Is it common for the gum to ache 6 months after teeth removal?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:47:56 +0000

Q. Iam 55 years old and had my upper back 2 molars removed I am also missing the biscupid on this side.. Although the gum has healed it is constantly dry and sometimes aches. Is this common the teeth were removed over 6 months ago.,

A. it can take several months for the extraction site to heal. This is not uncommon, however I am unsure as to why the area feels dry? This could be down to other factors- such as mediaction that minimises saliva production. If you have any issues and if the concern is really high, then I would recommend that you see your general dental practicioner to resolve these.

Can I get decaying molars crowned?

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:35:23 +0000

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?

admin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 05:22:13 +0000

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.

admin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:33:34 +0000

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?

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:59:15 +0000

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.

Could you advise on whether I will be able to straighten teeth after implants?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:34:32 +0000

Q. I have been advised that I a lower molar needs to be extracted and replaced with an implant. Can you please advise whether I would still be able to wear braces to straighten the rest of my teeth when I have this implant? I mainly need to straigthen the upper teeth but have been advised that the lower teeth also need to be straightened to correct my bite.

A. Hi many thanks for your email, as long as the orthodontist is consulted and is happy then there should not be a problem.
