QUESTION:
I have been told I have a fractured tooth root. I have no symptoms at all in that tooth. It has been 2 months since I was told that. Could the dentist be wrong with this evaluation?
ANSWER:
It is possible to have a fractured tooth root and not have any symptoms. It is also possible that the dentist missed the diagnosis. If it is fractured it needs to be removed before it causes significant bone loss. I would suggest you see a periodontist to get an accurate diagnosis.
Hope this helps,
