Is there something I can do to stop the decay?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
Hello, at my last visit, my dentist told me that I have a decay where my bridge was put 25 years ago. he said that it is too late to do anything now as the bone is gone (!) , the gum is retracted and the roots are out, I am very concern with that diagnostic and surely there is something to do to stop the decay. I don’t feel any pain apart from when the dentist applies cold air/ water. I can’t afford implants at this moment in time , but can it get worse if nothing is done now ? Thanks for your help. Joel Moko,

Could you give my mother a second opinion in regards to the dental treatment she may need?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
My mother has been advised by her dentist to have dental implants. She has suffered with ill fitting dentures which cause a lot of discomfort and irritation to her gums. I believe her tooth loss is due to gum disease and recently she has had the remainder of her teeth removed. She lives in Kent and I wonder if you would give her a second opinion? I am not happy with the recent dental care she has been receiving and would like her to have this procedure to end her suffering and know she is in safe hands. Thank you.,

Should I have a tooth extraction or the root canal treatment?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
Hi i have had several fillings performed on one of my molar teeth in the last 6 months (the last a deep filling) and have recently had an abcess. My dentist gave me a course of antibiotics and gave me the option of a root canal or extraction. However he stated that the prognosis wouldn’t be good if a root canal was was performed. I don’t really want to lose any of my teeth and feel that i have been ill advised. Having read loads of literature on root canals it appears to have a high success rate. Plus at the age of 30 would the rest of my teeth shift if iwas to go-ahead with a tooth extraction.,

I had my tooth surface polished but it still feels rough, why is this?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
I don’t know how I did it but the inside surface of one of my front teeth feels really rough and I went to have it polished at my dentist to make it smooth. However, it hasn’t sorted the problem and the tooth surface is still rough and uncomfortable. Why isn’t the polishing solving the problem and what other things can be done to make the tooth surface smooth again?,

I have to have my crowns that were fitted by the NHS now fitted privately, is this right?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
Over 30 years ago I had posted full porcalin crowns fitted with root canal treatment (4). I need them replaced due to falling over and upsettign them over 2 years ago they have now gone out of line. My dentist originally said she would replace these and after attending a appointment for 1st fiitting said that the NHS do not do these anymore and I would have to go private. This seems so unfair they were originally fitted by the NHS . Is this true or is it the lab that they use.,
