Case Description
I'm 26 years old but I still have one baby tooth that has been sick and shaking as long as I remember. All the dentists I've been to prefer not to operate on it because it's complicated. However, a couple of months ago it broke -- it split in two parts vertically and then one fell. Now I am left with a fraction of a tooth that is brown and sick right in the front, it's an ugly sight and on top of it, I am a person who laughs a lot. I couldn't afford to visit a dentist but now that I started work and finally have dental insurance, I would really like to take care of this. I have no idea, but I'm guessing it's beyond repair and I should probably just have the remains of it pulled out and then have a false tooth in place (crown?). PLEASE give me some advice and suggestions what to do and how to find an affordable doctor for this.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

hiit sounds like the tooth has poor prognosis. Extraction may be the only option. I recommend an evaluation with an x-ray to determine the best course of action.For replacement purposes, implants is an ideal approachplease call our office at 301-654-7070 for an appointmentdr. kazemi

It sounds that your broken baby tooth is uncomfortable and dosen''''t let you to smile the way you like! The tooth needs to be evaluated, bring any x-rays you have so your problem could be addressed immediately. I could offer you a Free Consultation.

Hi! Guess on what and how you described in your message, you have couple options. Just crown itself won''''t help because you don''''t have a root inside the bone to keep this crown in place ( you said it was shaking for a while - means it was no or little support) You might need to use another tooth as a holding one for this crown or implant as an another option for your case. If you have questions that you''''d like to ask me - feel free to contact my office (301) 770-7878Good luck!
