So in September I had a small part of a big filling break. I was convinced I would lose the tooth but the dentist xrayed it, no decay so was able to fix it with composite filling and alter the pressure point on it it lowering the existing filling slightly. I have been trying so hard with my cleaning - brushing twice a day, interdental flossing, no fizzy drinks, keeping sugary foods to meals etc etc. I do grind my teeth alot. I dont always know I'm doing it but sometimes I realise and try to stop.
Anyhow, I was just eating and the tooth the dentist fixed has broken. There is only the smallest amount of tooth now so I am guessing it won't be fixable now. Can any of the dentists advise if there are any alternatives to extraction or if that's literally my only option now. Please please be kind, I am absolutely devastated and so ashamed. I will ring my dentist Monday for an urgent appt but I'm so anxious and frightened.
As you can see the small tooth in front was extracted years ago after a terrible dental experience with a locum dentist. I'm so upset.
