How strong is permanent cement on a front tooth? My front tootChatDoctore out and the dentist used permanent cement to reattach it to the root. Is it safe? When I asked how long it would hold for, she answered by saying she doesnt know. Please help. Im terrified.
Hello, Permanent cement being used for sticking broken natural crown to the root is not advisable as it will not stay long. As soon as you bite anything hard on it then there is a chance that the crown will come off. Also, there are increased chances of infection. So my suggestion is to consult an endodontist and get evaluated. You can be advised either post and core treatment or removal of a root followed by implant or bridge placement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
