    11yrs ago I had one of my front teeth knocked out,the local clinic put a post in it and its been fine and never given me any trouble apart from it being black!I have been to a few dentists regarding a crown or whatever would make it look"normal"they wouldnt touch it!the same with a specialist dentist in a private hospital here in Kerry as he said it may go into distress and fall out.:eek:
    Is there any help for me out there?Im really fed up with it now even though after xrays all dentists did say it was a great job and I was lucky to get so long out of it ,and it has only darkened at the root(even though the root is dead)

    You need a crown or veneer and I really cant see why any dentist wont do it for you - Ive never heard of that before!

    they all seemed to be afraid if they touched it there would be a chance of it falling out
