I have a pain in the gum where a tooth was extracted, what action should I take?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

i had my left eyetooth taken out after an accident about 6 mths ago..all has gone well until i felt a slight pain a few days ago. after a closer look, i was shocked to find i have a small rip/hole in my gum just above where the tooth would’ve been. im not in a medicel benefit fund atm and am really afraid there could be bad news waiting for me if i see a doctor. have you heard of this problem before? will it go away on its own? is there a reason for me to be so afraid? or is this a normal thing that will just need a bit of antibiotics?

I am 23 years old and still have milk teeth, I am worried, what should I do?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Dear Sunita,

I’m 23 and I still have two milk teeth near the front of my mouth, I read your answer in response to a previous question regarding hypodontia and was wondering if I fall into this category?

Also, with only two milk teeth would I be entitled to dental implants on the NHS? The reason I ask is that one tooth is beginning to feel uncomfortable and as if it is escaping from the gum line, this is also making the upper teeth catch on it and I am very worried to bite on this tooth in case it just falls out!

My dentist has mentioned these milk teeth to me on many occasions and when I ask him what my options are, his answer is always the same ‘they may fall out in your 20s or your 50s, you will lose them eventually’. However my dentist has never mentioned the possibility of implants, even though I have mentioned the problems I have with them to him. Should I start looking for a new dentist? The issue is really depressing and is really affecting my life.

Thank you in advance for your answer!

I have been to the doctors and they have given me medication for acid reflux which didn’t work I have had penicillin and now nystatin nothing has worked.

Why does my tooth keep rising, 18 months after a root canal?

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Q.

I have a molar ( #19) that had a root canal 18 months ago. The tooth continues to rise slightly in the socket, and my dentist has to grind the crown down slightly twice. I do wear a splint at night on the upper teeth. I do not feel any pain in the tooth, but as it continues to rise it meets the upper teeth and begins to become tender in the root area. My question is why does the tooth continue to rise, and will it stop rising?
