and deep cavities in subgingival caries what is the type sub base used in this case? thank you for your time 

had a root canal done wednesday. Had had a lot of pain b4 and a rather large lump which had started weeping pus b4 treatment. Worried that as i still have a small tender lump on the gum this treatment may be unsuccessful and the infection may not go. I am on antibiotics which finish in 4days time. What do you think ? this tooth had been playing me up for sometime but every-time i had an xray nothing ever showed up until the lump appeared. Thanks 

Hello Dr Rob Tennet. I have a question for you so I sincerely hope you have time to answer it for me. I have recently joined a new practice and they have told me i have had root treatment to 2 teeth, I am not aware of this and I’m sure I would have know.
Both the teeth in question have had there fillings redone, 1 because I asked for it to be redone as the filling was turning brown, and the other I can’t remember why as it was a long time ago. Will he be correct in saying that i have had root treatment carried out, if I hadn’t been informed. everytime I have had fillings they have all been the same nothing different has been done. He has taken x-rays.

I am dental phobic and I’m suffering from an abscess. In the past I have had sedation but I still couldn’t have the treatment as I was terrified. I am in so much pain and discomfort I really don’t know what to do. My mum would pay for me to have treatment but I need to be asleep. Any suggestions? I live in Taunton, Somerset.

Tooth 13 fractured and abscessed. One 1 1/2 weeks after pain began, ended up having to have tooth extracted. Been off antibotic 2 days. One week after extraction, maxilla bone is extremely sore and painful. Called oral surgeon’s office and his assitant not concerned. I lfelt abscess had ruptured into sinus as I had a dark drainage that cleared as I was on antiobotic. Assitant says root of tooth was no where near sinus and I could have sinus infection. I don’t think that’s the case. I’m concerned about the bone being so sore and painful; concerned about there being infection in the bone. There was no swelling on my gum from the abscess. The infection was up in the bone…and I believe my sinus. Should I press my dentist to take a look? Thanks.

Hi, I just paid £289 for Root canal, it was 6pm and he did it very quickly, I had a small abcess at root and now 4 days later their is still a bump and it feels sore and still like an abcess when I press on it, I have had it 4 years and I think its making me run down. I have never had anti biotics, what should I do? I do not want to lose the tooth as its my front one and I need a dental bridge from it.

I have had a lump just under my nose but in the gum line since june 2010. My dentist thought it was an abscess when she exrayed it nd gave me antibiotics and drilled a whole through my crown so the absess could drain. It did g down but never went completely. Now it is back and even bigger. I am worried it might not be a absess. Should she now not refer me to hospital. ?

Hi
i have been getting a lot of pain in the root area of my front upper bridge, my dentist informs me that i may have an abscess in one of the supporting teeth of the bridge. The tooth next to it is not very substantial and so i would have to have a bridge covering 5 teeth in total, centered on the two front teeth. Is this possible and what cost should i expect.
