Can I Get A New Gold Onlay To Replace My Composite One?

Monday, April 8th, 2013
Q.

Hi, i have a composite inlay on the lower back molar, it got slightly chipped recently from having a wisdom tooth extracted which was next to it. I now want a gold onlay and have the old composite inlay taken out and the decay cleaned from underneath it. My question is how many carats of gold would be best suited to a back molar inlay and do the nhs do this under their treatment? (would 22 carats be good?) Also is it a good idea for me to request them not to add nickel, beryllium and cobalt (base metals) as these are commonly allergic metals and I am generally sensitive to lots of things. Thank you.

Is My Toothpaste Causing My Gums To Become Loose And Fall Apart?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello I bought a new brand of toothpaste and ever since using it,  after brushing my teeth i find that there is a thin layer of loose gum inside my mouth that comes off in chunks. I don’t know if the toothpaste has caused this problem or not but it is the only difference that has occurred in my dental routine. I find this irritating embarrassing and inconvenient as when I am at work I have to keep spitting out the loose fragments that I am finding during the day and sometimes it sticks to the corners of my mouth.

I just wandered if you had any ideas as to what this could be and what is causing it?

Kind regards

Could I be allergic to my crown?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

I had a crown placed on a back molar on July 5th, 2011. I was told it was a ceramic crown, with glass Ionimic cement with something called Metho Metholonate in the glue or cement. I have experienced hives in the warmest places of my body, every night, during sleep. I wake up at 5 am covered with large itchy welts that are even on my face and head. I was told there was no metal in the ceramic cap placed on my tooth. I was given a shot in the tooth area, and was awake during the process. Is it possible that I am still allergic to some of this anesthetic, or that there is some kind of alloy in the ceramic that is triggering these hives. I am at wit’s end. I haven’t got a food allergy, nor clothes soap etc. All have been tried and I still have these. Can you shed some light on the possible cause of these hives? I am taking two 25 mg. tablets of Hydroxyzine Hcl per night, and still experience the hives. Thanks you for your kind consideration.

I had a very bad reaction to implants and have been told that I may have to wear dentures, what are my options?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr. Glaister
I had an implant of one of my front teeth because one of the posts from my front bridge decayed and actually worked its way out through the back of my bridge which was following 2 years of trying to treat this by my dentist with cleaning, etc. I subsequently had the bridge removed (only 2 of the teeth, one tooth was left from the bridge) and had the root of the decayed tooth extracted. I was then given three options, one being an implant with an abutment, a bridge filing down a 4th tooth or a denture. I opted for the implant, as I thought this was the best option at the beginning of October 2009. I had to have a bone graft as the dentist commented after performing the implant that my bone wasn’t particularly good. I have had my third check up today and have been told that it doesn’t appear to have taken and although I have another check up at the beginning of February, it is likely that I will have to have it removed. I had a very bad reaction when the implant was initially done, a very swollen face and couldn’t face it again. I asked what would happen and was told by the dentist that I could redo the implant(!!) or resign myself to dentures! I am not very pleased about this, apart from parting with £1,000, as I was never advised that it might fail. If I had been told this, I might have chosen a different avenue. Could you advise me please?
