Q. Hi, i’m 18 and i had braces for 2 years when i was 13. since then i havent had any trouble until recently when my lateral incisor has felt slightly loose. this was one of the teeth which moved the most during my orthodontic treatment. in the past few weeks it has felt slightly painful in what im assuming is the root. i have noticed it has moving so i’ve had to wear my retainers every night nd they feel tight around this tooth whenever i put them in. is this normal? i have also read that these sort of symptoms can be related to sinus problems, is this likey? i did mention that my tooth felt loose to my dentist but he said it was about 0.5 on the scale of looseness and not to worry, did he miss something? generally my teeth are healthy and i have not noticed any abcesses.
A. a radiograph to exclude resorption might help. Rob

Q. Hi, our son has special needs (learning difficulties etc). We have seen the community dentist who wants to give him G.A and remove all his teeth that have cavities/ gone bad. We’ re not happy with this- we feel any tooth that can be filled should be!! We’re wondering if there’s a private dentist that would treat our son, and keep as many teeth as poss!! He’s waited 6 months already for an appt to have a bad tooth removed that we know has had an abcess on it!! Please help!!
A. hi many thanks for your email, the issue is how cooperative your son is while having dental treatment and what age he is. other options are sedation for treatment but he does need to be a minimum age of 16. hope this is helpful. i would be happy to assess your son and give you some more options that are available in the private sector.

Q. i had a fronr tooth capped due to absess some years ago i came out some time ago and a dentist said that the rest of the tooth has to come out i agree with this but i am terrified of dental work i want to have either an implant or a bridge inserted but the gum where this tooth was has receeded [where they cut my gum to remove the absess]please advise me of the best option i am 65 and suffer with copd
A.
Usually I would recommend an implant because the research shows that they last the longest. However you would need to be assessed for bone volume for the implant and have the aesthetics carefully assessed

Q. Hi, I have just found out that my top right rear molar, is dying as a result of a deep filling, which is now beging to rest on the nerve of the tooth. The dentist has shown me the x-ray and said that as the root is so bent and not easily identifiable, he does not believe a root canal would be sucsessful. I have also had a bad expererience of root canal’s, where within months I had absess, and lost the tooth anyway. My dentist has said that my only option really is therefore too losse the tooth. My concern with this is that due to braces and overcrowding I had already had all my wisdom teeth removed and to loose this back tooth, I run the risk of my jaw bone disolving, there is already evidence of this on the x-ray following the wisdom extraction 3 years ago. I asked if there was any other options and he told me I would need splints and a crown which would cost about £2000. I am only 31 and worry that if I don’t make the right choice now it will be too late, I can’t afford £2000 for a tooth, but as it stands a booked for an extraction the week before xmas??!! Reading some of your other responses to questions indicate the crown can be placed over the tooth, can this not always be done? Any advise would be great. Thanks
A. hi many thanks for your enquiry, my advice would be to ask to be referred to an endodontist for a second opinion. THere are many teeth which general dentists just do not have the skill to treat. however an endodontist is highly experianced at root canal treatment and can give you an idea of whether they feel it can be treated and level of sucess. once the root canal treatment is done it is then best to crown the tooth.
hope this is helpful.

Q. My front tooth has been having alot of pain and just the other day my tooth has been feelin lose, i went to a dentist and he said that i need a root canal? is that the reason why my tooth has been feelin lose because i need a root canal ? Also i have had a root canal on the other side of the same tooth (left side), now i need one on my right side!
A. The abscess underneath your tooth can loosen your tooth due to swelling around the tooth. Following root treatment this should disappear and the tooth firm up

Q. following treatment for a recurring abscess my dentist has told me i’ve got a fractured root canal. He has taken impressions of my teeth. As a nervous patient what can i expect to happen next?
A. hi many thanks for your email, if the root canal treated tooth has fractured then the next stage of treatment will be to extract the fractured tooth. hope this is helpful.

Q. I have a crown that has totally come away from the gum including the post. i was told I had an abcess but that has proved to be incorrect. I was also told I have piro disease, I am unsure as to whether or not this is true. My dentist is suggesting a denture but I believe my teeth are healthy enough to sustain bridging work. What should I do?
A. hi many thanks for your email, if you are unsure what is being said is true, then my advice would be to have a consultation with another dentist to gain a second opinion. hope this is helpful.

Q. hi Dr Caplan 24 years ago i had 4 crowns fitted, my teeth were uneven before the crowns so the dentist inserted metal posts into my gums the new crowns were fab since then i have had a root canal filling due to reacurring abscess which took several hours 3 years ago one of the metal posts dropped out the dentist did some alterations to the crown and put the post in place he told me it could last one week one month or maybe years depending on how i looked after it and he would not be able to do any further repairs and my options would be a inplant or a denture the post has dropped out again it is next to sound tooth and a crown ,what are my options i cannot afford a inplant and do not want a plate thank you
A. Your only othe roption will be to have a bridge to replace the failing crown/crowns

Q. can i travel-fly if i have a abscess in my mouth
A. Hi many thanks for your email, it is unwise to fly if you have a dental abcess, i would try to get this treated before you fly the pain is said to be severe if you fly with an infected tooth.

Q. hi i have some very bad broken off teeth and their decaying. i have had an abcess for three days now but i went to the dr and got penicillin i plan to have the tooth removed in a week or so. but my question is this the pain in my tooth has been pretty bad i started takeing the meds yesterday the penicillin and they gave me hydrocodone 5/500 the pain has eased off but today when i woke up i noticed that a part of chin has a numb sensation about it i can feel when i touch it but it just dont feel right what could be causeing this? its got me really worried thanks.
A.
The cause of your numbness is compression of the nerves in that part of your face due to an abscess on your tooth. Once this swelling has gone your sensations should return to normal. Please try and have your teeth treated. If you are very nervous sedation is a good option to help you cope. We certainly offer this service at Aviva Cosmetic Dentistry

Q. Hi, I have had an reacurring abcess under one of my teeth for quite some time now (approx 3-4 years) when i say reacurring its proberbly never healed fully, when its ok the dentist says its very very small. the molar is in my lower right hand side jaw (T6 or number 19 I think) I have had two root canals done to the tooth one at first signs of symptoms and another 1-2 years ago, the tooth has a gold inlay on top of a special epoxy resin material as over two thirds of the visible tooth has been destroyed. Two weeks ago I went on holiday and the abcess flared up again for reasons unknown, I could not get medial treatment for around 5 days, as you can imagine it was quite painfull. After getting treatment (clyndamycin and nimesulide) the abcess subsided. Upon returning to the uk and seeing my dentist he has given me amoxycillin and a codine/nsaid treatment and said I “may” have a cracked or fractured root causing the abcess to not heal fully, and he suggested that removing the tooth is the best soloution. Now I do not want to get the tooth removed but the dentist says I have a quarter of an inch of material under the root and if the abcess gets down to that depth (the main nerve I think) in future it could cause more problems. Plus he has said the germs in the abcess might get resistant to the antibiotics. I know I could have done more to aid the tooth in healing and I try but wen the pain is gone i soon go back to my old habits (smoking/drinking) and I am a VERY bad tooth grinder at night (well my girlfriend tells me anyway) I am thinking that my bad habits have caused my abcess not to heal as much as anything? I there any alternatives I can try maybe an antibiotic targeted specifically at the germs in my abcess as I understand amoxycillin is a broad-spectrum drug and as such might not have enough punch to knock out a germ that might be getting resistant to it? the only alternatives I have are a dental bridge which would sacrifice a healthy tooth (the other one is filled) or a dental implant which would be two thousand pound according to my dentist. Thanks for reading my long winded question
A. It does sound like you have done all you can do for the tooth and may need to have the tooth removed I’m afraid
Maybe wait for 6-12 months before considering replacement

Q. Dear Dr Moore 6 months ago I had root canal work on my tooth, having been told that there was some decay and I would lose the tooth if I did not have it. It was a terrible ordeal for me as I am a very nervous patient anyway and the dentist clamped my face to my jaw with a metal clamp which I found unacceptable and was unable to tolerate. It took 3 hours and cost over £600. A few days ago I started to have an unremitting pain in my mouth, gums and cheek which seem to be encompassing the area where I had the root canal work. I fear from all the information I have been able to glean that I have an abscess and may have to lose the tooth. I have been to see my GP who doesn’t know what is causing the pain but has given me antibiotics and told me to see my dentist for ex-rays. I have an appointment on Tuesday but don’t see any point in having the ex-rays until the antibiotics have cleared up the infection. I will not go back to the dentist who did the root canal treatment (a specialist in root canal work and not my usual dentist) as I am absolutely terrified of him. The way he pulled and clamped my face showed complete inconsideration for a woman’s feelings and when I finally emerged from the dentist after 3 hours I was inconsolable from the ordeal that I had tolerated. If I do lose my tooth I will definitely want to have an implant. I am now on my 3rd day of taking antibiotics and as of yet the pain I am suffering is just as bad as on day one so I am not sure if they are working or not. Please would you kindly advise me of my options regarding treatment and what you see as the likely outcome. Kind regards,
A. Hello, it does sound like an abscess which if the antibiotics haven’t helped, may mean you will lose the tooth. It might be best to remove the molar then consider an implant or bridge once the tissues have healed and the infection has cleared.

Q. Hello, i would like to ask about how i can get 2 root canals done on the NHS my previous dentist didnt do anything.

I am a single mother of two children so where can i get these two teeth root canaled as i cannot afford the private fees and i would not be accepted for any loan, i am only 21 and the teeth are in my smile line so i wouldnt want to lose these teeth. Any advise much appreciated.
A. If teeth require root canal treatment the NHS must treat you.
