Im having bone augmentation and im experiencing extreme pain what could be causing this?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi After having bone augumentation two weeks ago I am experiencing pain, (like throbbing pressure), headaches, inner ear problems (buzzy,blocked ear,but no pain) above the area where the proceedure took place. My dentist said that I should not be experiencing pain now and that it should be settling down. He has not offered to Xray the area again but did offer me a course of antibiotics. He was concerned that I should be feeling discomfort after all this time but did not offer any answers to my discomfort. What could be causing this? Many Thanks

I have my caps on my second front tooth and my gums are reciding again what can be done

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi I first have a question. When i was 11 i fell my front tooth came out and was put back in but the second front tooth next to it had to have a root canal at 18 i had it capped, within 6 months gums receded cap were really badly done,second time the caps were ok, but now my gums are reciding again and it does not look pleasant, am still very young, i fear losing my tooth in the process of capping and re-capping,i dont think tooth has a post. I was looking into your surgery and services as now that i can have all procelain cap without the metal plate, but is that a strong solution for a front tooth with root canal, are they as strong as porcelain with metal caps? i don’t want embarassing issues with a cap coming off? Do you provide this service, as i want my confidence back and want to come to someone who is a qualified dentist and a good cosmetic dentist please get back to me, i want to invest in my teeth wisely now that i can. Thank you
