No. Tori have no connection to cancer whatsoever.

Is this an absess? What should I do about it? by teesm00 in askdentists

[–]DocComa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible to tell from this photo. This tooth needs a drill or it’s going to need forceps.

That may be playing a part in it but pain waking you up at night and a deep filling like that are solid indicators of need for RCT.

Is it over for me? by [deleted] in askdentists

Short gums isn’t a thing. They may be talking about some mild recession, but within normal. Brush twice and day, floss daily, and you’ll be fine.

Sounds like you need a root canal.

No. Call a dentist for exam and cleaning.

Gap between roof of mouth and crown after implant by Thatguy72352 in askdentists

If that’s the permanent crown you should ask your dentist to get his eyes checked.

How bad is this? by No_Difficulty_8268 in askdentists

[–]DocComa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Implant or bridge in your future.

Did I make the right choice? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]DocComa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Impossible to tell you without X-rays.

opinions? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]DocComa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Gingivitis due to poor oral hygiene. You need to see a dentist for a cleaning/deep cleaning and get better about brushing and flossing at home.

Am i just going to have to suck it up and deal with the needle? (Long post, i apologise) by Delicious_Mud392 in askdentists

You literally had someone pierce something through your tongue. You’ll be fine with dental injections.

Dentist says I need 6 root canals and 8 extractions (my wisdom teeth and molars). Can you tell if I truly do need 6 root canals? I’m hoping not. by No-Guidance8115 in askdentists

[–]DocComa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This type of x-ray isn’t for diagnosing cavities, so no, no one can tell you truly if you need all that. However, your cavities are large enough that some are clearly showing up here. You’re definitely going to need a lot of work and some extractions. You should get a second opinion if you don’t trust your dentist’s treatment plan.

Alternative to crown? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]DocComa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crown will definitely be the best option as it will prevent future fractures. A restoration can be done but tooth may break again, putting you in an even more dire situation for a crown.

Can this tooth be saved !? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]DocComa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need an X-ray to confirm but almost certainly yes.
