I have an infected root at the top of my mouth and need specialist treatment, can you help?
Thursday, March 24th, 2011Q.
Hi Dr Hughes
Approximately a month ago my NHS dentist x-rayed to find that I have a problem with an infection in the root of a top tooth – I have been getting small bumps in the roof of my mouth.
The big problem is that it is part of a bridge involving 5 teeth and the dentist told me that the root would be very difficult to access as it is not well formed. He said it would need specialist treatment to try and save the tooth and would send my x-rays and refer me to a specialist – he hasn’t done this!
Would you be able to help please?
kind regards
How viable will my bridge be if it is attached to a cracked molar?
Friday, March 18th, 2011Q.
My last lower molar is cracked through and I have a missing molar next to it. I have been advised to have a bridge to attach to the cracked molar with a pontic to bridge the gap and the bridge to attach to the next tooth in which has been filled twice. Is it likely that the bridge will be viable and give longevity given the fact that the anchor molar is cracked?
Should I get my tooth bleached after root canal treatment?
Friday, March 18th, 2011Q.
How long after my front teeth got dislodged and placed back with root canal treatment on them can I expect to have discoloured teeth?Do I need non-vital bleaching straight away ?
Is there anything I can do to temporarily mask a discoloured tooth?
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011Q.
Around 6 weeks ago I had a bad fall and damaged my front upper tooth. Since then I had a root canal as the nerve began to die and it has left the tooth severely discoloured. My dentist is reluctant to do anything for a few months as he wants to wait until the colour has stopped changing. I, on the other hand am desperate to get it fixed as I am very self conscious of it. My dentist has suggested that I have a veneer eventually, but is there anything I can do in the meatime to disguise it? Or should I just have the veneer now to save myself this heartache?
After root canal treatment, my tooth broke and dentists say I need more treatment, how can I choose the correct treatment?
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011Q.
Hi Rob,
I avoid going to the dentist at all cost due to a really bad experience with a new dentist after my childhood Dr retired… she really hurt me and I haven’t found one I trust since.
A number of years ago I was in pain and had to visit a private dentist who in all fairness was gentle and provided a full examination with X-rays etc….. he said I needed A LOT of work doing. The first (and only) thing he did was a root canal. This seemed fine once the drilling was over and I went back for the whole to be filled. A month later the tooth split in half & I didn’t go back… eventually the other half snapped and I have been left with a stub (close to gum line) – now a few years further on other teeth are now affected. When I saw the private dentist for the root canal he said I needed at least 8 repairs/fillings yet I recently visited an NHS dentist due to pain & he didn’t even do an x-ray – basically said I needed 1 filling & refused to include a scale & polish.
I don’t know who to believe but I suspect the private dentist was right as my teeth are not exactly healthy! I have no faith in dentist but need to go again as I fear they will fall out. SHould I take the list with me that the private dentist gave detailing work required to see if the new NHS dentist tomorrow will actually prescribe the correct course of treatment?
I’m not sure whether to opt for a root canal or tooth extraction, what do you think?
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Q.
hello
I have been visiting a dentist for months who said i had sensitive teeth, and was told to use toothpaste, however the pain became so bad that i had to call the emergency services.
I went back to the practice and was seen by another dentist (private)who said the tooth had to be pull due to having an abcess. I became tearful because they seem to just want to pull your teeth.
The dentist relieved the pain after approx 1 hour by opening the abcess and dressing the tooth.
He then said an RCT((UL6) was required at £550 and the earliest this could be done was march. Since then the same tooth broke to the gum line, it was refilled and now I am in pain again.
I have also discussed having implants to replace the missing teeth but will now than likely be looking else where for this
Should i continue with the rct of just have the tooth extracted?
I look forward to your reply
thank you
My crown was infected and I strongly think I need a root canal, what should I do?
Monday, March 14th, 2011Q.
For about 6 months I have had a crown that is loose, it caused a lot of pain when it became infected and I was given metrodindazole (or something like that!). The pain has now vanished for some 5 weeks but my dentist says she will not do a “root canal” because it “could” return. Surely lots of things “could” occur but lots of times they “don’t” occur. I feel strongly that an attempt should be made to save my tooth and she will not give any reason for her refusal except the one I have just given you. Please, advise.
Thanks
I think my root canal treatment has caused pain on my left-side and audio transmission, does that sound plausible?
Monday, March 14th, 2011Q.
hello. I am living in the Uk and have been having some problems with my current dentistry. ever since I got a root canal done I experience extreme pain on my left side, involuntary winking and closing of eyes, jerking of limbs, and have even heard what sounds like an audio transmission of some kind. Is there anyway that my dental work could cause all this? thank u.
