Dent-temp, it is a temporary filling material that will help protect your tooth until you can get to a dentist.  I know you aren't supposed to, but I had to use it once myself for about 4 months.  You have to replace it about once a week.  But it only costs a few dollars for the product, and a little goes a long way.

I would go see another dentist and get a second opinion.  There are other options out there, yes you may have to wait until you are older to put crowns on those teeth.  But I would ask about other options..  Good luck
