Q. Hi, I have recently had 4 crowns fitted to my front teeth. They were fixed with temporary cement at first and all of them fell off within a couple of weeks. Since being fitted with permanent cement they have been in place for a couple of months but they feel like they are moving. I have previously had veneers and they sometimes used to give a clicking sensation which i was used to yet with the crowns it is much more often. I am worried that the crowns are not fitted properly (especially as they fell off) and my own tooth may become damaged. My dentist says there is nothing wrong and not to worry. Can you please provide some advice?
A. You need to discuss this with your dentist

Q. i have been diagniosed today with facial neuralgia this was because my trigeminal nerve was damaged during a root canal. i was wondering could you tell me the recovery time on this please?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the root canal treatment is usually not such a invasive procedure that it will have severed your nerve so the nerve will just be bruised more than likely.
my advice is to monitor the problem it should get better week on week and have full resolution in around 3 months time.

Q. Hello im due to have my tooth taken out witch id rather have it capped but how much would it cost to cap a tooth its the front and to the left at the top
A. it depends on what is wrong with the tooth. If it needs root treatment and a post before crowning the cost may double. anything from 350 to 1000. you need to know what the chance of success is if you do the work. Rob

Q. I have had veneers for about 6 months and for the past week I have been experiencing pain under one of them. Last night I could not sleep because the pain got so intense. I’m afraid one of the teeth under the veneer has a problem. How would taking care of this go about?
A. You may need the nerve treated – this should not involve the veneer

Q. I am considering implants in my lower jaw as I have lost all the double back teeth. They were havily filled and all abcessed and I had to have them removed. I grind my teeth at night and in the day and wonder if this would have been a factor in my losing them to abcesses. I have had a mouthguard in the past but don’t use one now. Would the tooth grinding adversely affect the implants? Thank you
A. Yes tooth grinding might damage the implant crowns. They will need to be made to fit into your bite very precisely, you might need to wear a bite guard to protect them during the night.

Q. my teeth are in a terrible state after lifetime of other health problems. ive tried my best to look after them but the amount of medication as well as constant vomiting have weakened them. i spent so much time in hospital that the last thing wanted to do when ok was visit dentist. now i really need to get to a dentist and want to but im so ashamed-what can i do?
A. Hi
Please dont be ashamed. We see a variety of problems, more extreme then your case. The most important thing to do is to visit a dentist to have a full mouth examination. This would allow the dentist to outline your options.

Q. Hi Dr Solanki, I was just in need of some smile advice! I am currently 24 and male and would like the perfect smile like everyone else! I don’t have bad teeth, infact i think they are quite good. However one of my front teeth and the one next to it were broken as a child and they have been built up using white composite and so look discoloured (Dead) they are greyish and it seems to get worse. I would love to have my teeth whitened and something done for these to match what would you suggest? i also would like my back doubles evening out on one side as they uneven my smile? I can sen d you a picture maybe if that helps? Thanks for you time, Much Appreciated
A. hi, the first thing would be to book a consultation so i can assess your teeth. however from the information you have provided, i think the plan of action would be:
1: tooth whitening
2:veneers or crowns(all porcelain) on the two front teeth.
3:assessment of the uneven smile on the back teeth to see how best to correct this.
hope this is helpful. And yes a picture would be helpful.

Q. I was told i needed a crown on one of my back teeth and actually had it fitted today, when i got home and had a closer look i can see that i have not had a full crown as i was expecting but instead i have a patial crown that only covers half of my tooth.I am a little annoyed that this was not made clear me at the start as i would have rather have had a full crown as i feel that it would be much stronger. Is it normal practice to do this sort of crown?
A. These crowns are very effective without the need to dril down as much tooth tissue so see how it goes as it should work well.

Q. Dr Moore, My wife attended the dentist last month for a routine check-up. The dentist told her that she needed a filling and made another appointment for her to attend for this. later on, after having the filling done, she was havig a lot of pain. She went back to the dentist and he told her that he would have to remove the nerve from this tooth. My wife was still having a lot of pain. within the last week, her mouth & face has swollen causing her extreme pain. She went back to the dentist again and he removed another nerve from a tooth at the front of her mouth. I am very concerned that my wife has been suffering with pain for several weeks now as a result of attending the dentist for a routine check-up. Is this normal?
A. Complications such as these can occur after a filling, however it is important that they are dealt with correctly. Perhaps she should go back and ask him to explain what has happened in her case
