I have had TMJ for many years

Friday, January 30th, 2009
Q.
I have had TMJ for many years, and the last three years I have suffered with a displaced disc which meant I had chronic facial pain and the disc used to become inflamed quite regularly. My dentist recently gave me a splint to wear 24/7 for about 8 weeks which helped with the facial pain but did nothing for the disc. I then started to experience terrible headaches with the splint so the last time I saw my detist he said he could do no more for me and sent me to a specialist in London. This specialist would like to perform open surgery to re-attach the disc and then adjust my bite. Another specialist has said I could have an arthroscopy. Is it possible you could tell me which would be best please? I was hoping the disc might go back without surgery but it looks like it might not be the case. Many thanks

are there any other injections that are more likely to numb the nerves in my teeth

Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Kailesh The injections given in your mouth to make it numb before drilling etc. do not work on me. They numb my lip, tongue, gum etc. but NOT the nerves in my teeth. I have been treated by dentists using sedation which at least helps me get through it, but I do still remember some pain. Are there any gum injections that are more likely to numb the nerves in my teeth so I don’t need sedation as my dentist has told me he is going to stop doing it and I’m desperate! Thanks.

I have recently had a porcelain bridge fitted

Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Q.
Dear Sir, I have recently had a porcelain bridge fitted at the front (upper) as I lost my front tooth to an abscess.I am happy with it cosmetically but as my top teeth protrude the dentist sanded down two porcelain teeth at the back as to avoid them catching the lower teeth. Originally he said they would be remade as I paid privately and he said they would be covered by insurance; but now says he has permanently cemented them. The two porcelain teeth that have been sanded are rough on my tongue and I wonder can they still be adjusted.

I was thinking of having the 6 month ortho

Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Q.
I was thinking of having the 6 month ortho and i was wondering if you knew a place where i could have this done. If I go to leicester which is where you are located it would take 7 hours on the train as i live in gloucestershire. Also are there any requirements, I basically have one tooth crown on the right which is slightly in front of the other about 1-2mm, the tooth next to it is slightly back about 3-4mm. So in effect I need the right crown pushed back and the tooth next to it pushed forward. I asked a few years ago if veneers were possible however they said no, at the time though i was on NHS, can pay for it now, no problem with money issues anymore. Hate the thought of braces unless they are invisible, would want the quickest method possible. Any suggestions on a location, any other help would be great. Thanks

I have a scratch on my front tooth

Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Q.
I have a scratch on my front tooth, that has become really quite visible. It now appears like a small chip out of the front of my tooth. It has recently become sensitive on eating or drinking anything. I am extremely paranoid about this as the tooth appears to be very weak and i am extremely concerened about its appearance. What kind of treatments could cover this scratch/chip, and how much would these be likely to cost.

The dentist has repaired them using bonding but he is worried when eating and won’t bite with them because he heard the dentist advising me about being careful when eating hard food.
