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.

I have a fractured back tooth. My dentist finds that the nerve is not infected and I agree because it is not sensitive to hot and cold and if the tooth isn’t touched it feels okay. However, my concern is that the tooth is sensitive when under pressure and I presume this is because any pressure allows movement, however small, of the fracture. At the moment I have a temporary crown in place, awaiting a permanent fitting. Would it be expected that when the gold crown is fitted that will stop the ability of the tooth to flex. Can anything be done underneath the crown to gain stability? Many thanks.

A. When teeth have cracks we can never be deinite about whether the nerve has been affected.  Your dentist sounds as though he is doing the correct thing for you.  You may still need nerve treatment on the tooth if the tooth does not settle down

Hello i had root canal treatment not long back – i ate something hard and chewy and part of my tooth has come off – its very painful , there is still some tooth there will the pain go away ? and is there any way i could save the tooth

A. Back teeth following root treatment are usually crowned to prevent splitting of the tooth.  It is likely that the piece of tooth you have broken is still attached at the gum level and this is what is causing you pain.  If this is so the dentist should be able to remove the broken part of the tooth and to crown what is remaining

If a child breaks a front tooth in half horizontally and you have the piece can it be reattached? What should be done with the broken tooth piece to preserve it and how long do you have to get it to the dentist?

A. I would keep it clean and safe and see your dentist as soon as possible as it can often be bonded back together.

A. Thanks for your enquiry, at a lot of practices, it is possible to apply for finance to spread the cost of your treatment. At many practices this can even be interest free, as you have been resident in the United Kingdom for more than three years, you should be able to make an application. I would expect you to have to provide both a proof of address and a proof of signtaure but I foresee no problems in qualifying to make an application. I hope this helps. Many Thanks.

A. It may be that you have hit these these causing them to become lose. Otherwise it maybe that over time your teeth have moved and you have only just noticed.
Please book an appointment with a dentist.

A. Depending on how misaligned your teeth are it would be either Veneers or orthodontics.
Please see a cosmetic dentist or and orthodo

ntist who can assess your mouth for an acurate opinion.
