Q. 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.

Q. Hello Dr Moore Last Friday i when to see my dentist for what thought was the last appointment as in this appt the crown was to be fitted.The dentist found the crown was too long from was requested and spoke to the tech. who re-aasured that he had made as per instruction.Then the dentist thought the teeth had moved but i had temp.crown and i am healthy non-osteoporotic patient.then the crown was fitted with additional filler and now my teeth are not alignment and the inplant grinds with lower jaw teeth.i phoned the dentist who suggested i visit her again but i an very uncomfortable about going back as i have lost all confidence her abilities as she may do more damage and i need to resolve the poor fitting crown.Ihave had an inplant previously from another dentist with no such complications.Please could you advise me on what action should takeie should i return even though i feel she may do more harm and should i see another dentist?i look forward to your advice
A. Go back as she is the best person to sort this problem out another dentist may not understand the situation you can always change when the problem is sorted out

Q. i am 19 both of my canines are impacted, now the canine on my left is lose and will likely fall out in the next month or so, once it falls out how long do you think it will take to grow back this is so embarrassing for me i am pregnant as well and i am going to feel so ugly!! and also once it falls out it there any way i can put a temp. tooth there?
A. hi many thanks for your email, i no this is not good news but once the baby tooth does fall out it is not automatic that the impacted canine will come out, very possibly it is more likely that the canine will not come out. my advice will be to see your dentist and discuss your options before you lose the tooth.

Q. I went to a local dentist and ask about my options for my two front teeth that are SLIGHTLY worn away on the bottom. he said he would do crowns. I said NO. BECAUSE I didn’t want so much of my teeth to be taken away. He said he would do veneers. I left the office devistated because he took my two front teeth down to miniature chicklets. He put on temps that are joined together in the center and are very tough.
I am sick over this.He is charging more for veneers than crowns. He has now choice to me but to do crowns. What can I do. I called the office and left a message to call me immediately on Monday. What is my recourse?
A. Ideally you should have discussed this before any treatment was done, sometimes cosmetic bonding can repair chipped teeth in a minimal way. If the teeth are now prepared veneers are the better option. Please talk to your dentist.

Q. HI, I have a gap in my two front teeth and want to close it. I have been to the dentist who advises invisalign or veeners. I didnt want the veeners I dont want to have my teeth enamel removed and invisalign is quite expensive and I am not sure whether I want to go through that. I then came accross lumineers and got very excited as I thought thats for me!!No invasive procedure great. What do you think to them do they look nice and are they safe.Are they really reversable.Or would you just go for direct bonding I have some already now that needs redoing could it just be touched up and not have to be drilled off.
A. Lumineers a brand name for veneers. They are marketed as non prep veneers but can often require some tooth shaping. Once they are bonded on they do need to be drilled off if they require replacement. If you have gaps betwen your teeth yo may requre “proper” veneers to prevent the 2 front teeth from looking too wide.

Q. Two years ago I went to the dentist for my regular scaling and check up. My dentist told me I had a cavity and thus would need a filling. I got my scaling and my filling done that day. He then told me to come back if I feel discomfort in my just-filled tooth (which I thought was weird because fillings aren’t associated with post-procedure pain). My tooth did hurt a bit, but I thought I’d survive, so I didn’t go back to my dentist for about a year and a half. Now (it’s been 2 years since I got the filling) I find myself getting a root canal. Can I please know exactly why my tooth got so sensitive, when, before the filling and discovery of the cavity, my tooth was absolutely fine (feeling wise). I feel as if the dentist I got my filling from did something wrong. That tooth was sensitive to hot and cold things from time to time, but I could survive. Was is a good choice to have got a root canal anyway? I am regretting having done this, and now I’m wondering if I really needed it. Thank you, Jessica
A. Teeth that have decay in them can often be symptom free. That is why dentists take Xrays to confirm that there is no hidden decay. When the decay is removed it can sometimes be close to the nerve of the tooth. When a filling is placed in this situation the nerve inside the tooth can still die and give you pain. It does not sound as though your dentist has done anything but the correct treatment for you and it is unfortunate tha the decay and bacteria had infected the nerve of your tooth

Q. Which drinks stain teeth the most?
A. Black tea, green tea, red wine and then coffee. Tea without milk is the biggest stainer. Soy sauce can also stain teeth.

Q. the tooth next to my upper front tooth has over the years pushed right forward. My dentist says that if the tooth was taken out then the gap would be to narrow and any replacement would not look natural. is there a treatment to cure my problem. Thanks
