Hello Justin 🙂 I was wondering if it is possible to have my bottom teeth filed down because they are pretty jagged and I would also like them filed to remove the bruxism marks from grinding the teeth. Is this possible thank you

I was in a lot of pain before my root canal treatment
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Q.
Hi I was in a lot of pain before my root canal treatment but after the first part of the treatment(which was very painful as the dentist said I had some inflamation) I felt no pain at all and it was like a miracle. During my second visit, the dentist spent a lot of time filing in part of my tooth which again was very painful. He then put three long wires into my tooth and took an xray and said he needed to file deeper next visit.He said he wouldn’t be able to root fill the tooth until all the pain had gone when filing inside my tooth.I had this treatment on Wed last week and I am still feeling v. sore. I am really disappointed as I thought all the pain would be over now. Is this normal for soreness to last so long after the second part of the treatment? The dentsit has put medication in my tooth (whatever that is?) What has hapened to the nerve in my tooth? Has the dentist removed/killed it? If so why do I still feel soreness. Many thanks

I have been having treatment for a root canal on 2 teeth
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Q.
I have been having treatment for a root canal on two teeth. My dentist believes that white fillings will be best for these teeth is this the cas as I am aware that crowns may be best. Also a fracture tooth needs repaired. She believes that white filling will be best. Is this also the case? Due to my previous illness of anorexia and bulima for over ten years this has erroded my teeth and has left them in bad shape at the back. Is there anyway I can build these teeth back up again? I am also aware that people can become models for students in college. I would be happy to do this if I was to recieve good dental treatment. Thankyou for your help. Kind Regards

I want to replace my small teeth with crowns and veneers
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Q.
I have very small teeth and a couple missing from the top and bottom that never grew. I had veneers put on my front 5 top teeth when I was 15 (11 years ago now). One of them has chipped and my gums have receeded anyway since then and so I will need them replaced soon. Also I want to have my bottom teeth done if possible at the same time. They are very small and so would I have veneers or crowns put on them? Also, if I was to get my top and bottom teeth done, do dentists usually tend to charge a fixed price per tooth or would there be any scope for negotiating a discount for the number of teeth? Many thanks

my maryland bridge keeps falling out
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Q.
Hi Dr.Glaister I am now 32years and I sing in public! I’ve had Braces for Three years from 2000 – 2003 because my Canine teeth were next to my front teeth! After the space was made between my front teeth and Canines Maryland Bridges were placed! They fall out almost every month since! This is very frustrating, tell me, what do you recommend? Should I do the Traditional Bridges because implants are way to costly for me? Help!!!!!!!!
