Hello Dr Moore. I have had a composite filling along and below the gum line of my bottom back molar as the gum has receded. Since having had this done I’ve suffered with high sensitivity so now can’t even use mouthwash as it is hyper-sensitive. Is this normal with this type of treatment? I’m worried about brushing it as it’s already fallen out four times and every time I go back, the dentist is having to grind a bit more of my tooth in order for the filling to stick. I’d really like some help with this. Thank you for your time.
Hello Doctor Marcus,
I have a front tooth (second left) which is chipped (approx 30% of tooth), I have had a composite filling done in the past but it keeps falling out. I would prefer a more reliable and durable fix, but I do not want to have a crown just yet. Is a porcelain filling a possible option. I’d also like to know the cost as well please? Also I’m thinking about teeth whitening. Thank you, really look forward to hearing your advice.
Hi there
i have nice teeth all round but i have a problem with my two front teeth, as i teen i may have chipped them and i have noticed that the “chip” is getting bigger. The chip is in the middle of my two front teeth.
i was wondering if it is possible to file them to make them appear rounded? My two front teeth are large anyway so i do feel that this is possible? Would they both have to be altered? I don’t know how to go about getting this done. please get back to me asap….
Thanks
Hi,
Several months ago I had an amalgam filling replaced with a nice new composite one. I noticed that several weeks after the filling was replaced I began to get quite moderate sensitivity with that particular tooth, and was advised to massage the area with a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. This provided only minimal relief, so I stopped using it, as I thought it may actually be making thingss worse. I am interested in the enlighten tooth whitening system, however Im pretty scared that I may get some difficulties with that one particular tooth, and be in a lot of pain should I go ahead, What should I expect in terms of the sensitivity aspect of this system. Im really interested in going ahead with it, but not if Im likley to be in a lot of pain. Could you advise please.
Kind regards
Hello, I have a gap in my two top front teeth, the rest of my teeth are in line and healthy, as I have had braces before. But after the braces came out they put in a permanent wire behind the two top teeth to stop the gap re appearing, but it still came back. So i was wondering would there be a cosmetic solution that would just make that disappear? like make it look like its just my teeth?
thank you for any advice you could give me, also if you could say how much something like that might cost?
