Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I hope you can help, I have had both of my upper back teeth out due to gum disease,my gums have receded and now the next visible tooth is wobbly! I am very anxious about my missing teeth as it is and am scared I will lose the next one also.Also my upper lip seems to have gotten more lined. Can you tell me if there is a procedure to build up your gums again and if I would be suitable for a bridge or partial dentures. I am 42 and do not want things to get any worse.

Would there be a way to replace my cracked tooth and screw up them back in place

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, i wanted to ask a few questions about the two teeth at the back of my mouth up the top on the left (molers) one has had root treatment and its going a black colour the other moler next to it has had root treatment but has cracked dont know if my dentist will pull it out but i’ll be aware its missing even though its at the back of my mouth. i asked my dentist about bridge work but he said that because the tooth next to the cracked on has had root treatment in the past he said that it might not be strong enough to hold another tooth. if i were to ask him to remove the two teeth up the top left would there be any proceedures that my dentist could do to replace those teeth for instance two screw in teeth up the back? would be greatful for any feed back thanks

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hello I had a tooth filled about 9 weeks ago. For the first couple of weeks it was sensitive and tender. After that it has become sensitive to hot and cold. Most recently I have had painful headaches and pulsing from that tooth. I am seeing my dentist today. Do you think I need a root canal?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009
Q.
I have two crowns next to each other (canine and next to front). Under pressure from my tongue they move very slightly. Are they coming off? My dentist told me that,because he used a carbon fibre post, he won’t be able to replace it when it goes.
