Dear Dr Moore, After Visiting My Dentist For A Filling, I’ve Experienced Sensitivity. What Should I Do?

Friday, April 25th, 2014
Q.

Dear Dr. Moore,

After visiting the dentist for re-filling of one of my molars which contains a rather big hole, I have been experiencing very sensitive dentine for more than 3 months. Whenever I eat hot and cold stuff, it hurts badly. I phone the dentist, he suggested me to buy a toothpaste with the brand called Sensodyne to take care of it. I did as he told me. But so far after 3 months, it improves only a little bit. I don’t want to go back to the previous dentist, because he may charge me a lot of money. What should I do? I hope you can help me. Thank you.

I Was Head-Butted When I Was Young And This Has Left Me With Many Problems, What Type Of Treatment Should I Be Looking At?

Thursday, September 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I’m looking for some advice really. When I was young I was head-butted in the chin which forced my bottom teeth into my top front teeth and cracked away all the edge of my teeth leaving them rough, uneven and sensitive.
I also have vertical cracks running along all my teeth and they are extremely sensitive to hot and cold even simply breathing in through my mouth causes me pain and discomfort.
The shape of some of my top teeth are also bothering me my incisors are extremely round and chipped and my canines are very sharp and pointy looking.

I have a feeling that this could be down to my hatred of calcium (milk) when growing up as a child and feel that they may not have developed properly.

Any advice?

Is There Any Way That My Fillings Can Be Replaced Without Harming Any Of The Tooth Structure?

Wednesday, July 31st, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark, I wondered if you could advise me with an issue? In my front two teeth I had root canal treatment and there are two white fillings. The problem is that one of the teeth has a large white filling and I want to change both. However, I don’t want to lose even a little of the structure of the teeth. Is there a technology that has the ability to remove the filling only? or is there a dentist who can do that slowly without removing even a little of the structure. I really care about the structure of the teeth. I already have quite sensitive teeth and I don’t want them turning worse because of this. Thanks for your time.

A Molar Tooth I Had Filled Has Become Very Painful, What Should I Do?

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013
Q.

Hi Doctor Hughes. A molar tooth that has a filling redone about 8 months ago has become extremely painful.There is a dull ache on this tooth and it also looks as if there is a small gap between tooth and gum. I suffer from constant twinges when eating hot and cold food too. What is likely to be the problem here? There is a tooth next to it that was removed last year and the one on the other side is bent inwards and that does have a small hole in it. I know that’s probably another problem in its self but what do you think? I would like a general idea before I decide to visit my dentist, will this cost a lot to fix up do you think? Thank you for your help.

Would I be able to get veneers on the NHS?

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello,

I have had caps on one of my teeth (top front teeth) on 2 occasions as my the bottom of my tooth was chipped quite badly playing football when younger, but they keep falling off. My teeth are also very sensitive, I have used toothpaste for this for atleast the last year but it hasn’t helped.

I have spoken to some people about this when teeth is the topic of conversation and on a few occasions veneers have been mentioned. I’m not in a position where I have the funds to pay for private veneers after a quick search on Google, but have seen that veneers through the NHS are rather inexpensive.

Given my brief description of my situation, would veneers at NHS prices ever be granted? I am willing to try other solutions also. I have an appointment next week with my dentist, but just thought I would ask here first to see if it would even be worth mentioning.

Thanks for your time.

My Tooth Hurts When I Come In From The Cold, What Is The Problem?

Monday, April 8th, 2013
Q.

When out in cold air I feel no pain but a few minutes after coming into the warm I get a pain in upper tooth which lasts for some time (depends how cold it is outside and how long I’ve been out. My dentist says he can see nothing wrong and has x rayed. I do use special toothpaste for sensitive teeth but it doesn’t help.
If I get a cold (which I haven’t this winter I do get pain in the teeth both sides but this pain is on the upper jaw between premolar and molar. Seems to be at a very specific spot between the teeth
What can be the cause and what can I do as I am getting reluctant to go out in the cold?

My Teeth Are Very Sensitive And Discoloured, Is Whitening Toothpaste My Best Bet?

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013
Q.

I am 62 years old and have lost the enamel off my teeth; I have been informed this is due to eating too much fruit.
I am very embarrassed to talk let alone smile, due to the dark colour of my teeth.
I am due to attend a very important wedding soon and I am so worried about my teeth that I am now considering having them whitened.
I do have sensitive teeth and use Sensodyne toothpaste but I believe the whitening process increases sensitivity and am a little concerned about that.
I would truly appreciate your comments please.

I hate my discoloured teeth, what can I do?

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Q.

Hello, at the age of four i tripped and shattered some of my milk teeth. The fall severely damaged and injured my gums. This led to my new teeth growing pitted and damaged. I am now twenty-one and my adult teeth are hideous. They are all pitted and stained and cause bouts of sensitivity. I have previously tried home stain removal kits, whitening kits and have also had temporary fillers put on them in the past and these just seem to chip off.
Am i able to get help in funding for veneers on eight teeth (four top, four bottom)?
I am currently a full-time student at university so cannot afford to pay for private dental work. I am also due to get married next year and just want to be able to smile.
Thank you

Is there any treatment I can get for badly receding gums caused by overzealous brushing?

Monday, March 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello
I am fifty two years old and have never smoked or drunk in my life. I have got badly receding gums apparently due to the wrong type of brushing I have been doing. My teeth are very sensitive and they feel loose.I am scared that they are going to fall out.I have regular check ups at my dentist but he just says that it is my own fault for brushing too vigorously and that there is nothing that I can do.I was wondering if this is correct or if there are any procedures to stop the gums from getting any worse.If so could you possibly give me a rough idea of costs and where I could get any treatment.Many thanks
