Sir, I have a tooth decayed to the gum line, means the tooth is completely lost except except some pieces. What is the treatment to be taken for it and how much will it cost. I have another tooth decay which was treated 6 years back. They the filled the tooth, but 6 months back the filling came out when I am eating noodles. Sir, please kindly tell me the steps that I should follow and what will be the cost for the treatment. Thank you very much.

Dear Lybrate user, if your tooth structure is lost and only pieces are left, you need to get those extracted. The cost for taking out such stumps ranges between 400-800 at most private clinics. The other tooth for which the filling has fallen out might be eligible for a re-filling if you do not have any painful symptoms associated with it otherwise root canal treatment will have to be carried out. Visit your dentist for a complete checkup soon.

If there is no tooth above the gum line, the tooth should be removed and a false tooth placed. You can go for an implant to be placed at the same time as removal of your tooth. The filling in your other tooth can be replaced. Get it done immediately before it breaks any further and requires removal too.
