My tooth feels strange; sharp and it wiggles when I touch it. What should I do?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010
Q.
I am 20 yrs old. My dentist told me I do not have wisdom teeth and my 12 yr molar on my left side just started growing in. I noticed today that it feels strange, its very sharp and part of it moves if I wiggle it. I had a friend look at it and they said it looks deformed but not broken. Its the strangest thing.

Can I have single veneer to fis fractured tooth?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Dr. Tennet, I have a fractured upper central incisor that runs horizontal across the tooth and has not separated. I have seen two dentists so far and one wants to place a porcelain veneer on only that tooth while the other wants to put bonding on the fracture line if I cannot afford to have veneers on both central incisors. Is it advisable to put on a single veneer to just fix the fractured tooth? Thanks for your advice,
A.

I have been suggested dentures and implants do I have other options?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have recently suffered a fracture to my upper right canine which had a cantilever bridge attached with a pontic for the lateral incisor. I have the same arrangement on the left upper side and two veneers on my central incisors. This is because I never got my permanent lateral incisors. My dentist says the only option for me is a denture or implants. I really don’t want to go back to having a denture but I don’t think I can afford implants. Would it not be possible to have another type of bridge using my front incisor and the canine for support? As What other options could I have? thanks

This is a possibility but you … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will the gold crown fitted will stop the tooth to flex?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
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 … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
