I have extensive work done on this upper front tooth as a child and the root of this tooth is very wide. At the moment, I am getting decaying and smelly juice from this wobbly tooth. Saw my dentist today and he tried to removed it but failed. He is also worried that he may crack it if he force it out. At the same time, he told me to be prepared that my tooth may be already crack. He told me to wait for my crown to fall out and if it's just the screw, he'll be able to put it back but if not, I will have to get it extracted. I am feeling devastated as I do want to keep this front tooth of mine. Is it true that if a tooth is crack, there's no way of healing it ? If I really have to do an extraction, should I choose to have a bridge or an implant? Is there any where that I can do an x-ray that will show me if my tooth is cracked? I wonder if I should just tolerate the smelly tooth and wait for it to fall out? Please help!!!
