Is there a Dentist in the house?

Help plz? I broke my upper left canine tooth vertically in half right down to the gingiva (gum line). It hurts %26amp; I can't get my reg. Dentist to see me as an emergency! Is there something I can do till my reg Dentist will see me?

Honestly it sounds like your best bet is calling around to other dentists. Someone should be able to see you asap with a broken tooth like that. Sometimes if it's too close to the gingiva you could have even fractured your root. You definately need to call around to other dentists and get seen asap. Maybe even call your office and ask them if they recommend anyone local... that might make them magically find a spot for you. Then you can get out of pain and find a more caring office. :)
Reply:IF your Dentist can't get you in for an emergency exam I would seriously think about changing dentist becasue they should have open spots everyday for er exams..Good Luck
Reply:Maybe try to find an emergency dental centre, maybe at the hospital....there is always some kind of emergency place open.
Reply:THIS CANINE NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED BY A DENTIST. A ROOT CANAL AND CROWN MOST LIKELY WOULD BE NEED TO BE DONE.WHILE YOU WAIT TO SEE A DENTIST TAKE SOME IBUPROFEN (ADVIL). THIS WILL HELP TO LOWER THE PAIN AND DECREASE THE INFLAMMATION.


ps. did this tooth have a previous filling or was it badly decayed? Canine teeth becauseof their structure and shape are the strongest of the teeth.
