Gum problem

First of all, what do you mean by "fake tooth"? Are you talking about an implant? Crown? What you need to do is ask your dentist- noone on SDN can give you a proper diagnosis without looking at your mouth.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Yet, I will say once again- you need to speak to a dentist. I would ask friends and family in your area who they suggest. I'm sure you can find someone you will trust more. If you can't find one that way, you might try going to your nearest dental school- if you are near one. You could probably get treatment in the student clinics or in the Faculty Practice- I'm sure they would be very honest with you. Hope it works out!

 

I always say that going to a "school" is the best place for a TRUE opinion... meaning without any monetary motivation. You don't have to get treated there, but for a diagnosis you can trust that is the safest place. Good luck!

 

Based on the fact that you're not sure about whether it's an implant or crown suggests to me that you never bothered to take an interest in your oral health and are just blaming it on not trusting a dentist. Implants are not routinely placed in "young" people, rather usually placed after growth of mandible and maxilla are near completion. Implants aren't taken off then re-plugged in. It sounds to me like a crown, with a metal collar at the base of it that was recemented. Unlvdmd most dentists give genuine advice and stop with this monetary motivation crap. If anything, especially at UNLV students are a little to "Credit-motivated" with cheating students and clueless administration are montetary driven with OEC crap.....ohh...sorry had to kick unlv while their down

Now again, go see a dentist. have an xray taken. there are too many possible things that may be going on. best of luck to you and remember preventive care is the best care.

 

Yeah, I agree. Most dentists do give sound advice. But if the PATIENT feels otherwise, a school is a place that dx things without having to worry about their overhead. And as far as digs at my school... I'm grown up enough not to respond to crap like that.

 

Go see a dentist, why are you asking this on the internet?

 

Don't blame TDK. He is a 15 y.o kid.

 

That's enough.

To the OP, go consult a dentist rather than seeking advice on SDN.
