Hi Andrew. I recently had a bridge fitted it is a two unit bridge. It looks like porcelain bonded to metal. However I broke a piece of the porcelain when it chipped off the metal, I had this fitted at a cost of 1200 euros. I thought it was complete porcelain and was a little shocked to find the metal and I phoned the dentist. They don’t seem very helpful and they kind of make you feel like it’s your fault. Is this a common problem you come across?
Thank you for your help and advice.
I’ve noticed recently doctor that whenever I breathe in, two of my teeth on the left hand side of my mouth hurt. The best way to describe it is that I get a fuzzy feeling. It also hurts to press against and it sometimes hurts to break food up on that side or my mouth when I go to eat. I haven’t eaten or drank anything out of the ordinary. With saying this, the teeth have more recently got more sensitive now with just opening my mouth. I haven’t got pain all the time only when eating but that’s not a lot. Can you tell me what his problem is? Should I go and see my dentist? I not sure it’s that big deal of a problem. Can you help?
Hello there Dr. Moore. I recently had my braces removed, which i have been wearing for 4 years now. I have been having inconsistent appointment with the dentist due to my study schedule and i study pretty far away from the clinic. I had it done at a government clinic, as it it much cheaper. Upon removing the braces, the nurse took a mold of my teeth and i was then informed that i will only be able to receive my retainer about 6 weeks after. Hence, right now i am going through my days without a retainer. I was scared and feeling insecure about my teeth moving out of position as i am not having any form to held my teeth in position, is there anything i can do at the mean time? Will wearing the retainer later on move my teeth back into position if there might be a significant movement of my teeth? I could somehow rather feel that a few of my teeth is moving a little out of position compared to when i took it off 4 days ago, perhaps its the paranoid feeling.
Hope you could give some advice in this and thank you so much in advance.
