Baby tooth at fifty, when it falls what should I do?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I currently have a baby tooth in the front of my mouth, in the upper row, on the side of the mouth. I am worried when it falls out, I am in my 50’s, what should I do. An implant or false tooth? I really do not want a bridge. What can I do? The tooth has been bonded twice in the past. It is discolored. The other teeth, beside it are whiter.

In pain after getting veneers and crowns

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had 7 porcelain veneers put on my top teeth. I have had pain ever since. I cannot drink anything hot or cold because they are so sensitive. I also had 2 teeth crowned in the back of my mouth and they hurt as well. My dentist gave me a prescription for toothpast that is supposed to add fluoride, but it has done absolutely nothing to help. Is there anything that will relieve my pain. I hate these things.

Can a 70 year olds teeth be too white?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
Can an older (almost 70years) have teeth that are too white? My husband is needing a bridge on his lower front teeth and caps on 4 of his upper teeth (all but his canines.) He has whitened his teeth, but they are still quite yellow. Should we use a veneer on his canines and make them whiter? (I realize without seeing the color, you will only be giving me a general opinion.) My primary question is: Can you go too white on a 70 year old. Does it just look unnatural? Thank you for your time in answering this question.

I have to have root canal treatment and the dentist has agreed to avoid adrenaline in my anesthetic but are there any side effects of the injection without adrenaline and will it be ok for this proceedure?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, On 2 occasions in the recent past I have suffered a panic attack after infiltration of the local anaesthetic whilst having fillings, I know this is due to the adtenaline in the injection ( and my fear) I now have to have root canal treatment and the dentist has agreed to avoid adrenaline but are there any side effects of the injection without adrenaline and will it be ok for this proceedure? Is there any chance the medication can affect other parts of thee body. Many Thanks

My white composite filling is ruff and is concave in shape

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had an old amalgam filling removed by an NHS dentist and replaced with a glass resin composite filling and topped at the end with a white one because it was so large. I ended up having to pay for this privately as the NHS don’t do white fillings. My only problem with it now is that it feels rough and rather than it being shaped to look like the contours of a molar, my dentist left a concave shape in the middle of it. Is this normal? As far as I was aware white composite fillings are supposed to be time consuming, but somehow my dentist did three of these in 40 minutes.
