I’m dreading the extraction because I have low clotting factor IX, any advice?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Dear Dr Moore, I have had root canal treatment about 15 years ago. In the last few years, I have had a few re-fillings on this tooth (not canal again). Now all the filling has come out and following an abscess/infection, the little bit of tooth that was there, had to be removed to avoid pain when eating. The dentist here in Cyprus advised me to have the root removed. The problem now is that I am told I have to remove what is left (the root), and as I have low clotting factor iX, I dread having this extraction. Is there anything I can do to avoid exraction, as I have had such bad bleeding problems with teeth extracting inthe past. This is a nightmare for me. Especially now that I am in Cyprus for a few months. Please can you advise? Thank you.,
A. You could consider a new root canal treatment and a post crown as a last resort I guess

Is bonding a good option for getting rid of a noticeable gap?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Hi i have a gap between my two front teeth, it is reasonably big and very noticable. I had a brace for a year and it closed, but as soon as it came off the gap came back. Its really affecting me, every time i meet someone new i feel like they are staring at my teeth and i can’t stand it. I was wondering what you recommend doing? Is bonding a good option? Please help Thanks,
A. You would be best to wear a brace again, as long as you continiously wear a retainer afterwards the gap will stay closed. We now offer the Inman aligner this is designed for your front teeth only and takes only up to 12 weeks.

Is it true that if you have a crown it’s difficult to colour match it with the rest of your teeth?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. One of my main front teeth was broken off several years ago, and I had a root canal and bonding done. The tooth is now sort of a grey color, and I went to see a dentist about possibly redoing the bonding work for cosmetic purposes(functionally the tooth is fine). He told me that he would not do bonding on that tooth because of the grey color. I thought that bonding would cover the grey, but apparently not. He told me that he would suggest a crown over the tooth. I have read a lot of information however that would seem to indicate that when crowing only one main front tooth it’s difficult to do a proper color match. Is this true? Would the crown be your suggestion as well, or are there other options that I should check into?,
A. It is very difficult to do but the bonding won’t really cover the grey. You may need to pay extra for a crown on a front tooth and arrange to see the technician to take the shade

How much would lumineers cost me in the UK?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Hi, I’m 17 and very self conscious about how un-white my teeth are. I don’t smoke, drink tea or coffee- they just grew out like that, and I don’t know but maybe it’s due to calcium deficiency. One of them grew out with a dent and the rest, although now straightened by braces, are still discoloured, I want to get lumineers, but it doesn’t say anywhere I have found how much they would cost in the UK. Could you advise me? Thank you so much!,
A. You could try tooth whitening before considering lumineers. Enlighten is a very good tooth whitening system it can lift the shade of your teeth by up to 18 shades. Enlighten cost £650.00 Lumineers cost from £600.00 per tooth.

Surgery is the last option for me, how can I fix my front tooth?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. I have a pretty complicated issue with one of my front tooths (I believe 11) which has gone through root cancal a long time ago. It started hurting 5 months ago and when I went to the dentist to have it checked, I was told that I have to do an apicoectomy since he and another dentist could not find the canal. The entire canal has been sealed with a composite / filling exactly the same color as my tooth. He tried to drill half way but I started feeling some pain. He said he doesn’t want to take the risk since he might puncture the canal wall. Any suggestions as to what would be my best recourse? I was hoping surgery to be the last option. Thank u.,
A. You could get advise from an Endodontist, he specialises in root canal treatments and apicectomys. He works with a microscope so would have a better chance of finding the canal. Please feel free to contact the clinic to arrange a consultation with our specialist endodontist.

Do you think it is actually worth taking the antibiotics?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Dear Dr Moore I have a chronic infection in/around a root canal treated tooth which my dentist thinks is probably cracked, my dentist has x rayed this recently and is happy to leave it. I asked if I could try antibiotics, she was happy to give me a prescription for Metronidazole but said it would only get rid of the infection in the short term and it would come back. My question therefore is do you think it is actually worth taking the antibiotics and if I do is there any chance however remote that the infection could disappear permanently? I am not keen on taking antibiotics if they are not necessary and my dentist did seem rather ambivalent about them. Many thanks for your advice and kind regards.
,
A. The antibiotic will only help short term so it might not be worth taking them unless the symptoms worsen. I would consider proper treatment to the root in the long-term

My 8 year old son has a crooked tooth, what is the best course of action?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. My son is 8 has a crooked tooth growing behind his teeth as the gap is too small for it to grow aligned properly can this be straightened with surgery or would braces be better, he has a problem when you mess inside his mouth sometimes he gags and vomits what would be the best course of action,

Am I experiencing such intense pain because of impacted wisdom teeth?

September 2nd, 2010
Q. Good morning Dr. Moore, Years ago, I went to see an orthodontist who had told me there wouldn’t be space for my wisdom teeth to grow in and that I would need them removed. This has never happened and they have caused me considerable pain at random intervals since they came some-what in. Recently, I have been experiences a shooting, intense pain stemming from a spot in my skull behind my right ear. This pain is very intense and the right side of my neck bunches every time it happens– which since yesterday morning, has been every minute or so. Could the cause of this pain be my impacted wisdom teeth? I read on this site they can cause cysts or tumours.. Thank you,
,
A. I guess it is probably coming from the jaw joint in this area. either way i would ask your dentist to check things out for you
