Hello And Happy Holidays. My question is--The other day my (I call it a fake tooth ) crown and post came out-The crown still has 2 small treaded posts that were glued into it.. Ok my question is The area on the gum where this fell out from is Clean with no pain--I do see a plastic looking insert in my gum with two holes where the posts were--can you explain this to me..Thank you!!
Hi heartland for Puerto my belief I feel crowns were given to your tooth which were firstly treated endodontically meaning to subside infection/pain/or further infection on a broken tooth or infected tooth, ROOT CANAL TREATMENT is done. And to give the added support, strength and structure to the question tooth, POST and CROWNS are given .once your crown gets removed along with posts you would see two / three holes(depending on tooth)or canals filled with GUPTA PERCH POINTS (chewing gum like fillings) after the root canal treatment. Hope you could relate to your query now. Plz get your crowns fixed again.than regards
