Is my tooth infected or is it decaying?

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi I had the last molar on my right side extracted just over 2 weeks ago and the extraction site is healing fine. Up until a few days ago I was finding it hard to brush the molar next to it but now I can without pain.. I was worried about decay at the back of this tooth so I used a mirror to check it and noticed it was slightly stained, upon feeling it with my finger I felt a sharp pain when my nail touched a certain part of the tooth. Could it be infected or decaying or is this normal due to the extraction?? I also have a small silver filling in the tooth so could this be a factor in causing the pain?? Please help as I am extremely freaked out and worried!,
A.

Would a brace work in my case?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
Q.
I would like advise on the best type of treatment. One of my two front teeth has a filling as I broke it in half when I was young. The filling is ok if looked after and cleaned regularly but the two teeth are not exactly the same length. My dentist advised not to “mess with it” as he says it is cracked right up into the root. The tooth next to it is an underbite and in photos often looks like a gap. I would love to be able to have this pushed forward but I am concerned about potentially knocking or damaging the already damaged front tooth. I am also concerned about taking a healthy tooth and having it filed down to a have a crown put on as I have friends who constantly have problems with crowns falling off. I would also like to be able to have a “good smile” throughout treatment. Would a brace work or do I need something more evasive?,
A.
A brace is possible but I cann… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I don’t want my tooth extracted but I’ve been told by my dentist that root canal treatment would fail, any advice?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Q.
I have been advised by my dentist that a back tooth needs to be removed (at the moment I have an abcess) but he is not recommending root canal treatment as he does not feel that it will be successful but is happy to refer me to a specialist in that field. I would obviously prefer to keep my tooth but he feels that the root canal treatment would not last and would need to be repeated with the eventual result of the tooth having to be removed. Any advise/recommendations would be much appreciated.,
