What Should Be Done In The Case Of Fake Tooth?

I had a fake tooth come out with the post and lost it. It is a front tooth on the left. I had a root canal and the post receiver is in place. How do I explain what I need done?There is also a sliver of the old tooth there. Is this a crown with a post?Implant?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have mentioned in your query this is known as post and core treatment , in this treatment Root canal treatment is done in tooth after post is placed and core is given as crown of tooth .
For this you should consult your dentist and go for oral examination of tooth , if your post is lost then you should go for new post and core by discussing with your dentist.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

As much i can under stand with your question, you recieved a dental treatment for your front tooth with first root canal treatment, secondly post and core treatment and then Crown fabrication.

Just explain to dentist in common words just like a normal person, he will surely understand by relating your complain with the clinical evaluation and X rays.

I suggest you to please visit with out any hesitation to your dentsit he will surely understand you and help you .
