Apologies for the photo - makes me cringe just looking at it. But this is what we’re working with!
After a week of shock and feeling absolute devastation after my accident I have now reached the pragmatic stage and researched my little socks off.
As you know from my last post I have a crippling phobia of even setting foot in the dentist so really need to find solutions that aren’t horrific and invasive… at this stage I just really, can’t. I know that makes me ridiculous, but I can’t help it.
My mouth is much less painful now, the antibiotics have kept everything clean and I’m healing up. The two chipped teeth are still tender to the touch forwards and backwards but not wobbly and I can put direct pressure from the bottom if I have to (I’m not) so really, really hoping they are just bruised and recovering.
My consultation to plan a repair is on 13th June and my proposal is to:
1) composite bond the chipped ones…. I understand this isn’t too painful and doesn’t need a needle?
2) request a flexible single tooth denture. The clinic I’m going to offers Valplast. I’ve done the research online and this seems like a good option for a single missing tooth.
I’ve soul searched and just can’t entertain the thought of an invasive repair such as a bridge or implant. Yet, anyway.
Does this sound reasonable, and like something the dentist will be happy to work towards? I don’t want to be horrifically disappointed on the 13th if she says “no, don’t be ridiculous you daft woman”.
As far as I’m aware the whole tooth came out including roots. If that makes any difference.
Thanks again for all replies and support
