Accepted Answer

I : I don't think you have to worry about a broken tooth causing a blood clot or an aneurysm, which is an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of an artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel.

You have to be worried about an infection which can spread into your bone, and possibly your bloodstream, taxing your immune system. Add in the possibility of localized swelling and the pain involved, and you can see that you need to make it a priority, somehow, someway, insurance or no insurance, to see a dentist.

Self medicating with an unknown antibiotic that you don't know will even work, let alone if you even have an infection, is not the correct way to treat this. Get in touch with your county department of social services for guidance and get this longstanding problem treated before it becomes an all out emergency.

Question 2

my back tooth is rotting/falling apart and the pain was gone but now it's back. it's unbearable. i have no money for surgery, what can i do for pain?

Accepted Answer

Health clinic: You need to go to the hospital for antibiotics and suggestions to a health center or clinic for de natal treatment. If you are near a dental school they can provide affordable quality care.  
I am not familiar with Canadian health care system but there should be options for emergency care. Call your city or provincial dental society for drs or places who could help you.

Question 3

why is only my back tooth sensitive?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: Sensitivity is caused by many things. Trauma to a tooth will cause the nerve inside to become inflamed, which causes sensitivity.  The question is what is causing the insult? Is it a cavity? Recession? Did you bite down on something hard? An examination and x-ray is necessary to make a proper diagnosis.

Question 4

my back tooth at the top is loose i need tips to pull it out?

Accepted Answer

Easy: See your dentist, because a loose tooth could be a sign of more serious problems. Also, extracting a tooth on your own could lead to a serious infection.

Question 5

i chipped my right side all the way in back tooth and it's starting to hurt really bad . how much would it cost to fix my tooth?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: Can't tell without an examination.  Does tooth need root canal Rx, filling, implant, crown?  Is it upper or lower?  Is there a cavity, abscess?  How much of the tooth remains?  In what area of the country do you live?  What materials will best restore the tooth?  Are you having work done by generalist or specialist?  Is there a clinic or Dental School in your area?  Please see a Dentist for exam.

Question 6

my top back tooth is smooth ,all white and it looks weird. is just this one tooth,its definitely receded but why it looks like that,no crevice.

Accepted Answer

Maxillary Molar: An examination b y a local dentist would go a long way in determining if that tooth is malformed.

Question 7

my back tooth hurts, what do i use to ease my pain?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: You can take 2 advils (ibuprofen) as a temporary measure as long as you can tolerate taking an nsaid. I would make an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible.

Question 8

what can i do for severe pain if i broke my back tooth?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: broken teeth are like broken bone, what would you do if you broke your arm, you need to have some one put it together or take it away, up to you to decide. Pain killers such as ibuprofen and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be found at the pharmacy, nothing else can be done without seeing the dentist or going to the ER.

Question 9

how difficult is it to get a broken back tooth salvaged?

Accepted Answer

Not difficult: Generally its not difficult to fix or replace a broken back tooth.  The question is how expensive.   The longer you wait to fix a problem  on a back tooth, the more complex the treatment.  Typically,  when they start to hurt,  you will need a root canal and a crown.  If it isn't salvagable,  you can choose to  extract it and  replace it with an implant and crown at twice the cost.

Question 10

small black line on back tooth, what does this sound like?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: A cavity in a developmental groove. But that's only a guess without being able to see it. Call ur local dentist for an appointment.
