Do I have any option but tooth extraction?

Thursday, March 31st, 2011
Q.

lower molar gets root canal 2 years ago. x-ray at time shows suspicious small shaded area beneath the root that may be infection. so no crown is put on in case the infection develops and removal is req’d. Now, infection starts to erupt from gum surrounding the tooth. Dentist suspects fractured tooth has been cause but not seen on xray. new xray now suggests infection spreading in bone. Is there really any option but removal?

Could tooth removals change my facial profile?

Thursday, March 31st, 2011
Q.

my orthodontic has referred me to a dentist, the dentist will have to extract my pre-molar teeth, 2 of them, now my concerns are:

1: removing my pre molar teeth, would this have any change on my facial profile such as looking thinner or jus different because of a tooth being extracted from the right hand side and the left hand side? (i mean permanent impact)
2:if it has any impact on my facial features then what are these impacts, i have done research and some dentists say that it could have an impact on the facial profile,

my dentist will extract two teeth from top right and top left, this will leave a gap, then my frotn 4 top teeth will be pushed back and this will fill the gap slowly, so i would liek to know if this process stop any facial impact

the thing with me is that i dont want to look different for example extracting my teeth is a worry to me becaue i fear this could change my facial feature hence chaning my gums within my mouth and effecting how my jaw line looks and cheek area looks,

please would u assist me here if you are able to answer this, plz reply immediatly

thank u

Can you explain the flashes of pain I am getting in my tooth?

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011
Q.

Can mild tooth clenching cause gum swelling?
I’m 50, have a lot of fillings, and suddenly started having flashes of pain in a lower back tooth (6th from the front) with heat esp but also cold and sugar. It’s had fillings before. It got bad but the day before I saw a dentist it gradually went away. The dentist X-rayed it and found nothing wrong at all. Then it started up again. The pain seemed to echo in the top tooth and along my lower jaw. The next dentist likewise found nothing wrong on an X-ray, and no extra pain when he pressed the gum next to the root, but found a small piece of apple skin and removed it and told me to drip an antibacterial mouth wash into the gum/tooth lining with my tooth brush. The flashing pain cleared up but the tooth remained sensitive. Now there is swelling of the gum below the tooth low down at the jaw line and a little more pain than usual. I noticed when I relax to sleep I snug my lower jaw into my upper jaw firmly, and that the first point of contact is on that tooth. I think this was since some dental work done a year ago. Could this be the cause of the pain? Thank you for your time.
