I’m not happy with the dental crowns that were made, what can I do if they’re still not right after another fitting?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have had 2 sets of crowns during 39 year period for front top teeth and am now in process of having new ones. I have always had a gap between my teeth and the crowns have been made slightly wider to accommodate this. At the fitting today of these crowns they looked like spades – more width than depth and as dentist put it “characterization” on them (looked like shrivelled prunes instead of smooth teeth). I refused them and insisted a new impression was made and to remove the “characterization” that she insisted she paid extra for. This was NHS, as my others were. The previous sets looked fantastic but these are horrific. If when it comes to fitting them and they still don’t right what can I do?,

My back molar is turning black, why is this?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Q.
I am a 24 year old female. I’ve always had weak teeth, but healthy. I think my oral hygeine is great, as I usually brush 4 times per day and floss twice daily. I just noticed that the back molar on the upper right side of my mouth is turning black (only half of it). I have a filling in that tooth that I received around the age of 15 or 16. I am certain that it was not black last week. I have recently been put on antibiotics and allergy medication (Levaquin, Allegra, and Nasonex) for a sinus infection. The tooth doesn’t hurt at all. I have made an appointment with my dentist, but could not get an appointment until two weeks from now. Should I try to get an appointment with another dentist sooner? What type of prognosis should I expect?,
A.
It sounds as though the fillin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
