Crowns and Impacted Tooth
by mriniker, Oct 28, 2009 02:28PM
Two separate questions/issues:
My dentist recently suggested I have crowns placed on two teeth. Both are towards back of mouth in lower jaw opposite each other. They have fillings but he says the fillings were large and the teeth are showing signs of decay now from "leakage" I think he said. I think they are some older fillings I had. Is this typical for this to happen over time? and is this a typical correction for this? What type of crown should I get from a 'best for my dental health' standpoint....gold?
I have an impacted tooth in lower front jaw that has always been there. It is not the front teeth..just one next to them...right side. Never has been a problem for me. I actually still have my 'baby' tooth at age 40, though it is not in the best condition. I guess I am wondering, if it causes problem for me in the future is it possible/advisable to have the impacted tooth 'fixed'??? Must be some type of surgical procedure I presume?
Thanks!
