I have particles getting stuck between two crowns, what can be done?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr, I had two crowns put next to eachother on the lower jaw at the far back a year ago.While I was waiting with temporary ones they came out a few times and so I had to have them re-done and on the last occasion there were a couple of days with nothing on them. Ever since I always get meat trapped between the two crowns which can only be removed by flossing. This is awkward if I am out and so I have to have a vegetarian option or be careful to chew on one side only as it often feels uncomfortable with the meat stuck. My dentist says that nothing can be done and that he has the same problem. Is this correct? The original tooth was badly broken.

After root canal tooth has broken partially can it be fixed?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Rob, Over a year ago I received a root canal on an upper molar while I was in the US, but recently a quarter of the tooth has broken. I was wondering how much it would cost to fix the tooth? Thank you in advance.

Can bonding cover up visible silver caps?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
My 5 year old daughter had to get 2 silver caps on her lower back teeth they are visible and she is very upset. The kids are starting to tease her at school and they are the only option for treatment. I was wondering if Bonding would stick to the tooth to cover the silver. Looking forward to your response.

Would there be any problem in fixing refitted crown which is sticking out?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I hope you can help me, i have recently had acrown and a veneer fitted on my two front teeth, my crown came out after only a week. my dentist has put it back in with a stronger cement however has pushed it froward when putting it in. now it sticks out further than my other teeth. my dentist has said she can take it out but will have to numb it and there is the chance the root might crack or the crown. do you have any advise on what to do. Thanks

Need to know positive and negative of root canal treatment.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have been diagnosed with a cracked LL7 tooth, and have had a crown put on to stabilise it. We can’t tell if the crack has affected the root or pulp. 4 weeks on after the crown was fitted, I am still suffering grinding, aggressive pain all day in the tooth (though I can get some sleep at night). It’s more acute with hot and cold and sweet foods. I can just about use the tooth, but not to eat anything hard or crunchy, as this is uncomfortable too (though the crown has helped to make it less painful). I am taking painkillers every few hours and am not coping with being in pain all day. My dentist says it can take a few months for nerve pain to diminish after it’s been stirred up, but I can’t stand this kind of pain for much longer. It’s interfering with my quality of life. Would it be best to ask for a root canal to be performed on this tooth so that the pain situation is resolved? Presumably if this is done the tooth cannot hurt anymore? Does having root canal cause any longterm problems for a tooth?

I feel I am stuck with unprogressive dental treatment.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi. I have recently broken some enamel from the back of one of my front lower teeth. I have now visited mt dentist 5 times and am back to square one. First he did a filling on the back, and the day after I had to go back as there was a very sharp edge. 1 week later im back again as it had come off. I saw a different dentist at the practice as my own was busy, who replaced the filling . 2 days later, it came away yet again. I then go back for the 4th time and the dentist decided to put a sealant on the tooth to stop the sensitivity as obviously a filling it was not working. A couple of days later, this too came off. Back I go for the 5th time. Now, the dentist did explain that these were awkward to do at the very begining, but im now back to the start postion again, with the dentist saying there is nothing more he can do, so just smoothed it down as best he could. But it still drives me crazy as my tongue keeps catching it and there is some slight sensitivity. And of course ive wasted £65. The dentists are all English, and it is an NHS dentist. And they are all extremely nice people too !!! Should I try a private dentist ? Or am i stuck with it forever ? help !
