Friday, February 19th, 2010Are veneers cause of tooth pain?
Friday, February 19th, 2010Q.
Hello Dr Andrew, I have had veneers on my two upper front teeth for over 20 years and they have served me well.However, about 6 weeks ago I developed gingivitis above them and had a small abscess which was addressed by antibiotics.The redness of the gums has gone and so has the abscess but I have had pain in the teeth ever since which is somewhat intermittent.My dentist took X-rays and could not find anything wrong.I told him that I thought I had heard cracking sounds in my mouth but he seems to think my pain is not tooth related..He does not want to take the veneers off because it may not help and said it would cost me £800 to replace them and the bonding is never as good the second time around.He now suggests facial pain clinic if there is no improvement.Could you give me your opinion please.,

Is gum surgery and dentist advice accurate?
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Q.
I have four crowns on my front teeth with root canal done more than 15 years sgo. As I was feeling some pain and pressue so my dentist told me that you have to redo root canal and than new crowns will be put.After root canal was done he said one of my front tooth( 11) which has post has no space on back for crown to be fixed so gum surgery is required to expose the root at least 5-6 mm and bone would also be cut. He said this type of treatment may not be good in long run so best option is to take out the teeth and do implant. He said if we do expose root now and cut the bone 5-6mm and crown is not stable after wards then impalnt is also difficult as some part of bone already ic cut. I need your opinion on this.,

Can root canal be avoided?
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Q.
i had a deep white filling put into a lower molar tooth 8days ago. I had no pain initially but it has now started throbbing and aching to the point where i can feel the pain travelling up to my right ear at times. It is a deep filling and very close to the nerve and so im worried im going to have to go back and have root canal only one week after having the initial, expensive filling done. Is there another possibility for what could be causing this feeling and can root canal be avoided?,

Can a human survive with 26 teeth?
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Q.
Dear doctor, my dentist recomended me to remove two teeth from my upper jaw in order to gain space to push my teeth back with braces. my problem is, i already lack 4 teeth in my mouth ,as they have been removed 11 years back due to crowded teeth.(2 from upper jaw and 2 from lower jaw)…& after that i had lovely straight teeth but recently the upper teeth have come forward. so my doctor says i should remove two of my molars from the upper jaw and push the front teeth back. i have all my 5 molars including the wisdom teeth but already lack the canines in the uper jaw.(coz 11 years back the canines were removed coz they came from above the jaw as i said earlier) so if i remove two molars now, i will be left with 26 teeth in the mouth.so my problems are, is it ok to have 26 teeth? i mean can a human survive with 26 teeth? and is it a good option to remove 2 molars? is it ok to have different number of teeth in two jaws? because if i remove two molars , my upper jaw will only have 12 teeth left and the lower jaw will remain the same with 14 teeth. will it affect the structure of my mouth and face, once i remove the molars? will my cheecks go inside if i remove them? because lot of people say that once teeth have been removed, it courses the cheecks to go in and then the face will look older. so is this true? im now 24 years old. please answer my problems and help me to take a better decision about removing teeth. thank you very much.,

What can be done for tooth fangs due to teeth grinding?
Monday, February 15th, 2010Q.
Hi. I am thirty years old. I have been grinding my teeth in my sleep for most of my adult life. I now wear a gum guard to prevent any further damage. The only trouble is my two front top teeth look more like fangs now and are really thin at the ends. these two teeth are also over crowded and turn into each other. I would love veneers but I am worried about damaging them because of my habbit. Please help. Thanks.,
