Hi Dr. Bohara. I need some advice please. I have extremely sensitive teeth and my gums are receding. I am a diabetic also. My teeth at the back of the top and bottom of my mouth are very sore. Especially when I eat. So painful i need painkillers. I have several teeth missing at the back of my mouth at the top and bottom and sometimes when the pain is so bad i feel like i could pull them all out. Two of my teeth at the front lower jaw have very severly gum recession and are a little loose. Could you please advise me on any treatment. I currently receive free nhs treatment. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi, hopefully you can give me some advice with some dental issues I’m having. I had a veneer fitted on a top front tooth back in January, and the dentist who did it managed to damage the tooth to the extent that I needed a root canal treatment done – this was done at the end of March. Since then the pain has improved but is still present; the tooth can be tender to bite down on (but not always) and the front surface is often (but again not always) sensitive/tender to light pressure. Tapping on the tooth is much better than it was previously. I am also having some pain in the gum between the front tooth and the one to the right – my dentist can see nothing wrong with the gum but it is frequently slightly painful and can swell slightly first thing in the morning/on eating. I don’t know if this is likely to be from the tooth or from an internal infection. I appreciate this is a lot to describe and expect you to comment on, but any advice would be appreciated. Because there are no obvious issues my dentist does not seem in a hurry to try to fix anything, but these issues are now having an effect on my mental health.
Thanks

I have receeding gums and sensitive teeth.eg eating icecream one day is fine the next terrible pain. always have sensitve teeth even when i have not ate or drunk anything for a couple of hours.wake up in the morning sensitive teeth not painful but pain always in the background. dentist told me my brushing is perfect but i have to admit many years ago i use to scrub my teeth very very hard hence why they are probably the way they are. hospital told me to see my dentist soon so that he can put something on my gums and use a type of light on them which will happen in a couple of weeks then back to hospital in october to see how they are. hop you can help as i want them whitened.

Dear Doctor,

I have discolored teeth and would like to have this corrected. I have already tried the more widely available teeth whitening strips but my teeth became very sensitive soon after so I had to stop using them. I also developed a very thin, white vertical line down one of my front teeth and thought that the enamel had been damaged by the strips.

I feel from this experience that a professional laser whitening system would not suit me. I am reluctant to get veneers because I feel it is too invasive to natural teeth.

I have heard of cosmetic bonding and was wondering if this was an option to whiten teeth. Some sources say that bonding can only be used to correct smaller stains, but some suggest that it can be used to whiten the entire tooth.

Please could you tell me if cosmetic bonding is suitable for tooth whitening, Thank You.

Dear Dr , I have recently been advised by my dentist that I require a crown fitted on one of my back teeth, the tooth has already had a root filling about 9/10 years ago, I cannot recall ever having problems with the root filling but upon changing my dentist they have noticed that my root filling is actually broken at the bottom of one side (if that makes sense) this tooh was re filled and I have had discomfort in the area since the filling, they have advised that I should still go ahead with the crown, I am however concerned that after having the crown fitted the root breakage could give me trouble which could possibly lead to extra root work and another crown being required… which would be the best way forward in your opinion !!

Hi I would like to ask your advice on my up and coming orthodontic treatment which is to correct my underbite. The problem is that I recently suffered trauma to my teeth which subsequently left my central incisor loose.
I am scheduled for the fitting procedure in May which will be a year on from the trauma took place.
My tooth is still sensitive and tender and I am anxious that it is to soon to have braces fitted. I am afraid the tooth will die.
The orthodontist has not taken any individual x-rays and has told me if the tooth is going to die it will die anyway.
What is your opinion on my situation?

Hello Dr Safeer Butt and thank you for taking the time to consider my question. ihave 2 teeth that are badly decayed through years of fizzy drinks and not very good oral hygiene.the decay has eaten through the enamel leaving a dark browndecay underneath.generaly speaking is the fact that i have no pain orjust the normall sensitivity to hot/cold a good thing as regards treatment options.there is also no undue pain when pressure is put on teeth.the teeth in question are my upper central and lateral incisors.i would be interested in your opinions of possible options if as im hoping the decay has not yet reached the pulp/nerve as im not in ahy discomfort. im sorry the question was so long.thank you for your time.

Hi. I have very bad gums, really badly receded and I’, scared of loosing my teeth. I’m only 33 and go to my dentist regularly but he told me I had nothing to worry about. But I am concerned because my teeth have become very sensitive as my gums have receded. What treatments are available and what would you recommend? My mother had the same problem and has lost many of her teeth – I dont want to loose mine because my teeth are very strong. HELP. Please

Hi,
Okay, so I had braces for 3 years. The main reason for me haing the was I had an impacted K9 and a milk tooth in it’s place. The took the baby tooth out and pulled the K9 down using a gold chain. While they was doing this the shorten the roots of te tooth next to the K9 and on of my front teeth. Anyway cut a long sorry short it’s been a year now since I’ve ha my brace off and the 2 teeth next to my problem tooth are really sentsitive and I’m scared they are gonna fall out. (Oh and by the way the K9 is back to front) Think is I’m only 21 and I really don’t want a denture for my front teeth. Will an implant be my best option? Can or will a dentist just remove the teeth that are hurting and put an implant in so I don’t have to have a gap if it falls out. Sorry about my little rant but I’m losing sleep over this. Thanks, any advice you can give me will be highly appreiated.
