Q.

I HAVE TWO PERMANENT FIXED DENTAL BRIDGES.

THE LOWER LEFT BRIDGER CONSIST OF A TOTAL OF 4 AND THE LOWER RIGHT IS

CANTILEVER BRIDGE FOR A TOTAL OF 3.

THE LOWER LEFT HAS COME OUT ONCE AND THE LOWER RIGHT TWICE.

THE FIRST TIME THAT LOWER RIGHT CAME OUT MY DENTIS CEMENTED THE CANTILEVER BRIDGE WITH RELY- X3M CEMENT. HOWEVER, THE BRIDGE CAME OUT AGAIN. I GOING TO SEE MY DENTIS ON MONDAY.

I SPOKE TO MY DENTIS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SHE CLAIM THAT THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT I AM GRINDING MY TEETH. I DO NOT BELIEVED I DO BECAUSE MY WIFE SAID THAT I SLEEP WITH MY MOUTH OPEN.

I HAVE TRIED TO WEAR A DENTAL GUARD AT NIGHT HOW EVER I HAVE BREATHING PROBLEMS WHEN I WEAR THE DEVICE.

I HAVE RETENTION CYST IN THE LEFT MAXILLARY MY EAR NOSE DR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO TAKE CLARITIN AND TO SPRAY MY SINUS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATION REGARDING MY PROBLEM.

I can’t afford to have my bridge replaced but it looks awful, can it be made to look normal?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Dr.Solanki,A year and a half ago,my regular dentist made me a bridge of 6 upper teeth,I have been unhappy since.I have expressed to him that when I DON’T smile big and when I’m talking,it looks like I don’t have any teeth!The teeth are perfectly aligned and look nice at the gumline but I can bite down on something flat and it is obvious they are arched upward.I told him this shortly after it was made but he just now finally tells me he can add on to my existing bridge with some substance to make them longer, and if it does not work he can remove the added on part and my bridge will not be damaged.Can this be done sucessfuly,look normal and hold up,and be removed without any damage?I cannot afford to replace this one(he says it cannot be removed anyway,and he has’nt offered)but this is interfering with my self confidence that I was supposed to be gaining from this procedure. Please help!

After an x-ray I was told I will need root canal treatment and have been referred to a specialist. Why is this?

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
