Q. Hello i had root canal treatment not long back – i ate something hard and chewy and part of my tooth has come off – its very painful , there is still some tooth there will the pain go away ? and is there any way i could save the tooth
A. Back teeth following root treatment are usually crowned to prevent splitting of the tooth. It is likely that the piece of tooth you have broken is still attached at the gum level and this is what is causing you pain. If this is so the dentist should be able to remove the broken part of the tooth and to crown what is remaining

Q. hi there i am 26 years old and i have really bad front teeth, they are both dead from where i fell of my bike and the left one sticks out massivly. i have had 2 root canals on both of them, i really want my teeth to be straight and white but can not afford the cost of braces. i would consider crowns but i went to see a dentist and he said that because my left tooth sticks out to much they wont be straight at the top but they will at the bottom. in all my photos since having the accedent in 2001 i have never smiled showing my teeth. if you know how i can get them straightend on a buget them please let me know as its been a dream of mine to have them done but never had the cash to do it.. thank you for reading this
A. hi, thanks for your email, this is always a difficult situation. however with the advent of interest free credit to help make treatment affordable i think you could have a proper job done and be able to smile on a budget. some dental practices offer interest free loans over a maximum of three years so to make it even more affordable. the first thing you need to work out is what is a montly affordable payment you would be happy to make. seek the advice of a cosmetic dentist and work along these terms. hope this is helpful.

Q. hi Dr Caplan 24 years ago i had 4 crowns fitted, my teeth were uneven before the crowns so the dentist inserted metal posts into my gums the new crowns were fab since then i have had a root canal filling due to reacurring abscess which took several hours 3 years ago one of the metal posts dropped out the dentist did some alterations to the crown and put the post in place he told me it could last one week one month or maybe years depending on how i looked after it and he would not be able to do any further repairs and my options would be a inplant or a denture the post has dropped out again it is next to sound tooth and a crown ,what are my options i cannot afford a inplant and do not want a plate thank you
A. Your only othe roption will be to have a bridge to replace the failing crown/crowns

Q. hello, i had a upper root canal done then a perm crown. this tooth still hurts (pain in root) dispite nothing wrong showing on xray, plus 2 lots of anti biotics later. now all my upper teeth ache especially my front ones? what could this be i am really fed up. i would value you opinion thanks so much
A. hi many thanks for your email, i think the pain is radiating from the tooth which has been root canaled. if the tooth is not settling my advice would be to asked to be referred to a specialist endodontist who is more likely to get to the bottom of the problem and resolve the pain.

Q. HELLO DR PATEL. I HAD A ROOT CANAL ON A LARGE UPPER MOLAR. IT HAS NOW STOPED HURTING. I CAN EAT PAIN FREE ON IT, TOUCH IT PAIN FREE, TAP IT PAIN FREE. HOWEVER IT FEEL WEIRD LIKE THERE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IN IT . MY FRONT TEETH HAVE STARTED TO ACHE SINCE THE ROOT CANAL. MY JAW ALSO ACHES NEAR MY EARS. I HAVE HAD THE BITE ADJUSTED AND ITS PERFECT. COULD THIS BE SINUS? KIND REGDS.
A. If there was infection it could take a while to settle it sounds like the symptoms are reducing so I would wait until everything is pain free. It could be a sinus infection or the fact that the bite was too proud. Leave everything for at least 10 days unless symptoms get worse.

Q. Two years ago I went to the dentist for my regular scaling and check up. My dentist told me I had a cavity and thus would need a filling. I got my scaling and my filling done that day. He then told me to come back if I feel discomfort in my just-filled tooth (which I thought was weird because fillings aren’t associated with post-procedure pain). My tooth did hurt a bit, but I thought I’d survive, so I didn’t go back to my dentist for about a year and a half. Now (it’s been 2 years since I got the filling) I find myself getting a root canal. Can I please know exactly why my tooth got so sensitive, when, before the filling and discovery of the cavity, my tooth was absolutely fine (feeling wise). I feel as if the dentist I got my filling from did something wrong. That tooth was sensitive to hot and cold things from time to time, but I could survive. Was is a good choice to have got a root canal anyway? I am regretting having done this, and now I’m wondering if I really needed it. Thank you, Jessica
A. Teeth that have decay in them can often be symptom free. That is why dentists take Xrays to confirm that there is no hidden decay. When the decay is removed it can sometimes be close to the nerve of the tooth. When a filling is placed in this situation the nerve inside the tooth can still die and give you pain. It does not sound as though your dentist has done anything but the correct treatment for you and it is unfortunate tha the decay and bacteria had infected the nerve of your tooth

Q. #14 molar had cold and sweet sensetivity. USC Dental school removed decay close to pulp, pulled nerves, filled cavities, put temp crown. told there is no sign of infection. If nerves are already pulled why go to the proceedure and cost of full root canal , Why not return for full crown only, Cavity was deep soft dentin close to the pulp i believe was the cause of pain
A. Nerve removal is root canal treatment and is often carried out over a number of visits. If the infection has penetrated the nerve it can a while to to diagnose it completely.

Q. One of my 15 year old daughter’s front teeth is dark grey. Her dentist says it is as a result of bleeeding inside the tooth, but it is still alive and recommended tooth whitening (smile-x) on just that one tooth. The tooth is not stained; the discolouration has happened inside of the tooth and so I don’t see how whitening the outside of the tooth will help. Is there any method of possibly whitening the inside of t
he tooth? I do not want her to have veneers. What is your opinion? Thank you for your time.
A. You cannot have internal bleaching on a tooth that has not had root canal treatment. I recommend you have this tooth x-rayed and ask your dentist to do a pulp test. If the reason for the tooth discolouration is internal bleeding, the tooth is definately dead. In this case it need to have a Root Canal, you then can try internal bleaching.

A. They may be a number of reasons of why your tooth is still sore, including your bite and a possible infection inside of the tooth. Please book in with oyur dentist to explore further.

Q. I had gum contouring done 3 weeks ago. On Friday (3 days ago), my dentist relined my temporary to add more acrylic along the gum margin where tooth was exposed. He tried to adjust the tooth (which had been root canaled) and the bur hit the tooth. After that, he applied bonding material to the tooth before replacing the temporary. Now the tooth is sensitive. He inserted the cord on gum when he relined the temporary. Could the sensitivity be from the gum tissue? If a tooth that had been root canaled crack, will it be sensitive? I am afraid to ask him but I hope it did not crack.
A. IF the tooth has been successfully root treated you should not have temperature sensitivity. It might be from the gum, It is worth returning explain your sensitivity. Dont worry about getting it checked out.

Q. Hi there, I’m e-mailing from N. Ireland. After reading extensively regarding Veneers / Lumineers ( I have 2 crowns at the side of my front teeth). Firstly, before I start searching for a cosmetic dentist, what qualifications do I need to look out for ? Also, are Lumineers as good as a porcelain veneer and do they last as long. Also, If I need root treatment, fillings etc etc after having my lumineers/veneers fitted – can I go to my regular dentist to have this done – OR do I need to see a cosmetic dentist all the time thereafter ? Thank you so much
A. You need to find a good cosmetic dentist and have a consultation, lumineers are just one type of veneer and after a consultation you will know all the options. Try to find a dentist with a good reputation or a personal recommendation.

Q. i got hit in the mouth and now my front tooth is turning a purplish color.is there anything that can be done to the tooth to get the original color back.
A. You need to see a dentist and have an x-ray taken of the tooth it is highly likely the tooth will need root canal treatment and then could be whitened or crowned.

Q. Hi, I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to make your teeth healthier if they are not as healthy as they should be? I know the normal flossing, brushing, healthy eating and mouthwash but can i be doing anything more? I am terrified of dentists and have recently been for a checkup after about 10 years of not going. My teeth are not too bad, i have been told but i have a wisdom tooth that needs to come out( which has just broken on me). I have also had a filling fall out a few years ago but due to my fear did not get it sorted out but now the dentist says that the gum has grown up though the whole. My dentist says that it has to be removed but when i went for the xrays the dentist at the hospital said that i could have a rootcanal instead which would save the tooth. Apart from the gum thing the tooth is healthy and the roots and centre of the tooth are absolutely fine. How will a root canal help the gum issue? Thank you for taking the time to reply.
A. The best thing you can do for your teeth is to brush and floss twice a day and see a dentist and hygienist every 6 months.
Kind regards

Q. I have a possible root fracture in tooth number 19. I had silver points removed in 2006 and a new root canal. Now I have pressure discomfort and a bump on buccal side of tooth. My Dentist said it might be a root fracture and referred me to Oral Surgeon. I have had 3 root canal procedures on this tooth. 1 in 1973, 1 in 1980 and then the one in 2006. Please advise on what I should do at this point.
A. If you have a root fracture then reoval of the tooth and replacement, perhaps with a dental implant might be your best long-term option

A. Post crowns are the last chance to try to save the tooth as you know there is very little good tooth left. Long term you may need an implant or bridge.

Q. I just had a root canal done. I used Bleaching gel to white my teeth is that a good idea what the chances of me geeting an infection in my canal
A. please consult your dentist, usually it is fine to whitening teeth that have had Root canals, however it may be that the tooth has not had the treatment completed and in this case i would not recommend it. When having treatment carried out always ask your dentist any questions you may have pre and post treatment.

Q. I recently had my front tooth extracted about 8 months ago because when I was a child a root canal was done on my tooth incorrectly. After different techniques and surgery my dentist said the tooth couldn’t be saved because it was to far gone. I was laid off my job and lost my insurance. I currently have a fake pull out tooth that I hate! I hide it from my husband and family because I am embarassed. I can’t afford to continue the procedure for an implant. What can I do? Is there any information you can give me to help me? Thank you.
A. im afriad dental implants are only available privately. Consult an NHS dentist to find out what is available on the NHS, as it differs depending on your case.
