Q. Hi, A few days ago while I was eating I suddenly bit down on a piece of bone with my front teeth. Since then the left front tooth has become extremely sensitive. I think it is cracked but not exactly sure as I can’t see any crack but can feel a slight uneveness at the tip. It is so painful that I find it difficult talking as the cold air makes it hurt. Any ideas as to how to stop this? Please help!
A. Thanks for your question, I would recommend that you attend your dental practice at your earliset convenience, so that they can assess the damage to the tooth. If it is just sensitivity, using toothpaste specifically designed for sensitivity can help.
Kind regards

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. I’m 22 and my teeth are awful! I’m embarassed to smile, laugh and often get told to ‘cheer up’ because of my regular closed mouth expression. My teeth are discoloured, sensitive, and crooked. This is due to lack of dental care when I was a child. I regularly use whitening products, and sensitive toothpastes, I visit the dentist but just seem to have filling upon filling. I’m so scared of one of my front teeth completely falling out. I honestly feel like I would be happier with false teeth, which is a bit of a daunting prospect at the age of 22. Being a student, I cant afford cosmetic dentisty and even the financial plas seem to want £100+ a month, which just isnt an option for me. I don’t seem to have a local dentistry school, and even ones far away seem to have full waiting lists. I’ve considered using a student loan to go abroad to have ‘cheap’ dentistry work done but hav been advised this could make things even worse. What should I do?
A. Its very difficult to have extensive treatment on a budget. You might be able to get some done on the NHS which is usually cheaper than paying privately. You always take a risk when going abroad as often the cost isn’t that much different, especially as the pound is quite weak against the Euro at the moment. You might also have complications that require further visits abroad. I guess the best option would be to save up as much as possible and to start the treatment in stages perhaps using a finance plan to help spread the costs?

Q. HELLO DR MOORE, I AM A 40 YR OLD FEMALE I DO NOT SMOKE, DONT DRINK RED WINE OR COFFE. BRUSH MT TEETH TWICE A DAY AND FLOSS BUT MY TEETH HAVE STARTED TO GO OFF COLOUR (YELLOWISH). IS THIS PURELY AN AGE THING. I AM SCARED OF BLEACHING AS I DONT WANT MY TEETH TO GET SENSITIVE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBS THIS YEAR WITH MY BACK MOLAR (TOOTH WAS DYING). I VALUE YOUR THOUGHT.
A. Bleaching can cause some transient sensitivity but on the whole is a very good way to improve the colour of the teeth with a minimum of fuss and expense

Q. im 17 and the side tooth jus next to my front ones are very sensitive and hurts everytime i drink a cold or hot drink could i get a silver cap over it.
A. hi many thanks for your email, i first think deal with the sensitivity, this may be due to a level of poor oral hygiene, if this is the case starting brushing over the gums as well as teeth, start to use a flouride mouthwash and also replace your toothpaste for a sensitivity version. once this has subsided then of course for cosmetic reasons you could have a silver cap over this tooth.

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. 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.

A. You can
not have invisible braces on the nhs you would have to pay for them, you could see an nhs orthodontist to have a consultation but you may not be eligible for treatment.

Q. Hi i am wanting to ask my four front teeth seem to be eroding quite quickly i have suffered acid reflux but am now on medication and this seems to have calmed down do you think this is because of reflux that my teeth have gone like this? and if so is there any way to sort this out.Kind regards.
A. Reflux causes strong acids to break the teeth down you could have tooth coloured material or porcelain placed over the teeth to strengthen and protect them.

Q. I have bonding, approx. 12 years old, on my two front teeth which are stained yellow. I am going to do an at-home whitening system. Do I need to wait 2 weeks after I’ve totally completed the whitening before I have the bonding replaced ? Thus, do I need to wait in order for my teeth to fully absorb & change color to the final “whiteness” in order to accurately match the bonding to the new white? Also, I’ve been told that I cannot do the ZOOM in office whitening because I have extremely sensitive teeth. Is this true as well?
A. Zoom is not advised for extremely sensitive teeth.
You should wait a week after finishing the whitneing before replacing the bonding to give them time to settle.

My teeth also become very sensitive during this time.My gums and teeth, although there is gum receeding happening, are in very good condition. I have my teeth cleaned regularly, and keep my teeth very clean. Please help, what can I do?
A.
please consult your dentist so that he can take an x-ray and examin your teeth and advise you on the way forward.

Q. I have my front tooth filled about 3weeks ago and ever since then my front tooth is very sensitive to cold and hot items when it touch the front tooth. why is this? Also, I had my back tooth filled about 3wks ago and it constantly hurts me. my whole left side of my face and jaw hurts and my head hurts. my dentist says the pain should go away in about two weeks that the filling needs to settle. My tooth is so sensitive. and when the dentist did the filling it was done real sloppy. there was filling overlapping on my tooth and it was very coarse. I had to ask for the filling to be cleaned up from the sides of my tooth and have it smooth out and this was the case for my front tooth also. very slappy. could this be the reason why my front and back tooth hurts so bad.
A. White fillings can take a few weeks to settle in and may feel sensitive in this time. If the pain does not go away in the next few weeks, it may be that the filling is too high. As you are numb when you have your filling placed it can be difficult for your dentist to get the bite completely accurate. This can be easily adjusted in a short appointment with your dentist.

Q. I have very very sensitive teeth (all of my teeth are sensitive) my dentist has been perscribing me for a little over a year mouthwash that she uses in her office and floride toothpaste, i also use sensodine,ACT mouthwash and i’ve been using a soft round electric brush but my teeth are still horribly sensitive to breathing, metal, cold , hot, and certain textures. Iam 24yrs old and i want all my teeth pulled all of them and get dentures but my dentist said no because my teeth are good teeth and i heard about crowning is it possible that crowning all my teeth would help or will i be in pain for life?
A. I would avoid removing the teeth, it will add up to years of misery in the future. However if the teeth are that sensitive then maybe crowns or veneers might help. Even covering the sensitive teeth with a resin filling, usually around the necks of the teeth near the gums.

Q. I have toothache in my left front tooth. They were sensitive and I am using the sensodyne pro-namel toothpaste which was gradually making the problem better over time. However a few days ago toothache started in my left front tooth and the sensitivty has almost completely gone away in just the last 2 days since the toothache started. The tooth hurts when i put any small pressure onto it and has grown from mild pain from time to time to constant mild pain. What is wrong and what should I do?
A. You need to go and se a dentist to see if the tooth has decay or is being irritated by the position of the bite.
