My daughter chipped her two front teeth quite badly two weeks ago😭 the dentist filled them with composite bonding which looks fantastic, but 10 days later she has developed severe sensitivity. Dentist has suggested implants or root canal. I’ve heard both procedures can cause other health issues and was just wanting your advice and opinions. She’s only 22 😬 thanks so much 😊🌻

Dental Country was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the public by providing an all-encompassing platform for dental knowledge. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Sean Myran, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dental Country started as a response to the growing need for a reliable and comprehensive online resource where both dental professionals and everyday people could find trustworthy, accurate, and well-researched information about dentistry and oral health.
Dr. Myran had witnessed first-hand the complexities faced by dental professionals, from managing successful practices to staying up-to-date with the latest dental technology and products. At the same time, he noticed how challenging it was for patients to find accurate, digestible information about dental procedures, oral hygiene products, and how to choose the right dentist. This dual perspective inspired him to create Dental Country, an online space that could cater to both audiences.

What health problems implants can cause?
Monta S. ikr? this is either the same person or the second person with weird information
Monta S. I must be the second person with weird information. I’ve read online that other health issues were traced back to Root Canal
If they are only chipped then why not veneers or crowns ?
Lisa H. apparently the chip is at the back of the tooth so she can’t have veneers and because the pain is nerve pain.
Root canal and crowns first . They can last for 10 years or more mine have I got mine done along time ago from a fall on front teeth . Now Iam looking into implants instead of doing root canal again
Selyna Nicole G. implants last a lot longer than a decade.
Well not necessarily . . But depending on if she has good bone they could be a option, it’s just a cheaper option to do crowns if you wanna save money for implants later
Selyna Nicole G. thanks
Selyna Nicole G. my root canals last over 20 years
Having just had extractions and full mouth implants, I have nothing good to say about root canals, 7 of the extractions were old root canals and I was shocked at the amount of bacteria and infection harbored in those root canals. No to mention bone loss too! I’m not a dr by no means but I would have implant before root canal knowing what I know now. Makes me sick to think how much money went out the window in root canals and ended up here to have implants even more $$.
Tammy Jo G. are the implants all good
Michelle Z. it will be 3 weeks Monday, so far so good, I’m months from getting permanents only temp
Now. I’m grateful
Tammy Jo G. are you still in pain.?
Pat B. No- I have a few small
Places that are sore, rest of the stitches are falling out so more annoying then painful. I had 14 teeth removed, bone graph, sinus lift and implants placed as well as temp bridges upper and lower. I never took more than Advil and Tylenol the first few days so pain was no too bad. My famous words are I look worse than I feel, the Bruising made it look worse than it has been.
Definitely root canal and crown. There is no reason not to restore teeth first!
I had a root canal done when I was 16 and my first implant is due in 4 weeks and I’m now 22. The two procedures are unrelated and my root canal is still holding up, if you can save the tooth for now then that’ll probably be what’s best. Had no health related problems from it, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about!
Kerri C. thanks
There is something else called a pulp cap that can save the tooth. Find a holistic dentist that does them.
Angela L. thanks very much, haven’t heard of that 🌻
My old dentist said Get some sensodine toothpaste and but a big gob on your finger, rub it on there and let it sit for a few minutes. Do this once a day for a week and see if it helps
Kristi B. she just started this yesterday 🤞 hopefully it helps
I’d do root canal and crown first, especially if her teeth are otherwise in good shape. I’m happy with my implants, but nothing is as good as your natural teeth. In my (entirely unscientific) experience, a root canal and crown will last a long time in an otherwise healthy mouth. If you’re at the point where everything has a root canal and crown, at some point that will be a losing battle.
It’s only been 2 weeks. Give it a little more time
Paige P. is it possible it’s only temporary?
Michelle Z. get sensodyne rapid relief toothpaste. The trauma to her bone is still new and it’s like getting a cast on an arm. Also, you can add a bone support vitamin. I just had major dental work and this is what I was given by my surgeon. Good luck and just adjust what she eats for a little while. Not too hot/cold, less sweets and no mouthwash. Saltwater rinses only.
The bite being off can cause this. Is there damage needing a root canal? My son broke a front tooth but it didn’t extend far enough to effect the root/nerves. They did a composite bonding like you mentioned after an x-ray confirmed the damage wasn’t deeper. I would really have the bite assessed first because if the filling is a bit high it can cause crazy sensitivity pain
Misty C. thank you 😊 I’ll mention that
If you wait a while and take magnesium the nerves might calm down
Sorry this happened to a young person. The sensitivity sounds like nerve and does need root canal and then crown. Do anything and everything possible to save the natural teeth.
Give it some time. When teeth break, the nerve can be a little bit exposed, but they shrink a bit away from the edge of the tooth over time
Yes!
Read up on root canals. Can become infected and harbor bacteria. Just had one pulled. I would cap if possible, otherwise zirconium implants, do some research as well.
So I knocked out two of my front teeth when I was 17 and fell rollerblading. One of my front teeth they had to root canal and crown, the one next to it wasn’t chipped as badly so I believe they put a veneer in it. The tooth that was root canaled ended up getting infected when I was in my early 30s and I had to get the tooth extracted and get an implant. You could do the root canal for now and see what happens
Definitely no root canal. See a biological dentist. It will save your health and conserve your finances. I would also give it more time and let the nerves calm down. Tooth and gum tonic makes some great products and Mi paste recaldent is super helpful with healing and sensitivity. Do not opt for a root canal without a 3D CBCT scan to see if the teeth are actually dying or infected.
Root Canals are not generally considered a long term option. I had extensive dental work but could only afford to do it in phases. My dentist and I felt we could hold off on the front teeth if we did root canals and crowns. We were lucky that they did last five years which gave me enough time to pay off the first round of implants. It is a lot to go through and to avoid more with in the future I would recommend going with the implants.
Root canal. I’m young and would still have all my teeth if I was willing to do it. It is much less invasive than implants. I suspect the possible risks from a well done root canal are significantly lower than getting an implant. If she could postpone getting an implant for 10+ years, I’d say it’s worth it
Root canals/crowns. They can last many years if not a lifetime. Implants should only be used when the teeth are non-restorable. I’m dentist and in my practice I have many patients that experienced trauma young in life and now are in their 7th decade and beyond with the same root canal treated anterior teeth.
Fly to blodgette dental. He is a biological dentist and knows the proper way to handle these types of situations and is well aware of the health dangers root canals cause!
