Q. Dear dr Glaister , I`m really hoping you can help me. I recently had my teeth removed ,and dentures fitted (straight away).I`m petrified of dentists ,and they were made aware of this…hence i was supposed to get both local injections ,and councious sedative? NEITHER worked ,and i sobbed while they yanked and pulled at my teeth..I can recall everything. I also don`t think they put in the right dentures ,as these are not the white ,nice ones i chose ,and was shown by my own dentist. My real problem now ,is after a week ,these throb ,ache ,and i`m bleeding from my gums/mouth still…..also i`m not happy with my so=called new smile?? And could i possibly have an infection?The entire process took less than 9/10 mins ,and i`m still in alot of pain. ANy help would be gratefully appreciated..many thanks
A. Dear,
I am sorry that you have had such a negative experience at the dentist.
Any aesthetic issues you have with the denture can be corrected easily by having the denture remade. This time ensure that you and your dentist are agreed on the shade of the denture to prevent further issues. However the first thing to be addressed should be the pain. It may be that you have an infection and/or that the denture is causing irritation. Either way you will need to return to the dentist to have these problems dealt with. Unfortunately I cannot diagnose the problem without assessing your mouth.
Kind regards

A. Bruising can peak 4-5 days after a root canal, if it continues to get worse after this you should return to your dentist as further treatment may be needed.

Q. I took my 2 and half year old daughter to a pediatric dentist. she has bad tooth pain in her front 2 teeth. They x-rayed them and found no cavities. They did say she had a small cut on the backside of her front 2 teeth which could causing the pain in the teeth. He also said from the xray it looked like she had a disinagrating root? what does this mean and how would they fix it???
A. I am afraid it is very difficult to gauge the diagnosis from your description, it maybe best to simply ask this question of the paediatric dentist who saw your daughter I am sure they would be more than happy to give you a full explanation, if not, then perhaps book a second opinion with another dentist.
Kind regards

Q. Five months ago I had one of my front teeth removed and a partial pallet fitted. Two days ago I started getting pain in my cheek and now my cheek is swollen. If I smile or try to move my mouth I have severe pain in my cheek and along my top jaw. I am just assuming I have an abcess or infection. I have no actual pain in my teeth. I am terrified of Dentist’s could you please advise me what I should do.
A. It doesn sound like you have an abscess. you need to book in wit your dentist you will diagnose and treat as necessary.

Q. Hi, I only have 1 back molar tooth on the bottom rear (the 1 behind it & ahead of it had to be extracted). Are there any problems down the road if I don’t do anything about it – or should I be getting a bridge? I’m told a bridge will run around $3,000.00 but that’s a lot of money! Please let me know if there would be any problems leaving it as is? Thank you!
A. Its always best to replace missing teeth despite the cost as not replacing teeth causes added stress on the other teeth

Q. I’m currently whitening my teeth at home with a custom set of trays made at my local dentist’s office. I’m using Optident 20% carbamide peroxide gel (2 hrs per session). After two nights in a row my teeth feel somewhat sensitive and on the third night during whitening I have experiences a couple of mildly painful ‘zingers’. So far I’ve been leaving the treatment a couple of days and then repeating. However, I feel that to get some real results I need to continue the treatment each night for a couple of weeks – which I’m sure will make my teeth more sensitive as I go. Is there any danger in feeling zingers and general sensitivity, and is there more merit in the treatments being done daily rather than spread out over a longer period of time? Many thanks for reading my question and any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
A. To get the best results you should bleach on consecutive nights for 2 weeks. The bleach penetrates the enamel, dentine and nerve hence the sensitivity. There is no permanent damage although the teeth do become porous and you should stay away from staining foods and drinks for the time you bleach and for 2 weeks after. Please be assured that once you stop the bleaching the sensitivity will go away after about a week.

Q. I have a loose implant which on X ray today shows I have a bone infection, is there anyway this can be treated other than removing the implant. Would it really need to be removed for 3 months, mortified
A. If the implant is loose it will need removing before you lose too much bone. Sometimes it is possible to replace the implant at the same time or if the infection is severe wait 3-6 months prior to placing the new implant
If the implant is near the front ask your dentist for a temporary solution such as an adhesive bridge while it heals.

Q. I am 47 years old and have not been to a dentist for 27 years after a quite terryfying experience. I have lost alot of teeth and apart from a few at the front bottom and top the others remaining are broken or decaying. I am scared stiff of the dentist and get panicky just thinking about it. Could you give me some idea of how I will accepted if I go. I do not want to be lectured as i am well aware of my situation. What I need is a sympathic and calming approach but I am really scred this may not be the case.
A. When I see patients such as yourself I am certainly not judgmental but concerned about treating your mouth back to health. For patients who are scared of dentistry there are a number of ways to help you through the process. In my experience most patients who are as scared as you find IV sedation a great help. They find that this technique makes them very relaxed during the treatment and also they have little memory of the event. This also allows me to carry out the best treatment possible. If this is of interest to you please contact my practice for an appointment. i look forward to meting you.

Q. Hello Dr Moore I have what seems to be glue left on my two centre top teeth from when my braces were removed when I was 17 (8 years ago). I presumed this would wear away with time but this has not been the case and now the surface of the teeth is very uneven. Not only this, but the bottoms of only these two teeth seem to be wearing away and are now almost transparent! I am very worried and these teeth are also extremely sensitive. Please could you tell me my options and is there anything to be done on the NHS, particularly as this seems to have been caused by my previous dentist?
A. The glue can be removed very easily by your dentist. The wear on the tips of the teeth is a separate issue. Try a desensitsing tooth paste such as Proenamel but also ask your dentist to check things over as you might be grinding your teeth at night to cause the wear in the 1st place.

Q. I wanted a pretty smile so I had my upper 4 front teeth fitted with veneers a little over a year now. The veneers were way to long and bulky. I looked like Buggs Bunny and talked with a hisp. The dentist and I have yelled at each other. He said he will not replace them but keeps grinding them down. I have had pain and throbbing ever since, especially at night (I do wear a night guard because I clench my teeth). The pain at night keeps me awake. I cannot lay on my back or my side without feeling like my front teeth are being pushed around. I cannot get releif. The teeth look OK now but the throbbing at night won’t go away. What do you suggest? I really depressed about this.
A. Please come and see me for a free cosmetic consultation to allow me to assess your problems and hopefully find a solution for you.

Q. Hello, I have just been to my dentist as I was experiencing pain in my lower back teeth. I had an x-ray done and was told that my lower back teeth were fine but that I have alot of decay in my top canine tooth and that it will need fixing immediatly. She then poked and blew air into it asking me if it hurt which it didn’t and then said I would need the tooth sorting but said that it would be extremley difficult. I asked if she meant if I was going to lose the tooth or need a root canal and she said no nothing like that, she would just need to do a normal type filling but just that it was going to be very difficult. I am now scared and don’t understand. Please could you explain this to me a little more? What happens during a filling of you canine tooth and why would it be so difficult? Please please help!!!
A. I am not sure what your dentist meant either – you need to go back to her and ask her specifically what she means

Q. I fell down from the byke and my big right upper lip is 30% broke. and i feel very small part of my teeth is left in lower lip. because my lip is tight over there. it’s doubtfull as per the x-ray report. how can i ensure, whether tooth part is left or not in my lip. and what king of problems i may face if it remain in the lip.
A. If the x-ray shows that there is no tooth fragment in the lip then it is probably scarring you are feeling which should improve in the next few weeks.
