Chipped tooth home repair

I only did it because of the razor sharp edge it left. It was cutting my tongue and quite painful. I just didn't realise how much your tongue rubs against your molar teeth even when drinking or even swallowing. There was no way I could cope with that for a fortnight. If it last and no bother then it stays.
 
I hope that you can keep your temporary repair going until you can get it seen to properly.
I still can't believe I was sorted out so quickly and I am not even a private patient, just good old NHS.
 
well day 2 and to be fair I got stuck in to some tough jackbit (wife cooked) some frying steak she murdered and it held up well, it still feels solid enough. The difference between the Boots stuff Dentek is, that's a temp measure the stuff I used is a permanent filler. You mix it like a epoxy resin and believe you me you don't get long to get it in before it sets.
touch wood no probs and the one thing I noticed from the dentist previous filling is, the tooth is far far less sensitive to hot cold. if it holds it can stay there asand till when. I enough of this filler in the box to do Mr Ed and Dick Emery so................
 
I was in the dentists when I just started university (a bit late) and I had chipped my front tooth. Not badly, just a small notch where my lower teeth cross. Already had another small notch on my other front tooth.

Had to file it with a metal nail-file as it was sharp.

Dentist described it as "wear and tear" but, I wasn't happy when he mentioned "lapping film", I know what it is but he didn't explain exactly how much material he would remove. Then he started giving me a tale about these sort of chips going all along the tooth ridge. I didn't want any work done and hopped out of the chair.

Well, nearly two decades later, chips haven't moved.

I mentioned it to a friend, and he thought I'd made the correct choice and showed me his teeth. He's had the same thing but the dentist had taken loads off his two front teeth and it looked ridiculous.
 
I have a crown and as you get older the gums naturally recede so the black cement type shows at the front and with it been at the front its unsightly, well to me it is.

I asked about this and my dentist and he said he would have to remove/replace at a huge expense and then do this that the other.
I'll swear that in todays day and age with technology moving at lights peed that someone has invented a filler of some sort rather that the drastic expensive measures he said.
I have yet to find one but now that I'm a first year apprentice..........


And
Day 11
The filling is holding up better than the one the dentist put in. I put it through its test on the wife's pastry which is more on the consistency of a bag of the locals pork scratchings, the tooth survived
 
For a sharp tooth I've used emery board and it works a treat if you need to take a little off the tooth. I had one of my front bottom teeth that kept catching my top one every now and again and had to take quite a bit off the tooth and the emery board would have took me ages. I got my missus's battery powered nail file and this was brilliant and definetly the way forward for any sharp teeth.
 
So an update the tooth started giving me some serious jip so last week I went back and the women dentist said, it's close to the nerve all the filling hence its very sensitive plus its not in good shape and I had an abscess.


The x-ray showed the 2 root parts were bent like a banana so she couldn't guarantee a root canal would be successful and it might have to come out anyway.
This tooth is the second from back on the bottom so I said I've put up with it long enough pull it she said take 5 - 10 minutes.
1 hour in and she's still at it, drilling, pointy screwdriver pliers, wacking my head everywhere then,
Crunch!!
The tooth snapped at the gum line, tooth goes down the throat never to be seen again.
At this point she gave up and said I will have to see a specialist to get the rest out that's if it bothers me.

Thing that's bothering me is, its a food chewer tooth, everything I eat f##ks off and piles up into this hole so I'm eating on the other side.
Just wondering if anyone on here has had a tooth implant, a screw into the jaw job. If so whats your thoughts, good, bad ?.


The other thing I found really strange is, the position of my tongue has altered, its now decided to rub against a bottom fang and f##kin annoying the buds off me like rolls over the top really bad.


It's like that big moler tooth that's 1/2 gone was a guide rail for the side of my tongue and now the the tooth no longer there the side of my tongue is dropping into the hole, its a really really weird, anyone had a similar experience?.
I did go back yesterday but she wasn't very helpful on that subject.

Regarding the implant I'm wondering if they'll remove the bits on the same day they'd do the implant or do I have to have to sessions extract then replace.
 
It keeps me on my toes,



me and a m8 have had a competition for 20 years plus as to who's the most unluckiest.
I was 2 lengths in front coming up to the last, winning post in view
When,
While in full lock down he was sunbathing in his garden a tea candle burnt his extension office down lost all his mancave gear. Then the next day he was oncall (emergency spark) he pulled a cable which whiplashed and cut his eyeball had to have stitches in the eye itself.
Then a few days later a guy left his handbrake off at the front of his place and this guys car rolled backwards but turned and hit is.

I was coming up the rail with this tooth job snapping till he told me he spent all Christmas day looking for a vet because his mums cat was dragging it's back legs along the rug and she thought it was paralysed. So 7 hours later and about 50 mile on the clock and £500 lighter he came out this vet's place and the cat stood up on the backseat of his car and hopped into the front seat, sat down and starred at him 😀


Tbh he beats me hands down
 
I'm getting all my teeth pulled out, Only ever had 1 tooth plus 2 wisdom teeth out
Going to get implants 6 on top, 4 on the bottom and 20 crowns🦷, they want £20/£24K here so I'm going to Turkey which will cost me £11.500 plus flights/hotel

never really had any problems until I stopped smoking
smoking since a kid so your gums dry up and once you quit 30yrs later the blood starts to flow again, plus my gums have receded, which has made my teeth loose, I have stage 4 gum disease and gum abscess so they gotta come out, I could wait till they fall out but I'm just going to get them pulled 🦷

Jesus!!, I didn't realise how much it cost that's scary. Good luck m8, you'll be gleaming when you get done.
So the pulling them and implanting at the same time/same day ?. That's what I hoping theyll do to me all on the day not 2 visits.

My brother has been to Turkey and had all implants. He has to go back just to have the back teeth fitted. His teeth look really good. He did say they do all the work in a week and is full on. The work in this country is done over a longer period of time and as you know is way more expensive.
 
Yes you go for 1 week first time, they pull ya teeth and put the implants in and give you dentures
then about 2 to 6 months later you go for 2 weeks then they fit your crowns or what ever you are getting

You can get ones called All on 4/6/X were they do it all in a few days cheaper but not as good as the above

In Turkey the costs are
1 implant £550
1 crown £200
1 tooth pulled £50
dentures £500

He said they pulled out all his teeth and then cut his gums open and fit the base into gums for implants. He then had all the front teeth put in but they couldn’t do the back ones as you have to wait for some reason not sure why. He also said the clinic was state of the art and very professional.

Yes back ones are harder, need gums to heel, I'm going to Sevil in Antalya Turkey it might be were he went as they are the best but there is others a bit cheaper
 
This woman is trying to fundraise £20,000 to have her teeth fixed. Reckons it's down to being unable to visit a Dentist due to the Covid lockdowns.
She'd be better looking into the Turkey option and have a great holiday or two on the donators at the same time.

I lost all mine over 2 years ago so the surgeons could have access to my mouth for the cancer surgery. My Consultant mentioned recommending me for falsies at my last appointment. I'm unsure of that to be honest. I doubt I can even open my mouth wide enough yet to pop them in.

I do feel very subconscious about talking in front of someone who isn't aware of what I have went through and actively avoid situations where this may occur. I would prefer the options you guys are talking about but at my age it isn't really worth it.
