Q. I have a cracked tooth and my dentist plans to fit a gold crown over it because it is a back tooth and this will be the strongest sort of crown. The nerve seems to be healthy so I have not had root canal treatment. However, the tooth does seem to hurt when pressured and I presume this is because the cracked tooth reacts to pressure. Could the crack be repaired so that it doesn’t move when under pressure or must it rely simply on the tooth being held together by the strong crown?
A. hi many thanks for your email, i think the cracked tooth needs protecting and the crown whether it be gold or a bonded porcelain crown should be used to keep the tooth together. sometimes these cracks can propergate right through the nerve of the tooth so my advice would be first to explore the crack, do a core build up on the tooth to make sure it settles preferably in white filling material and then if the tooth stays settled crown the tooth. hope this is helpful.

Q. In my most recent dentist visit, my dentist had replaced several of my silver amalgam fillings with composite ones (not sure which exact type but it did involve UV light and some sort of bonding agent). One of the teeth was a Molar with pretty big cavity the filling covered most of the top of the tooth/chewing surface). Afterwards, I read online that specifically for Molars and certain cavities (not sure which ones) composite fillings are recommended less than silver (amalgam) ones due to increased problems with leakage, less longetivity (about 5 yrs less than amalgam), and if compromised higher chances of having to do a root canal to fix it. At the same time, I am pretty sure he used the most recent version of composite filling used in US – because he just recently started using it and was REALLY proud of it. So the material was the latest version, not sure about his technique though since its my first experience with this particular filling method. This made me concerned, since the cavity I had was pretty deep and another dentist (couple of years back) warned me that next time I might have to do a root canal because of the depth of the cavity. My question is was my current dentist right in replacing my old amalgam fillings for a big cavity in my molar – the cavity was at the top of the tooth (chewing surface) with composite fillings instead of using silver amalgam again?
A. I do not use amalgam in my practice, i only use composite for fillings, or if the cavity covers a large part of the tooth surface then i will use a lab made restoration called a porcelian inlay. However this restoration is a lot more costly.
Without seeing your teeth, in my opinion your dentist did the right thing by replacing your fillings with composite as amalgam is not adhesive and in some cases more of the tooth surface has to be taken away in order for the filling to stay in. For this reason i do not use amalgam, along with the obvious reason of its appearance.
Kind regards

A. You need to see your dentist it could be that your wisdom teeth are causing this but there may be another reason. Go and see your dentist and explain this to him / her.

Q. Hi there, just came across your website, and as a young graduated VT, i am interested in furthering my skills and knowledge. one of the things i was looking at doing was clear step, and saw that you are a practicing practisioner. Is it really as effective and successful. if there is a choice between and inman aligner, clear step or invisalign what would you chose? i would be really grateful if you can answer these for me. best wishes
A. firstly this is purely my personal opinion gained from my personal dealings with all of the above .
the clear aligner systems such as clearstep and invisalign are similar in function but i prefer invisalign out of the two as my dealings with clearstep have been unprofessional on their part.
the inman aligner has a specific purpose mainly for anterior incisors and is effective . the lab involved with this system also provide their own clear aligner system for minor corrections
the inman and invisalign are good start points but forget clearstep

Q. I fell down from the byke and my big right upper lip is 30% broke. and i feel very small part of my teeth is left in lower lip. because my lip is tight over there. it’s doubtfull as per the x-ray report. how can i ensure, whether tooth part is left or not in my lip. and what king of problems i may face if it remain in the lip.
A. If the x-ray shows that there is no tooth fragment in the lip then it is probably scarring you are feeling which should improve in the next few weeks.

Q. Hello Was wondering if you can kindly give me advice. I have a short upper lip which means my lips do not meet when I relax & consequently I always show my upper teeth. I have previously had Orthodontic & jaw surgery but my lips still do not meet. Is there a procedure where I can have my top lip lengthened? If so, can you provide me with details & where I have could have this done. Thanks for your help
A.
Dr Peter Fairbairn has a procedure to lower the upper lip. This is usually used to prevent excessive gum showing but it may be useful for your problem. Please contact him at www.scarsdaledental.co.uk to discuss your problem further. I hope Peter can help you.

I had done an implant 1 1/2 year ago. a week ago I\’ve noticed that around the implant on the gum there is bad odor, adn also it starting to be painfull, cold plase advice-
There are 2 likely possibilities to you discomfort. You main have inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue due to food accumulation around the implant or your implant may have failed. I would advise you to seek a dentist to have your situation fully evaluated.
