My Maryland bridges keep falling out, what can be done?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hello,
I have had two maryland bridges in on the top (the last teeth before the big ones…). the first time they were placed in the early 1990s by an american dentist- one of them is still in place. the second one started falling out in november 2007. Finally mu dutch dentist made a new bridge- and placed it in in october 2008.It has fallen out twice since then… is this to be expected or is there something wrong with the construction she made? what could be wrong with the bridge and what could be done? ( i am extremely careful with the foods i eat!- so that is not the problem). Thanks for your advice!

Is there such a thing as a half crown, because I’m not sure if my new crown is correct?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I just had a crown fitted (6 upper left!), when the dentist pushed it in I heard a crack!, I thought maybe it broke in half, but he did not say a thing about it. Then he applied some “cement” and my crown has a 45 degree “cemented” line across it??? I believed crown should cover the whole of the tooth. When I went back 3 days (for a filling, on the other side of my mouth) later and questioned him about it he said that it was because of the angle of the crown to fit the remaining tooth. So basically I would like to know if there is such things as “half” crown basically, also the base of that crown is not very “tooth shape”, but he told me that was fine… Could you enlight me regarding this matter. Thank you for your time and consideratin.,

I’m still experiencing pain from root canal treatment I had done months ago, what should I do?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
I had a root canal done the beginning of April 2010. I still have lots of pain. Had a CT scan done, it showed that several (about 35) peices of “cement” were left at the bottom of the root canal. Any thoughts on this? I’m gonna have it pulled cause I don’t know what else to do. Thanks in advance for you reply.,

Do you need an orthodontist to alter and reshape the cement or can a dentist do it?

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Q.
Andrew, I have a bonded retainer on my upper teeth from orthodontic treatment but the cement glued on the wire feels uneven. Do you need an orthodontist to alter and reshape the cement or can a dentist do it? The last dentist I asked to alter it damaged it so I am thinking of favouring orthodontists but just interested in what you think. Thanks,
A.
it might be best for the ortho… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can any other dental experts other than orthodontists fix the damaged cement on my retainer?

Monday, May 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi Andrew I just have a general question regarding dental work. I have a bonded retainer on the back of my front teeth to keep them straight and together but a small part of the cement holding the wire there has chipped and so I am feeling quite a sharp edge on it (a bit like how if you shatter glass you get that sharp ‘nicking’ feel to it) which is making my tongue red and sore. I’ve been back to the orthodontist who applied the cement and he says that he can’t see anything wrong with it but it wasn’t like it before and its causing me a lot of discomfort for my mouth. Are there any other dental experts apart from orthodontists who can fix the damaged cement again so it doesn’t have a sharp edge to it anymore? I think the only way my orthodontist who applied the cement originally will only fix it if a substantial part of it comes off but currently its got a chipped edge to it on one side which is uncomfortable in the mouth. Thanks,
A.
