Q. Hello, my dentist done a cap on my tooth a year ago, but it was the wrong size, it has recently started to smell and cause me some discomfort. When he put the cap in the dentist filed the tooth below, is this good practice? Also he didn’t remove the nerve in the remaing part of the tooth, sould he have? I have now been informed by my dentist that it needs to be replaced (me footing the bill!). I am about to book my appointment, and am concerned about the dentists experience, he said that he will cut the cap, that’s already on my tooth, into four, for removal. Does this sound right, because I am very concerned about the remaining part of tooth underneath. Thank you
A. It’s best to cut the crown into pieces before removing it as this protects the tooth underneath You would normally only reomve the nerve if the tooth causes pain or an infection is present

Q. Doctor, my 26 year old daughter has a couple of wisdom teeth growing out crooked, but there is no problem yet, except slight soreness every few months. My questions are: 1) Would you advise these to be removed at the earliest, or to wait and see if they actually give more trouble? 2) Should all wisdom teeth be removed in any case, whether they give much trouble or not? Thank you for your help.
A. Hi
The current guidelines sugggest that they should only be removed if there are repeated episodes of infection.
I would advise to see a dentist every 6 months for regular check ups. This will also enable the dentist to keep an eye on the situation.

Q. Dr im 20yrs old n im under treatment from an orthodontist in pakistan since 1yr,i hav upper mildine shift about 1.5mm but it is almost corrected n the dentist says my treatment is almost complete,my upper maxillary right canine was impacted n it was extracted by an inexperienced dentist when i was a child-n that was the cause of the midline shift and lead to class 2 malocclusion on one side and class 3 maloclussion on the other,my problem is that although my midline is correct there is still a space where the canine should hav been i feel that my teeth r gona shift back once the treatment is off,i am being treated with cross elastics in which the 1st runs from my 26 to 33, the 2nd from 23 to 43 and the 3rd from 13 to 46,plz suggest what should be done in this case and whether this treatment would become useless after sometime?,and whether my dentist is doing the right job?as im in 3rd yr of dentistry myself n im very worried about my teeth.thanku
A.
why dont you consider a single wingcantilever maryland bridge to replace the canine and maintain the space or a dental implant once the space has been created by completion of the orthodontics.
you can know how much space is needed by measuring the canine width on the other side and asking the orthodontist to leave appropriate space

Q. I live in the United States. I want to change dentists, after having a temporary crown affixed to my front tooth, and the one beside it. The dentist did several x-rays, filed both teeth down, casted a mold, and affixed a temporary to both teeth. Assuming the permanent set of teeth has NOT been ordered, and will NOT be by this dentist, 1) what is the general cost for this TEMPORARY crown placed over BOTH teeth (the temporary crown is in one unit, but placed over both, filed teeth)? Please do not include the costs involved with the permanent two crowns, and the final fitting of those two, regular plastic-type crowns. However, I do want the mold already casted. 2) Can you also tell me if it is possible to take this mold with me to the new dentist? If not, 3) why and, 4) how much does the mold itself cost? [That’s a total of three (3), possibly four (4) questions – hope that’s ok. I have numbered each question, for ease of reading.]
A. I’m sorry but I have no knowledge of the cost of dentistry in the US, we are a UK based website

Q. Hi, A few days ago while I was eating I suddenly bit down on a piece of bone with my front teeth. Since then the left front tooth has become extremely sensitive. I think it is cracked but not exactly sure as I can’t see any crack but can feel a slight uneveness at the tip. It is so painful that I find it difficult talking as the cold air makes it hurt. Any ideas as to how to stop this? Please help!
A. Thanks for your question, I would recommend that you attend your dental practice at your earliset convenience, so that they can assess the damage to the tooth. If it is just sensitivity, using toothpaste specifically designed for sensitivity can help.
Kind regards

A. It is normal for the canines to do this, my son looks the same! Wait for another 2 years or so and see how they develope as the teeth erupt and the child grows.

Q. I’ve just had a filling – there was decay under an existing filling (spotted via X-Ray) and some of the original filling had to be removed to remove the decay underneath and then place new filling on top. It has been 18 hours since the filling and I am still very sore. Is this normal? It’s 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep because of the pain/soreness. I could not brush over the recently filled area before going to bed either as it felt very sore/sensitive. I have had fillings before and cannot remember the pain post-filling lasting this long. Thank you
A. Thanks for your questions, I am sorry to hear that you are suffering. I would advise that you return to your dentist at your earliest convenience to have the filling checked, as it is keeping you awake. It is possible that the filling may just need some slight adjustments, but I would encourage you to have it checked.
Kind regards

Q. Hello, I have a front tooth that is rotting, it has turned black and does not look nice, I know I need the dentist but I have not had any good experiences with the dentist hence why I’ve put it off for so long, I know I have to go sooner rather than later but I’m worried about what they will do with the tooth in question, will they take it out or can they repair it?
A.
You need the check up before you can get down to details. The good thing is that you dont have to have anything done at the first visit , just decide on some likely options.

Q. At the age of 15 I had four teeth removed and was given a temporary brace to move my teeth, then a fixed brace on my lower teeth for 9 months and one on my top teeth for only 2 months. My teeth were never completely straight at the time I had the brace removed and I stated my worries to the orthodontist. He ignored my request to keep the braces on longer. When removing the braces he cut my gums severely and did not polish them afterwards. I was given a retainer to wear and was never invited to a check up. I have expressed my concerns to my NHS dentist as I have marks on my teeth from the braces and my top teeth sit slightly behind my two front teeth. I am 18 now and a student I would really like the perfect smile I thought I was getting. Is there any way I can be referred to get the treatment I should have got at the younger age? Thank you for your time.
A. You are limited as the NHS will not treat you for mior discrepencies

Q. My top four front teeth have been on a denture for over 20 years. During that time my gums have receded quite a lot. Both teeth on either side of the four now look silly as the teeth themselves look very long as the gums have receded so much. I have quite a wide smile/laugh but over the years I have tried to limit this as I am very aware of how noticeable the ‘long’ teeth are. Have you any ideas??
A. You probably need a new denture with the teeth correctly placed and the correct amount of gum

Q. Are there any risks in getting wisdow teeth pulled from only one side of the mouth? Like loss of equalibrium or anything ? And would deep rooted nerves in wisdom teeth cause tinnitus ?
A. You need to ask the dentist doing the surgery as there a a number of common risks and some uncommon ones. ther are some evidence based guidlines from NICE ( Nat institute of clinical excellence) on when its a good idea and when its not.
