Dentist question

Retro89Retro89

So i haven't been to the dentist in years as they pretty much told me the same thing "keep brushing as normal etc". My teeth have been in pretty good condition even though the chemotherapy treatment i had years ago damaged them.
But yesterday i was having my dinner when i felt a cracking sound and i go and have a look in the mirror to see part of a molar is loose. Theres no blood or pain but im avoiding eating anything on that side.

Now im guessing i just phone up my old dentist to book an appointment right? Also has anyone else had this happen, if so what will the dentist do, remove the tooth or just stick it back together?

    Probably depends on how bad it is, they won't stick it back together.
    Most likely removal if it's bad.

    The dentist may build a 'wall' with filling or something if its savable.

    It's unfortunate but they will most likely take the tooth out.

    Hopefully, the part thats loose is small.

    That would be the least of your worries when the tooth ache starts

    Thats the exact reason I am sitting up tonight. Toothache started late on Sunday and I am in agony. Been years since I had toothache and I had forgotten how painful and horrid it is :(

    From the looks of it ive done this Cusp fracture — "These affect only the pointed chewing surfaces (the cusps) of the teeth and not the pulp of the tooth. Minor cusp fractures are repaired by filing the surfaces of the tooth to restore the shape of the tooth. If the crack is extensive an onlay or crown is required."

    If your last visit was over a year ago you may well have to register with another dentist as they take you of the list if you have not been for regular check ups
