What is the cost of having a gold tooth fitted?
Thursday, April 7th, 2011What can I do about preventing food from getting stuck in a crowned tooth?
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011Dear Sir/Madam
I had a crown fitted over a tooth about 2 months ago. The tooth had a filling about 13 years old and my current dentist recommended a crown as opposed to a replacement filling. The filling was done in a way that I could not floss properly between the teeth and that’s why I wanted to do something about it.
About 2 months after the crown being fitted, I constantly have a feeling food gets stuck in between teeth and not even flossing helps. When I run my nail underneath the crown it smells really unpleasantly. Does this mean the food somehow gets underneath the crown and rots there?
I am regretting having the crown fitted.
What is the best thing to do now?
I very much appreciate an answer to my problem.
Yours sincerely

What should I do about my broken crowned tooth?
Monday, April 4th, 2011I have just broken a previously crowned tooth at gum level. What are my options?
Can I have a broken crown fixed even though there is a post underneath?
Monday, April 4th, 2011I have a crowned tooth with a post on the lower right side, third from the back (or 5th from the front).
I bit into some food which was extremely hard a few days ago and since I have been in pain.
This crown has come off once before and was just glued backed in place.
Do you think it would be possible to have this tooth recrowned bearing in mind there is a post underneath too? One dentist I have spoken to said if the crown ever comes off the tooth would have to be removed, but as the crown came off once before and was replaced I cannot see why it could not be recrowned with a new crown and post.
Also, about the middle of last year I had to have a crowned tooth upper right (molar 2nd from the back) removed because of the failure of a root canal filling. The dentist had puctured the root cannal in a few places and the root cannal filling seeped out. I ended up with quite a bad infection, which distroyed some of the bone. I have been finding it more difficult to eat (chew food properly since then and feel this is why I chewed on the hard food using the lower tooth, which now is giving me pain. After all I have lost a molar which is used to grind food.
My whole bite now seems wrong.
I have a little dental insurance, which would probably cover the cost of a new crown, but not pay for implants.
Can you advise the best course of action as I do not want to lose another tooth.
Kind regards
Can you confirm that a quote I’ve had for crowns and implants is correct?
Friday, April 1st, 2011I need 5 upper molars replacing (one has been missing for 5 years, the others require extraction). I am told that i’d need 5 crowns on 4 implants. Also that a probable graft is needed for the area of missing tooth. My quotes so far range from £5000-£6000. Does this seem right? I appreciate quality of system used (i.e. Zimmer / Legacy etc) has a major affect on price, but i want UK based treatment at a reasonable price WITH a 10 year + guarantee
