you have to get it taken care of. there is no way around it. cavities don%26#039;t go away they just get worse. So I suggest you save and get it done or find a dental plan that will help. Not addressing the issue can lead to you getting an abscess, which is not so fun. sorry there is no home remedy i can give you
Reply:Just go to someone who covers your insurence you need to get that check out, I hate to see people teeth messed up and everyone deserves a perfect smile even if your insurence wont cover it maybe they can have you pay something monthly that you can afford
Reply:They are called buccal caries. You don%26#039;t need a bridge. You either need to get them pulled or root canals on them. Getting them pulled is by far the most economic way, if you%26#039;re short on money.





Do get this taken care of right away because if it continues, it can go into much bigger issues that you don%26#039;t want to deal with.
Reply:Hay i know this is something you don%26#039;t want to hear but you should really get them fixed before it gets worse. The fact that it’s bleeding could be more than broken teeth. You could have some infection which usually cause bleeding and swollen latter. Meaning ur teeth are already broken and there is a possible decay around them which is the cause of the smell and the bleeding. Pretty soon you%26#039;ll experience lots of pain due to the infection you%26#039;ll build up. So i know insurance is an issue and dentistry is very expensive for all of us these days but you can ask your dentist about other options like braking the payments in small amount every month instead of one big payment or financing with low interest would be a good way too. In the mean time though your dentist could at least clean out the decay and put some sedative filling material or some kind of temporary material to get you some time by and to also protects your teeth from more braking. Until you see your dr though, try to swish your mouth with salt warm water on that area to kill the bacteria and to stop the bleeding too. Alive is highly recommended for pain if you have pain. And you could also ask your dr about a possible build up and single crown if you think you won’t be able to afford the bridge. The build up is something the tooth will need irregardless cus your tooth is broken and it need as much support as it can get to hold your crowns in place. The build up it self is a very strong permanent filling but its not meant to last for too long but at least it will get you some time by and then you can get your bridge. Well i hope this will help and hope u feel better :)
Reply:Depending how much decay you have in both of them you will need to have a root canal, build up and crown done if you want to keep those teeth. If you don%26#039;t have them taken care of you will end up needing a root canal because the nerve of the tooth will get infected. The decay may not be into the nerve of the tooth yet so they might even be able to fix it with just putting a filling in each tooth. If there is not enough tooth structure then you will need the crown. You should really have this taken care of before the teeth get infected. Abscessed teeth hurt really bad and it is not good for your body to have an infection like that. You should try to find a dental school and have them do the work because it will be alot cheaper. Good luck!
Reply:Why won%26#039;t your insurance give you coverage?


If you don%26#039;t have dental insurance there are programs that you can apply for. One is called Care Credit. It%26#039;s like having a dental credit line to use to fix your teeth.


Are the teeth so badly broken that they have to be extracted? If you cannot afford the bridge, discuss possible other options with your dentist such as a flipper.


Good luck.
