I visited my dentist due to persistent pain. After three visits, he concluded that the problem was because my gums had receded from a crown. He replaced the crown.

I have a silver amalgam filling which does not give me any pain but is making the tooth very grey. I am not due to see the dentist for a while yet but I just wanted to know if that was ok?! It is a large filling and there is not much tooth around it!

I have been to my dentist regarding pain in the one tooth that I have that had a root canal. My dentist is recommending extraction. I realize I can go to an Endodontist for treatment. Is that the way to go? If I have the tooth extracted (Lower Left no 7) will my teeth move, if I don't have an inplant?
