Two retained tooth
I had two retained canines in upper jaw. One of them has fallen out three years ago and I thought maybe the permanent tooth will come. But it didn't. So I can't even smile properly it has left a horrible gap. Nowadays the remaining retained canine is paining and bleeding. I think it's going to fall out. Can anyone please help me with good and cost effective suggestion? Cause it's really taking toll on my personal and professional life. Please help me

Since you had 2 retained canines, there are 2 possibilities.
1. Your permanent canine are lying on the inside or somewhere in the bone
2. Your permanent canines are missing
Both these conditions can be managed with orthodontic treatment or braces.
For a more detailed opinion, please send me a picture of your teeth and any xraya if you have

Hi. As per the present condition of your teeth you will probably require a fixed orthodontic treatment. To better under stand the condition a full mouth X-ray would give us a clear picture. Other options to improve your smile may require fixed crowns/caps to close the space present.
Next Steps
Practo consult an Orthodontist

For time being avoid eating on the side where the tooth is moving.

Hi, i can understand your problem.. first thing we need xray to find out the permanent canines are missing or they are inside the bone(impacted). According to that treatment plan will be changed.. if there is no permanent canine inside, implant is the best option.
Next Steps
please take an OPG first and post it
