Q. Good afternoon,I have just visited a dentist who says that I need root canal surgery,and prescribed antibiotics because of an abcess.I had an upper bridge 10 teeth fitted 5yrs ago, though not by him, and have been told that I am about to lose all of my teeth, plus the bridge. I am at my wits end. I will not contemplate dentures, and need advise on implants.Please help
A. Options for replacing mising teeth are
1. bridges
2. dentures
3. implants.
Implants are a great way of replacing missing teeth. My advice would be to see an experienced implant dentist to provide you options.

Q. i asked my doctor to give me a nice smile or correct spaced teeth in the front of my mouth and he is giving me a crown and root canal on the damaged tooth first, but what about the other teeth in the front they are still spaced will i need a root canal on the other teeth in order to get them unspaced and looking nice?
A. It is difficult for me to say without seeing you, all I would say is that you don’t always need root canal before crown or veneer is fitted

Q. I have recently had one of my front teeth break off half way down, and I basically have a mouth full of fillings including a root canal job. My confidence has been knocked so much and I really don’t know what can be done to help me under the NHS? I’m really hoping you can advise me as it’s getting me really down.
A. You can get basic treatment on the NHS although cosmetic treatment may need to be paid separatly for the front tooth.

Q. Hi i have had root canal in one of my front teeth and it has become slightly grey,my dentist told me the only way to whiten it is to bleach it internally but theres no way i can afford it.is it possible to have a white filling in the front tooth instead and would this have a whitening effect?
A. The white filling would let the grey colour shine through so it doesn’t work too well

Q. Hi Dr. Patel, About 2 years ago I was getting a root canal and my tooth cracked and the tooth had to be pulled. It was the last tooth on the bottom. Now, the tooth above where the old tooth was is growing. The tooth that is growing is a crown. Should I have that tooth pulled? Should I have my regular dentist pull the tooth. Thank you.
A. You need to see your dentist and have it checked if you are wearing a lower denture than the top tooth should not move. Another cause could be the bone around that top tooth has weakened. Go and see your dentist.

Q. I had a root canal done on a mandibular 2nd molar 5 days ago, was already being treated with antibiotic as a precaution. After the novacaine wore off I was in a great deal of pain. Took vicodin and antibiotic as prescribed, called the dentist the following morning. He switched my antibiotic to a stonger one and said he would see me next week. I was awake all night tat night again in pain, called his emergency number, now accompanied by swelling an an inability to eat due to pain. He returned my call suggesting that I make an appt after the wknd was over to come in to have the tooth extracted. I am 44 years old, female, in good health. This is my second root canal and experienced nothing like this with my last one. Even the exterior of my face is painful when touched. Any suggestions on what has gone wrong or what I should do?
A. Sometimes an infection is so severe it won’t clear wth root canal. In these cases sometimes removal of the tooth is the only option. You could also ask for a referral to a specialist in root canal , an endondontist.

Q. Dr Tennet, My upper two front teeth have 40 year old root canals. What is left of the teeth themselves is a very fragile & dark brown. What is the best cosmetic choice for covering them? I currently have porcelain crowns with white (titanium?) cores. They are ok, but not super. Any other options? Also, the gum above one of the crowns protrudes a bit more than its neighbor. That developed after the crowns were replaced a few years ago. My doctor has x-rayed and it doesn’t show an infection. I’m guessing a lot can go wrong with old dental work? Any advice would be appreciated
A.
Discoloured Root filled teeth can be a problem to shade match All ceramic Zirconia cores are a good route but the level of opaque will need to be judged by trial and error it usually requires a few visits. The crown margins should be about 1mm below the gum line to hide the dark root emerging. If this is not possible then some periodontal plastic surgery to reshape the gum using grafts / emdogain etc might be an option.

Q. I have been suffering wit a dead front tooth (top) for over a month. The dentist has drilled a hole in the back of the tooth, and initially left the tooth open in order for the bacteria to be killed off by the oxygen. This alleviated the pain initially. The tooth was then padded with soaked disinfectant on cotton wool. Following this after a week or so the tooth was repacked but left open. After the following week the tooth was packed with cotton wool and then sealed with a temporary filling. This felt ok for a while and then the pain was too great and so I removed the temporary filling and the padding and left the tooth open. This alleviated the pain once more. The tooth has now been packed again and sealed over with a temp filling and the pain at this point is quite bad with pain now at the gum and painful to pressure. Should I leave the filling in place or remove it and let the air in again? Is there a better method, this all seems a little ludicrous for this day and age!!!
A. You may need to consider removing the tooth if the infection doesn’t clear soon. Alternatively you could ask your dentist to refer you to a specialist endodontist, they might have more success in saving the tooth and completing the root canal

Q. Hi, I have just returned from a visit to my dentist today. My appointment was for preparation for a crown on upper molar, second from back. This tooth had broken in half followng root canal treatment and filling 5 years ago. My current dentist put a temporary cover on it and we left it for six months to ensure that the seal hadn’t been breached. When he removed the temporary today he advised he would be unable to save the tooth as what was left of the tooth was partially below the gum-line rendering a crown that would not be viable. He suggested either a bridge, which he felt was not a good option due to the grinding down of the adjacent teeth and suggested an implant at a cost of £2,000. Having done some research on the internet some sites have said that crowns can be placed even if there is only a root left (that has had root canal treatment) and a post can be inserted into the root for the crown to be attached to. Can you advise if this is a possibility please? I look forward to your response. Many thanks.
A. the details are all important here. some teeth can be managed with crowns some are better extracted.
the size, shape and location of the residual tooth : filling are all important.
Before implants there were several common ways to solve the problems. But the fix might only last 5-10years, Implants can be more predictable in some cases. so tend to be increasing in popularity.

Q. I had root canal on my bottom front tooth which was a grey colour, i since had my teeth bleached and was told to inject the tooth after the bleaching procedure using the trays and bleach provided. This didnt work and the tooth looks terrible compared to my other teeth which are white. What do you suggest? I just want a nice smile.
A. Thanks for your question, you may wish to consider having the tooth veneered. A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain which is made to fit over the front surface of the tooth, and can be used to improve the colour, shape, size and overall aesthetic appearance of a tooth or teeth. The veneer would be made to match the whitened shade of your other teeth, to give a uniform look to your smile. I hope this helps.

Q. my two front teeth sick way out what could be done to fix them other than braces
A. hi many thanks for your email, the other option would be to use veneers/crowns to bring them back in the smile. however the teeth may require root canal treatment. there is a case on my website under goofy teeth which give you an idea of the type of treatment that can be achieved.
hope this is helpful.

Q. I had root treatment on one of my front teeth years ago and the tooth has gone grey, would whitening help or would a veneer be preferable, if so how much would one veneer cost? Thanks
A. hi many thanks for your email, the gery tooth can be treated by internal whitening but this is sometimes unpredictable and even if the tooth whitens sometimes the colour can reverse.
the veneer is more predictable and long term, the cost of a single tooth veneer can range from £500 – £1200. dependant on where you go. my charge is usually £750.
hope this is helpful.

Q. I am having a root canal treatment for a very sensative back tooth & a crown, this is being done on the nhs but i have to pay. Can you tell me what quality the nhs crown will be & what it is mad of? and do i have a choice ? I ask this because i have a heart condition “AF” [Atrial Fribulation] & i have been told that metal in the mouth such as lead or amalgom can cause this AF that i have. What nhs crown do you suggest i have fitted ?
A. I have seen no scientific evidence to support what you have been told regarding lead or amalgam and atrial fibrillation. I would suggest you discuss this with your cardiac surgeon or doctor to get a clear picture of the facts.

Q. Upper right incisor. I have a crown on metal post from 30 yrs ago. The crown was replaced 15 yrs ago. My root filling has gone wrong, x ray shows the root filling to have moved. I am recommended to have a apicectomy with an endodontic surgeon. Would it be better to remove this root and have an implant?
A. I personally prefer the predictablility of an implant as apicectomy often destroys the bone and prevents an implant being placed at a later date. If you would like me to take a look please feel free to contact me on implant@advancedentalclini.com

Q. I have been told that after a root canal in one of my lower molars, that now the root has come away from the canal and the other root cannot support the tooth on its own, and therefore the tooth needs to be extracted. My tooth doesn’t feel particularly loose, I’m not in any pain, and I don’t particularly want to loose it and get an implant. Is there anyway that titanium rods can be used in keeping the natural tooth?
A. hi many thanks for your email, if the tooth has split at the roots, although the tooth may not be causing you any pain the consequences of leaving the tooth and not having it extracted could be dyer. my advice would be to have the tooth extracted and then a dental implant as any other option will not be long term.

Q. I damaged my front tooth when i was younger this made it slack I was then given root treatment and in time my tooth started to discolour, it was then suggested i get an veneer, this venner looked good but after 3 yrs it chipped and I needed to get it replaced,my second veneer was only in for 2 weeks when it cracked from the inside.I was then given my third within 6 months this one became noticeably darker, my dentist advised me to get yet another, I am just home from appt and this veneer is slightly better but at my gum area all you can see is blackness. I did say that I was’nt happy with it but he expressed that is the best he can do with what he has to work with, my own tooth is black and yellow as he showed me. i am wondering if you could advise on any other options. thanks
A. Thanks for your questions, you may wish to consider having a crown on the tooth instead of a veneer. Although it would involve more preperation of the tooth, a crown would be much less transparent hence consealing the discolouration. I would recommend that you speak to your dentist to gain his professional opinion on the merit of this in your case. I hope that his helps.

Q. I have has an abcess beneath one of my teeth. My dentist ended up giving me root canal treatment and filling. This flared up again and again several times without being sucessfully resolved. Therefore he referred me to a root canal specialst. The specialist has taken an xray of the tooth, and the root appears completely translucent, almost as if it is not there. It only has a very faint outline. He said there also seems to be some debris in the root. He is not sure why this is, and I am due to go back on a weeks time. My question is why would a root appear on xray to be translucent. Has the root completely perished? If so, can that occur from an abcess, or would it be a result of too much/frequent work my dentist has performed. COuld this have caused the root to shatter/perish?
A. hi many thanks for your email, firstly yes an abcess can cause the root of a tooth to dissolve, in correct term is external or internal resorption. this is usually not caused by work done on a tooth so i think it will more down to a problem with the infection. You are in safe hands if the speciailist is looking after you so hold in there and see what the outcome brings.
hope this is helpful.

Q. i have been diagniosed today with facial neuralgia this was because my trigeminal nerve was damaged during a root canal. i was wondering could you tell me the recovery time on this please?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the root canal treatment is usually not such a invasive procedure that it will have severed your nerve so the nerve will just be bruised more than likely.
my advice is to monitor the problem it should get better week on week and have full resolution in around 3 months time.
