Can I get decaying molars crowned?

Monday, January 25th, 2010
Q. hi guys, i am terrified of the dentist! which is never a good thing, due to this every time i go to the dentist i get a tooth pulled!!!!!! i have two molars which have started to decay, and i have holes in them, but i cannot have them pulled out as it will be obvious! could i get them crowned? money isnt an object but i cannot loose these teeth! it is my fault but im so scared! thanks xx,
A. Yes it is normally possible to crown the teeth, perhaps with root canal as well. If they aren’t savable then you could consider implants to fill the gap. The treatment could be provided under sedation to help you with your anxietyRegards  Andrew

I have had a canine missing what can I do If my incisors moves into the gap?

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q. Hi, I have had a canine missing for at least about 7-8 years, would my lateral incisors move into the gap? As I have noticed that my 1st premolar has begun to do so. What can I do if it (incisor) moves into the gap and how much could it cost in total to resolve this?

A. There are many ways and costs to solve this. the most common solution would be to replace the missing tooth. The replacement would act as a space maintainer. At the lower end of costs a simple NHS acrylic denture costs £198 or is free if you are exempt from charges. At the upper end a dental implant and crown guide price would be £2000 – 3000. correction of existing movement may add to costs.Hope this helpsRobIf you would like a more specific answer contact 0121 643 0610 for a free initial consultation.

How long can teeth sustain without supporting dental bridge?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q. Hello I recently had a bridge removed containing 2 molars and 1 pre molar it was a 3 bridge how long could I go without any teeth missing the teeth numbers are 17-19 I will eventually will recieve implants when I can afford it

A. The stability of your teeth and jawbone varys from person to person. It is best that the dentist responsible for the implants gets to review the stability from time to time. Interest free schemes are available in some practices.For details of  dental implant payments schemes that are interest free call Amy on 0121 643 0610.Rob

Should I worry of sealant kind stuff on my molar?

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Q. I have this bottom molar that has this white stuff in the pit and fissure on the chewing surface. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss, and use mouth wash. What could this be. Can tartar form there. It does not bother me. it is only on this molar. I have never gotten sealants that i know of. Should I be worried? Thanks!

A. Don’t be worried it might be sealant or just the apperance of the enamel. Ask your dentist to check it out.

What is the cause for my uneven teeth growth?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Q. Hi, my teeth are quite small for my age. i’m 16 and only noticed this 1 year ago after an orthodontist pointed it out to me. My molars are maybe 2-3mm out of my gums and my other teeth are less than an inch out of my gums. is this strange or common, furthermore, my to front teeth overlapped as i grew up. is this related?

A. Size of teeth and crowding/spacing are related.  The size of your teeth oftens relates to your general body size.

Do the baby molar teeth need to be extracted?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q. My daughter is 19 and has 2 pre-molar (baby teeth) still in place. There are no second teeth to replace them. Her own dentist suggests extracting these 2 teeth as she says they are growing into the gum. Do they need to be extracted or do you think they should stay. If they have to go what will she get to replace the wide gaps. thanks

A. Hi many thanks for your email, the problem is if there remain in the mouth there will continue to grow into the gum and be functionally unless, the alternative is to remove the teeth and replace the gap with fixed teeth via dental implants which should hopefully last a very long time.

I had crown fitted and I m unhappy with appearance of the tooth Plz advice

Thursday, October 15th, 2009
Q. I have recently had a crown fitted to repair a lower molar tooth. I asked for a ceramic crown. The front of the tooth looks good but the back of the tooth appears very black along the lower edge. I had the crown fitted two weeks ago. I am unhappy with the appearance of the tooth. I £400 for the crown. Is this usual? Many thanks.

A. Hi

Thanks for your message, if you are unhappy with the treatment you have received, I would always recommend that you return to the dentist who has carried out the treatment to inform them. I am sure that if you explain your concerns, the dentist will be able to either advise you of why this is and reassure you, or make arrangements for the crown to be replaced. It is possible that the crown you have had fitted may be metal based for strength. However without seeing it, it is ipossible to say for sure. I hope that this will be of some assistance to you.

Regards

The base of the cavity is bit dark after having molar tooth removed Is its normal?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Q. Hi, I’ve had a molar tooth removed recently after it fractured from eating food. I took some photos with my camera to see if it was healing well and i noticed that at the base of the cavity it looked quite dark, almost silvery like my other fillings. Is it normal to be this colour?, could the dentist have just left the lower part of my tooth etc in my jaw? Can i send the photo to get your judgement? Thanks

A. If you come to the StJohns Dental Practice in Birmingham I will look for free. Call Amy for details 01216430610 Rob

Can my wisdom tooth make my bottom teeth crook?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Q. Hi there i have a question for you i have a impacted wisdom tooth its my lower right side my dentist told me i could take it out whenever i want and its not a big deal, well my question is can that wisdom tooth cause my second molar to start raising up and make a couple of my bottom teeth crooked? because that is happening but like i said he said it wasnt a big deal!? can you please help me? thanks

A. Hi 

It is very unlikely for the wisdom tooth to cause the crowding, but an examination would be required.

If you are getting repeated infections or it is causing damge to you adjacent tooth then it may require removal. Your dentist would discuss all your options.

Could you plz give some details for resin composite crown?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Q. Hi, Dr. Glaister: Dentist said I had a vertical crack in my lower left molar (tooth number 18) in the back of the tooth. It doesn’t hurt although sometimes I feel sensitivity when I chew. He said I should have a crown. I heard the cheapest crown is a resin composite. What is the life expectancy of that kind of crown and can it be done quickly in one visit? Is it different than a metal or porcelain crown inthat they don’t have to grind your teeth?

A. You have to reduce the tooth surface for every type of crown. I recommend you visit your dentit to see what he can offer you in terms of materials and costs.

Kind regards

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Q. I’ve recently had a wisdom tooth and molar next to it extracted. I am eager to proceed with treatment to replace a number of crowns/veneers and would like to know how long I should wait until I can have an impression done to get this work done. The extractions were difficult and I had to take two courses of penicillin but the site appears to be healing well? Thank you 

A. Difficult to generalise in this instance but I would not expect problems after a couple of weeks
