Is it less painful to have a wisdom tooth extracted or root canal treatment?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi doctor,

My wisdom tooth has got infected. It’s on my upper left jaw. I visited a dentist today and she advised me tooth extraction to be performed in a week’s time. She also prescribed me Ammoxicillin (500mg) to be taken 3 times a day for one week. I am not sure if I should go for a root canal treatment or a tooth extraction. My exams are approaching so I want to go for a treatment which takes less time and gets me back on work asap. I would also like to know which one is a less painful procedure. I am 29, female. Please help.

Thanks, 

A.

I need my decayed front and wisdom teeth replaced with implants, what is the cost?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi Rob,

Last year i had an accident and lost one of my front teeth completely and had the other snapped in half.
I have begun treatment and have since had root canal treatment in the snapped tooth, which has since grayed.

I have been wearing a denture for the last 12 months, but have always had the intention of implants.
I also have very decayed wisdom teeth and am in no doubt that they need pulling.

Firstly I would like to know if my wisdom teeth would hinder any treatments in the front of my mouth?

Secondly would a crown would be suitable for my snapped tooth with it being grey and having undergone root canal? (this would be to go along side an implant for the missing tooth)

And also, I am currently a NHS patient. Other than the obvious cost of the implant, can any of the cosmetic treatment i may be offered be covered by the NHS?

Thank you

A.

Help teeth driving me crazy and I get frequent tooth infections. What can be done?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I have on-going problems with my teeth, resulting in fairly frequent tooth infections. I’m 27 and so far had 3 wisdom teeth extracted and 2 or 3 others due to poor prognosis.
My teeth are a horrid yellow colour, I have one false tooth which I don’t like, various ones that are chipped, breaking down and one with a hole in i. I would like to know my options on getting them sorted. I have been told by my dentist that I have weak enammel due to my asthma and for this reason wouldn’t be able to get them whitened, are veeners my only option and would I be able to get any help from the NHS?
Thanks for you time Dr Mark Hughes. I hope you find the time in your busy schedule to help me with this. Warmest regards.. :)

My buck teeth are a pain in the neck. Can you help?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

Im 37yrs old. over time my two front teeth have been pushed upwards, creating a upside v, but have not overlapped. I think the cause of this was a wisdom tooth, which took many years to come through. Ive since just recently had it removed, and asked my dentist advise if my two front teeth could be straighten. He didnt think a orthodontist could help, and said having them filled or even veneers would solve the problem. i was really hoping he would of refered me to a orthodontist instead, but as he doesnt know any near where i live (my dentist is in Leeds, which im there every so often, but i live in London).. i feel my only option is to have what he has said, but im in two minds if thats what i actually want.. hope you can help.. many thanks

What advice do you have for wisdom teeth that have forced teeth to overlap?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Please could you advise what to do when you have a canine tooth in this case my right, that has grown on top of or at least slightly overlapping the teeth surrounding it. My mouth is small and as my wisdom teeth have emerged all my previously straight teeth bottom and top are becoming more uneven. I would like to have braces perhaps but don’t know if an extraction bottom and top would be required before straightening could start. I would also like to have some whitening done but not sure if it is best to wait until the other problems are sorted first. I have never shown my teeth in a photograph and try not to laugh or smile as i feel it looks bad. If you have any advice i would be grateful.

Could my wisdom tooth be impacted?

Friday, March 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
3 of my wisdom teeth have come out. They haven’t cause me problems, apart from they are all facing the gum outwards (just slightly), but are fine.
But recently my last wisdom tooth has started coming up.
It has broken the skin. But only on one side, and now there is a gap between the wisdom tooth and the other tooth. Does this mean the wisdom tooth is impacted?

A.
Not necesarily as it has just … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
