Why did my tooth break off like that?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, my 3rd from back (molar) tooth has broken during my last dinner when I chewed on a very hard piece of food. Only a small piece of my tooth came off and has not gone past my gum line, there is about 1 millimeter of tooth until the gum begins. There is no pain and it has previously (many years ago) had a filling. I obviously know i have to go the dentist, but I am just after maybe a reason for this happening and a rough guide of what will happen next. Thanks,
A.

How much would it cost to replace 3 teeth?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Good morning Dr Solanki, I have recently lost a couple of teeth due to, I’m unhappy to say, poor care and lack of regular dental appointments. Truth is, the thought of going to the dentist petrifies me. When I’m in the “Reclining chair of pain” which I like to call it, I shake uncontrollably and as much as the shades I’m given make me want to believe I’m on a beach, there’s still a man poking around in my mouth that I’m not 100% at ease with. Due to the loss of these teeth, I have strongly considered cosmetic surgery and having dental implants put in to replace them. I have read the implants page of the website and the information is seems sound, especially that I can be put under if I’m extremely anxious. I was wondering however, what the proposed cost might be to replace these three teeth, being a lower left molar, lower right bicuspid and lower right molar. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time,
,
A.
Thank you for you enquiry. The… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a big fear of the dentist but I am suffering from tooth ache, what can I do?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi there I am really worried One of molars decayed needed filling after the birth of my daughter it has been filled which lasted a year. I had horrendous toothache went to the dentist where they temporary filled it . To see if the nerves in my tooth would settle. If not they suggested a root canal or extraction. My tooth has been fine for 7 months now the filling has fallen out, although i have a huge whole my tooth is fine. I am however very worried a s my gum has been throbbing which is near to the tooth this happens only now and then. Its not constant. I am petrified that its an abcess. I have a phobia of the dentist I have even been subscribed valium in the past thats why for the past three weeks I have be putting off going to see them. Also I would be quite happy to pay the dentist to fill my tooth every year as I am pertrified of having a root canal also Thanks in advance,
A.
