What is the best option to replace soon to be missing tooth?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr. Patel, My question is about the # 2 molar that has a crown and recently abcessed. I have been told that the infected tooth can not have root caan therapy and cannot be saved. I am a 61 year old female and I have worked very hard after not having dental when growing up to keep my natural teeth. The last tooth has a large filling and the tooth on the other side is crowned. I am disabled with limited funds. What is the best solution for the soon to be missing tooth and should I look for a surgeon to remove this tooth? Thank you,

Could abscess be caused by dental crown?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
When receiving a crown, should the crown touch the gum line? or is it ok for there to be a gap from the crown to the gum line? I ask this because I went into the dentist and received two crowns on both my baby teeth, in which I do not have an adult took under it. The one tooth where the crown touched the gum line resulted in being just fine, However; the other crown on my other tooth did not touch the gum line and I received an abscess tooth. Could it be the reason I received this abscess tooth be caused from improper fitting of the crown? It s it possible for food to get into my gums that way?,

Confused as I cannot find a reason for my smelly and rotting teeth.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I had a veneer on my lateral incisor around 4 years ago. Last year I noticed that the tooth was discoloured around the gum line and had a bad smell/taste and feeling of pressure – never pain. After several courses of antibotics my Dentist performed root treatment, twice as it was unsuccessful the first time. My tooth still smells and tastes bad and my dentist is baffled – any ideas? I think perhaps there is a gap between the veneer and my tooth and that the front shell of my tooth is rotting, could that be the case – is there anything can be done? Thanks

I feel results from braces are abnormal

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, i’m 18 and i had braces for 2 years when i was 13. since then i havent had any trouble until recently when my lateral incisor has felt slightly loose. this was one of the teeth which moved the most during my orthodontic treatment. in the past few weeks it has felt slightly painful in what im assuming is the root. i have noticed it has moving so i’ve had to wear my retainers every night nd they feel tight around this tooth whenever i put them in. is this normal? i have also read that these sort of symptoms can be related to sinus problems, is this likey? i did mention that my tooth felt loose to my dentist but he said it was about 0.5 on the scale of looseness and not to worry, did he miss something? generally my teeth are healthy and i have not noticed any abcesses.

Is there a private dentist to treat our son who has abscess?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, our son has special needs (learning difficulties etc). We have seen the community dentist who wants to give him G.A and remove all his teeth that have cavities/ gone bad. We’ re not happy with this- we feel any tooth that can be filled should be!! We’re wondering if there’s a private dentist that would treat our son, and keep as many teeth as poss!! He’s waited 6 months already for an appt to have a bad tooth removed that we know has had an abcess on it!! Please help!!
