I had a crown put on a tooth of mine and now it has broken off should i get it recaped?

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown put on a tooth of mine. When my crown came in I was called yo the office to have it attached. It was to long so she remove it and took a drill and shorter so my bite could be even. While doing this I heard her say something to her assittant. When she put it back on it didn’t shap in place but she used it anyway!! then she whet about bonding it better be doing something like filling a cavity. Is this the right thing to do? Now it has broken off and she has moved to a different office. and she told me at the time that a cap is not garinteed. Did I get taken adventage of her? I do not have insureance for Dental. Did I get robed. and should I get it recaped. Thank You

my 10 year daughter has overbite is there any other alternative than having retainers

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Q.
Hi, my 10 year old daughter has a 10mm overbite and has been given upper and lower retainers. These are quite bulky, awkward and cause her difficulty speaking – because of their inherent design, she cannot close her mouth fully. I was told that the goal was to move the lower jaw forward, before fitting ‘train tracks’ in 6 to 12 months time. My daughter is shy, and finds these appliances socially very difficult. The only alternative offered was removal of 2 upper teeth and then train tracks, but were we told much better results would be obtained using these bulky and awkward retainers. My question therefore is, is there an alternative to these unpleasant appliances that can achieve the same result?

A.
Unfortunatley there isn’t an a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have had a tooth extracted and 12 day later my mouth feels hot is this an infection?

Friday, June 26th, 2009
Q.
I have had a tooth extracted of left upper 6. The dentist couldn’t get it out – I had a lot of trauma worse experience of my life! However 12 days later my mouth feels hot and the gum is SPLIT and it doesn’t look like its healing also funny tingles going on up there.. What is this an infection?… or is gum trying to heal?? Should I go back to dentist? ALSO The same tooth was part of a bridge; the other two teeth (4, 5 is in a shorter bridge now). He suggested an implant; but have been looking up about MAXI Implant which is cheaper and quicker – is this an option? Why didn’t he suggest a replacement bridge? is it because i now i have two missing teeth in that area? Why did the incisor tooth take so long to remove – it was about 10 minutes!! I had a terrible headache! He said because the ‘root’ was thick … is this usually the case?. Surely such difficult teeth should be taken out at the hospital!! Still traumatized patient… Thanks for your reply!

My bridge unit has a very slight wobble or rocking movement is this ok?

Friday, June 26th, 2009
Q.
I have a 4 unit bridge on the upper right of my mouth- this was fitted at the end of 2006 and I clean it well and floss underneath. I have been aware for quite some time of a very slight “wobble” or “rocking” movement when I apply pressure to one side or the other. Is this Ok? there is no pain and it it seems very securely fixed on to my teeth- is it just that there is a two tooth space between the actual teeth holding the bridge? I could not affor a new one and my dentist doesn’t seem overly concerned about it. Please advise

Friday, June 26th, 2009
Q.
