I got a second crown to replace incorrectly fitted one but it’s sensitive to cold/hot drink & food. What should I do?

Friday, October 15th, 2010
Q.
Two weeks ago I had a porcelain crown fitted to one of my front teeth. This is the second crown to be fitted in the past 6 months as the first one, a lava crown, was not fitted correctly and I had sensitivity to both hot and cold drinks/foods etc. Unfortunately I am now experiencing the same sensation with this new crown. Is this right?? The two temporary crowns that were fitted inbetween were perfect and I had no sensation at all. I would appreciate your advise on what I should do. Thanks ,

I am moving to Australia in 4 months and want my gapped teeth that stick out sorted beforehand, and whitening. Is this feasible?

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
Hi rob, Im 28 and live in the uk but im moving to australia in about 4 months and want to get my teeth sorted out before i go and would like your advice and an idea on costs please. my teeth are in quite a bad way and i hate my smile. my front 2 teeth stick out and i have a gap on my tooth at the side of my front one. I think if i have the top 4 at the front of my mouth replaced and then my teeth whitened then i think it would improve my smile . Im not looking for a hollywood smile but i do want them to improve my confidence and look good at the best price possible. my front 2 teeth that stick out and i want replaced are caps that i had when i was younger due to an accident. They have started to come away from the gum and look old now.,

Is it worth saving tooth that has traces of bacteria in the gum around it? Or should I have treatment such as dental implants?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Many years ago a lower molar was removed and not replaced with either inplant or denture. Over time the molar to the left of the remove one has borne most of the pressure when eating on that side. It has amalgum filling from past dentistry. In recent years eating hard food caused a little discomfort and it was assume there could be a fracture of this molar. Within the last three weeks the gum around this tooth has become inflamed and sore and I have a swelling and tenderness of the glands (not seen in the mouth) under my chin. There was alot of pain and radiation for about two days which calmed down to what is now a background soreness and slight ache. An exray has revealted some grey around the tooth root between the root and the gum indicating bacteria I believe hense the swelling and soreness but no evidence of an infection (no puss)! Apparently the tooth has some slight movement. There is no sign of decay. I have never been advised to have a bridge or cap to take the pressure of this molar so I guess it has suffered a bit. It would seem either a denture or inplant is now needed to fill the existing gap. My question is, is it worth trying to save the molar I am having these problems with in which case I will would need only one inplant (or a cap I guess?) or should this molar be removed rather than risks problems in the future with it and go for a double implant? I hope I have given you enough information here. PS Root canal work has been discounted in my case – my dentist feels extraction is the best option. Regards,
A.
