Would an onlay stop food becoming trapped in my back teeth?

Friday, December 7th, 2012
Q.

Hi, dr moore. I have a filling which spans the back 2 upper left molars. I have noticed that when I eat I get food trapped, I presumably underneath the filling, which is causing pain and it smells really bad.
My dentist told me that it is because my gum line has shrunk and the food is getting stuck between the gum and the filling.

She said replacing the filling would not necessarily stop the food becoming trapped. another dentist told me that instead I could have a dental onlay but it is much more expensive. Would an onlay stop the food being trap or will it always happen because of a shrunken gum line? I don’t know which option to go for and I need it fixing ASAP. Thank you for any help, kind regards.

Should I have my tooth extracted by an NHS dentist or see if it can be saved by a specialist?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

I have a root canal that has failed and my NHS dentist has advised I can have the tooth removed on the NHS or see a specialist who will advise if it can be saved, the cost of which I would have to pay for as a private patient. The root canal was an NHS treatment originally, do I have any recourse for action as this has failed with the original dentist?? What is the likely cost of specialist treatment and what are the alternative options like an implant rather than paying for the cost of trying to save the tooth??

Root canals, no matter who doe… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
