Question: My daughter just had her braces removed & now I'm told she need a root canal or have 1 removed. SUGGESTIONS.?
We just spent alot of money on her teeth, she is also ADHD! Her teeth where really BAD! As they where taken off her brace 1 of her caps popped off! Her regular dentist said she would either need to have it (the tooth) removed or a root canal needs to be done! I am really concerned because I don't want her teeth to re-shift after spending all that money for her braces! I need suggestions or answers to this serious question! What can I do to prevent her teeth from re-shifting.? Health Question & Answer
Answers:
A root canal would be the best way to go because you want to try and save all the teeth you can, but a root canal is not always effective. To prevent shifting after pulling the tooth you would either need to do an implant to replace the tooth or she would need to wear a flipper which is like a partial denture with only one tooth on it. Its up to you depending on what kind of money and time you want to spend. The best would be to do the RC first and see how that goes. You might also want to go to another Dr and get a second opinion or get other options.Health Question & Answer
Make sure she wears her retainers without fail!!! Sounds like she may have developed a cavity under the crown and now it requires a root canal to save it before placing a crown on it. No matter what you decide to do it isn't going to be cheap. But make sure she wears her retainers and have her be evaluated to have her wisdom teeth removed to prevent shifting from allowing for them to come in. Health Question & Answer
The orthodonist should have given you a retainer, either that or your daughter is going back in to get fitted for one (depending on what type she is getting).
Even if you weren't doing anything else to her teeth, they would shift again if she doesn't have a retainer. So talk to the orthodonist. Or, if she already has a retainer, then no need to worry at all.Health Question & Answer
