Q. Hi, It was a few years ago i noticed black dots on my teeth, i’ve since been to the dentist every 6 months apart from in the last year. She has always said there is nothing to worry about, but now i havent been to see the dentist in a while i have noticed they are gradually getting larger and on one of my teeth there is a second smaller black dot(the black dots are situated on the back two teeth on the bottom on either side, 4 in total)I have a phobia of any dental surgery. I had 2 teeth removed when i was 8/9yo under gas because of it and have was wondering is this decay also if it is are there any treatment which i would be put tosleep for the procedure?
A. It is very likely that the black dot is just stain in the pits an fissures of the teeth. Ask your dentist to x-ray them that way you will be able to tell if the dots are decay or just stain. You could have them filled if needed with sedation although the fillings will probably be very small.

Q. MY TEETH ARE REALLY YELLOW IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT AFTER HAVING THE TEETH WHITENING PROCESS THEY MIGHT NOT CHANGE COLOUR, AND CAN YOU CHOOSE WHETHER YOU HAVE THE SURGERY WHITENING OR THE HOME-MADE TRAYS?
A. Thanks for your questions, with the latest teeth whitening products available from your dental professional, you should expect your teeth to whiten noticably. Although the dentist will advise you of the best whitening products they offer, the choice of home kits or in surgery procedures should be your own. I hope this helps.
Many thanks

Q. I’ve just had a filling – there was decay under an existing filling (spotted via X-Ray) and some of the original filling had to be removed to remove the decay underneath and then place new filling on top. It has been 18 hours since the filling and I am still very sore. Is this normal? It’s 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep because of the pain/soreness. I could not brush over the recently filled area before going to bed either as it felt very sore/sensitive. I have had fillings before and cannot remember the pain post-filling lasting this long. Thank you
A. Thanks for your questions, I am sorry to hear that you are suffering. I would advise that you return to your dentist at your earliest convenience to have the filling checked, as it is keeping you awake. It is possible that the filling may just need some slight adjustments, but I would encourage you to have it checked.
Kind regards

Q. Dr Moore, My wife attended the dentist last month for a routine check-up. The dentist told her that she needed a filling and made another appointment for her to attend for this. later on, after having the filling done, she was havig a lot of pain. She went back to the dentist and he told her that he would have to remove the nerve from this tooth. My wife was still having a lot of pain. within the last week, her mouth & face has swollen causing her extreme pain. She went back to the dentist again and he removed another nerve from a tooth at the front of her mouth. I am very concerned that my wife has been suffering with pain for several weeks now as a result of attending the dentist for a routine check-up. Is this normal?
A. Complications such as these can occur after a filling, however it is important that they are dealt with correctly. Perhaps she should go back and ask him to explain what has happened in her case

Q. Hi. I read in ‘Guide to NHS dental Services’ that white fillings are provided by NHS(doesn’t specify front or back). I called a few practices to ask this and I was told that white fillings are available only for the front teeth. But my children had white fillings at the back and didn’t pay anything. So which is the truth?
A.
I would recommend that you contact the BDA as I have not been involved with NHS dentistry for many years

Q. I had a white filling placed on one of my front teeth a few years back, I don’t think the dentist was comfortable with the bonding procedure, and since then the surface of that tooth is lumpy and uneven. Would it be possible to have a dentist “smooth” the tooth out by buffing or polishing it? Thank you.
A. Go back and see your dentist and explain this I am sure they will be able to polish the tooth and make it smoother.

Q. In my most recent dentist visit, my dentist had replaced several of my silver amalgam fillings with composite ones (not sure which exact type but it did involve UV light and some sort of bonding agent). One of the teeth was a Molar with pretty big cavity the filling covered most of the top of the tooth/chewing surface). Afterwards, I read online that specifically for Molars and certain cavities (not sure which ones) composite fillings are recommended less than silver (amalgam) ones due to increased problems with leakage, less longetivity (about 5 yrs less than amalgam), and if compromised higher chances of having to do a root canal to fix it. At the same time, I am pretty sure he used the most recent version of composite filling used in US – because he just recently started using it and was REALLY proud of it. So the material was the latest version, not sure about his technique though since its my first experience with this particular filling method. This made me concerned, since the cavity I had was pretty deep and another dentist (couple of years back) warned me that next time I might have to do a root canal because of the depth of the cavity. My question is was my current dentist right in replacing my old amalgam fillings for a big cavity in my molar – the cavity was at the top of the tooth (chewing surface) with composite fillings instead of using silver amalgam again?
A. I do not use amalgam in my practice, i only use composite for fillings, or if the cavity covers a large part of the tooth surface then i will use a lab made restoration called a porcelian inlay. However this restoration is a lot more costly.
Without seeing your teeth, in my opinion your dentist did the right thing by replacing your fillings with composite as amalgam is not adhesive and in some cases more of the tooth surface has to be taken away in order for the filling to stay in. For this reason i do not use amalgam, along with the obvious reason of its appearance.
Kind regards

Q. Dear Dr. Patel, At the age of around 12 I chipped my front tooth after a fall leaving less than half of my front tooth behind. I had a filling applied to this, but the tooth has gradually darkened over time. I’ve heard that this is due to internal bleeding within the tooth. Yesterday, this filling fell out and I am yet again left with half a tooth. The tooth in question is a few shades darker than my other front tooth and it looks very bad. I’m an 18 year old on a gap year, with no money at all. Would the NHS be able to help with my problem because it really looks awful? Thank you
A. You should be able to get NHS treatment you might need a root canal treatment and maybe a crown, or a bonded filling and internal tooth whitening.

Q. Hi. I had SEVERAL fillings done about 1.5 months ago, and on occasion, those teeth will hurt, especially when I chew gum. It seems that the sensitivity to hot and cold has diminished considerably since I had the fillings done, but most times when I chew gum, those teeth hurt. The fillings are white, not silver. Is this normal?
A. hi
this problem can occur several factors play a part the depth of the filling/closeness to the nerve.
the technique by which it was placed .
as symptoms are improving over time -give it a bit longer or contact your dentist to check everything is ok as it may settle

Q. When I was younger I chipped my tooth so went to my local dentist and they gave me a white filling that was fine until recently when it became discoloured. What is the procedure for fixing this problem? Will the old filling need to be removed and replaced or can this old filling be whitened? I know you will have to treat each case individually but what is the usual procedure? I am currently 16 and have had this filling for about 7 years.
A. If the staining cannot be removed by polishing replacement is normal

Q. Hi Andrew,I recently went to the dentist(the dental clinic)and they said I need 2 small fillings,these are on the lower left and lower right molars.They will use composite filling and they will charge me £186 and £162 for each tooth,plus £79 for each Hygiene visit(2).It’s a private clinic but I find it very expensive,what do you think?
A. As a comparison only, our fees for a medium white filling are £118 and Hygienist session £48, however it maybe more important for you to feel comfortable with your dentist rather than judging on price alone
