Monday, November 17th, 2008
Q.
Hi i have a decayed tooth in the top centre right of my mouth. very little of the tooth can be seen as it has came out from my jaw properly as it is fused to my jaw. it is a hereditary problem. my question is if this tooth causes no pain should it be removed and it would it be difficult to remove it? would a filling be the the only option as my dentist said a filling wouldnt be possible. please advise. thank you.

I am having four old crowns replaced at the front

Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Q.
I am having 4 old crowns replaced at the front ,the 4 upper incisors either side of two front teeth, (they where 23years old) .For the first time I was having pain in my lower and upper jaw . I believed it was because the temporaries where too tight ,so returned to dentist yesterday and he removed them and replaced with individual temporaries. At 4 o`oclock this morning I awoke with this throbbing pain returning to my lower jaw . I`m losing confidence in my dentist. To put on the new temporaries he took 1.5 hours. By which time the novocaine was wearing of and I was v.sensitive to the placing and removal of the crowns . He seemed to fit each one around 4 times ,off and on. This is not normal as I have had crowns fitted for the last 34 years,I have never suffered with temporaries before. What is going on?

I have been advised I am not suitable for Invisalign

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
Q.
I have been advised I am not suitable for Invisalign or the 6 month smile treatment to treat an overbite. I do not consider metal braces for 2.5 years as an option. Are there any other treatments such as Invisalign that can be looked into? Also would it be an idea to have another consultation with another Invisalign or Clearstep partition?

I think it is worth having ano… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had a serious car accident whilst on holiday in turkey and had jaw surgery

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello I had a serious car accident whilst on holiday in Turkey. In brief, I had jaw surgery and was wired for more than 4 weeks. The wires have been removed now. Its been like 6 weeks now since i had jaw surgery. I also had broken/chipped teeth because of the accident. My questions are: 1. How long should I wait to get my teeth sorted – to get veneers? 2. Should my travel insurance be responsible for my broken teeth as well? If yes, how do deal with insurance payments? Hope to hear from you soon

The teeth affected should be c… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have an overbite and have had braces

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hi I have an overbite and have had braces when I was younger. This was only on my top teeth and it was not fixed braces just a retainer. I did have teeth taken out at the time. Over the years I have been to a few dentists who have advised that I would need braces to fix the overbite. I recently visited and orthodontists at my local hospital and they advised that I would need fixed braces for about 18 months, they would then operate and move the bottom jaw which will mean staying in overnight. After that I would need a retainer full time for 3 months and then only at night. Overall the process seems to take about 3 years. I planned to get married next year and really don’t want to wearing braces on my wedding day. What I would like is a second opinion, is this the only option?

Unfortunately it is very diffi… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

i have pain in my right ear and also occasionally in my large molar

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
Q.
Im a 55 year old male suffering from pain in my right ear and also occasionally in my large molar bottom right teeth and sometimes my lower front teeth. Ive had it for over 2 months.My dentist says it is being caused by an impacted wisdom tooth and it should be removed.The consultant at the hospital where he referred me says it is extreemly unlikely to be a wisdom tooth causing the problem and believes it is a problem with the jaw joint.She recommends my dentist making a splint to wear at night to stop teeth grinding.The pain is gradually becoming more intermittent and tends to come back every 3 or 4 days. Who is right>?Is it the jaw joint or the wisdom tooth?

I have an upper denture and lost a lot of teeth I can not afford dental implants

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
Hello I have a partial upper denture and have lost a lot of teeth in the lower jaw. All the remaining teeth that are left were crowned approx 10 years ago. I cannot afford a lot of implants but am wondering if implanted retained dentures would be a possibility. I had a panoramic xray last year and that confirmed bone loss in the upper jaw. I am 53 years old and suffer from diabetes [insulin controlled]. I also take other medication, details of which can be provided if necessary. I would be most grateful for your opinion on what you would consider to be the best treatment for me.
