Q.
Hello Dr Safeer Butt and thank you for taking the time to consider my question. ihave 2 teeth that are badly decayed through years of fizzy drinks and not very good oral hygiene.the decay has eaten through the enamel leaving a dark browndecay underneath.generaly speaking is the fact that i have no pain orjust the normall sensitivity to hot/cold a good thing as regards treatment options.there is also no undue pain when pressure is put on teeth.the teeth in question are my upper central and lateral incisors.i would be interested in your opinions of possible options if as im hoping the decay has not yet reached the pulp/nerve as im not in ahy discomfort. im sorry the question was so long.thank you for your time.

Hello. In this case decay has to be removed as it is bacterially rich and will continue to progress. Then you can restore with large fillings or stronger crowns

Hi there, I’ve banged a decayed tooth and now I’m in constant pain. I need it removed asap and under sedation, as I am very fearful of dentists. Howfast can I get this done and what is the approximate cost? Many thanks.
