Need to numb again for reshaped or filed down broken teeth

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi there. I had to have a tooth refilled yesterday as half of an old one came out whilst eating an apple. Everything went ok, but today above my teeth is very sore and the bridge of my mpouth is very sore, I presume this is because it’s the same place i was injected to numb the area?? I am a very nervous patient, and my main concern is that the replacement filling feels too big and is stopping my teeth come together properly. Is this something that will sort itself out, or will i need to get it ‘reshaped/filed down’? Also will i need to be numbed again for this to happen? thankyou

Gum swollen and numbness problems after Molar filled

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
I got my upper left Molar filled about two weeks ago it was a deep filling I was told almost to the nerve. Now I am having numbness on my left side tongue, all the outer parts of my cheek, and only half of my lips,and some of the outer skin surrounding my lips. This is all however on my left side only. My gum is a little swollen around the tooth but nothing very prominant. Will this go away or has there been trauma to the nerve? I have had it for about a week now. I also have Multiple Sclerosis and want to make sure it is not related to this since the pain came on a week later. Please help!! I do not have dental insurance so I don’t want waste a trip to the dentist if I don’t need to. This also has affected my taste of things.

Is there any alternatives for veneers for my darkened front tooth

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi i’ve got a darkened front tooth, that came out about 22 yrs ago, i pushed it back in myself, it has started darkening over a period of some yrs and is now looking bad especially in photographs where it shows up very bad i don’t like smilling for photos anymore. My last visit to my dentist told me that it was a lack of oxygen getting to the tooth that is the problem but he would not take it out or crown it as it was still healthy otherwise. i would love to get it capped or have a veneer over it but how can i go about getting it done, privately would seem the answer but the cost is off putting, are there any other alternatives to this ? how can i persuade my dentist to do the work for me ? any advice would be good

Should my jaw hurt after having amalgam fillings

Friday, September 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had two amalgam fillings yesterday morning, one in an upper left molar and the other in a lower left molar. The top filling was fine but the lower tooth was agony when the dentist drilled and I had to be given a further two injections to make it bearable. Where I had those injections is still very sore and my jaw muscle hurts too much for me to open my mouth wide enough to eat or talk loudly. Should my jaw still hurt this much and why didnt the anaesthetic work? I still have another filling to go but am now too scared to go back.

What can be done to correctly fit an irreplaced crown?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown on a back molar which did not fit correctly and is in the process of being replaced. I have a dull ache in the tooth area to the rear of the tooth. It is not the throbbing of a regular root canal type pain. An endodontist could not see damage to the nerve or root other than the poorly fitting crown which is now gone and a temporary in place. I am getting intermittent pain but am concerned about getting a root canal as a previou s root canal on a bottom molar left permanent nerve damage. What do you suggest?

A.
The fact that an endodontist c… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it normal to accumulate a sticky substance around a new resin filled teeth?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I recently chipped one of my front teeth, and yesterday had it filled in (I think with a resin). Since then, I’ve noticed a sticky gunge collecting around it-similar to saliva, but thicker and sticky. Is this normal due to how recently the filling was put in, or do I need to go back to my dentist.

A.
If it doesn’t resolve in few w… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
