I would go see another dentist and get a second opinion. There are other options out there, yes you may have to wait until you are older to put crowns on those teeth. But I would ask about other options.. Good luck
Reply:i suggest you seek alternative dentists
Reply:My grandson who is six years old had to have a crown on one of his teeth. He had damaged the tooth and it couldn't be pulled without causing him problems.It was also a front tooth . If they can crown his tooth, they can do the same for you. Your dentist needs to do the work or send you to someone who will.
Reply:Best option is to get crowns, while a lot of dentists dont like to do this till the patient is older, I think you are old enough. That will be the only true fix if the fillings keep breaking off. Crowns are expensive though (but your parents can check into CareCredit financing). The dentist shouldnt leave you 'high and dry' and not fix the teeth, so I would see another dentist and see what they say. Could be the material they are using too and every office uses different stuff. You have to be very careful with fillings, esp large ones, on the front teeth. No biting into hard things, they will break. Also a good idea to wear a mouthguard if you play sports. Good Luck!!
Reply:Yes, they should be fixed. Crowns work best in your mid 20's - you teeth will keep erupting - getting longer - so crowns done now will look off then. Also the nerves are larger, so it's hard to trim the tooth enough to make it look good.





Something should be done now though - sometimes you have to do the crowns (caps) at your age.
