Hi, I am having an upper !st molar extracted and my dentist has recommended a temporary denture until my gum heals, before i can get a bridge fitted. Is this the only option? Or could i get a temporary bridge? The two surrounding teeth are undamaged and not filled.
I have one tooth missing on my left side, the tooth next to it has a large filling and needs a crown ( i think) what can be done to make me have a nice smile and roughly how long would treatment take?
I have a toothache in my bottom molar, no 6 on my left. I assumend something was rotten and rushed off to the dentist. He checked it out carefully, and found nothing wrong. He X-rayed the tooth, the root from both sides, and said there was nothing wrong. He found a lot of plaque on the inside of my bottom teeth and especially on the sore one. He said he thought that the tooth was reacting supsiciously to the plaque. We had it removed by th oral hygienist. Now the plaque is gone, and the tooth is still sore. It is sensitive to pressure, hot and cold liquids. It is not excruciating, and it doesn’t seem to get worse. It just stays like that. I’ts been more than a month.
A friend said that one’s teeth are linked to certain organs, and apparently, that tooth is linked to the spleen or the stomach – she said it is on the same “meridian”, so if there is nothing wrong with the tooth, it might be that there is something wrong with the spleen. I would appreciate your comments on this, or how to proceed from here.
If the dentist didn’t find anything wrong, and I paid through my neck for the appointment, I can’t imagine going back. What more can he do than all the Xrays etc.?
Why would a proffesional dentist fit bridges to 3 main teeth to hold the bridges knowing that these teeth were in poor condition and would eventually rot causing the bridges to slacken and fall out…..plus 1 bridge wasnt fitted right leaving huge gap..was told they would last 10 years also i am still paying for all the work done but sadly all the bridges need to be removed…..After getting my 2 front teeth fitted in for the 2nd time in December 07…I saw a dentist here in Scotland the following March his oppinion was that the teeth were wrongly fitted and after xrays so many problems were found…I was sent to a private independant dentist and had my mouth full checked so much was found and was told that all bridges have to be removed…So please tell me why????….I cannot eat right hav’nt for a few years now….After contacting the dentist who did the work offered me to come back and she would remove them and make me false dentures at no cost…now that says a lot!….I had the work done in Salford by a Dr X..I cannot travel there been ill have Ruhmatoid Arthritis prevents me barely moving…Please advise me on this matter…My teeth are in very poor contition..I have been mucked about with dentists for many years now….Is money all that matters to them what about what it does to the patient….Believe me it has ruined my life….I await your reply….thankyou!..
Dear Dr Moore, I am looking to have my teeth whitened but have a bridge where I lost a tooth playing football. What would I need to to ensure that my bridge is the same colour as my whitened teeth? Kidn regards,
i had a missing front tooth, then i had a from tooth extraction 2 weeks ago with a denture fitted immediately,it does not fit right in my mouth. when first fitted couldnot remove it went back to denist he then made it very loose ,i have been back today to tell him that its still not right and he told me to leave it 6 weeks and that i cannot have another 1 made is this right .because i am currenlty exempt from paying for my treatment. i really don’t know what else to do.
i’ve had 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago and my slight overbite has gotten much worse. is this temporary cause of the swelling?
Hi andrew
Wrote before about not being able to Get the right shape and feel of the One tooth I had broke. Remember I Said I had a temporary tooth that I Like.t, and you said get a copy made of that one, I would do that only I dont Have that temporary one anymore. Is Possible that you would have a few temporay teeth I could have Fitted temporay, then finally get a Proper one copyed from the temp? How much do you charge for this Service I know it is a bit different Than your normal request
