I want to know how truth that is. If so how likelly is it something like that to happen. Please any one answer my ?

Root Canal on my front upper tooth
Moderator: bbsadmin
I knocked most of my front tooth out when I was in high school (I fainted and landed on concrete)... Not a pretty sight!!!
I had root canal and thought having a bracket put on it may have been a problem but the ortho said it wouldn't be an issue.
I've had no trouble with it at all and have been braced almost 3 yrs.
Only thing is that the tooth has got a lot darker since, so I can't wait to get them off and have it fixed and matching the others.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I hope it all works out for you!

I don't get it; how can you have a "root" if you had a root canal which takes the roots out?Luis818 wrote:I have a root canal on my upper front tooth.

I didn't pick up on that fact cos I actually had no idea what a root canal was (but knew i'd had one)...Chris wrote:I don't get it; how can you have a "root" if you had a root canal which takes the roots out?
I just checked it out via google though and it seems you're right.
