My Dentist Said I Need To See A Hygienist For Two Years Now I’ve Given Up Smoking. Will It Really Take That Long?

Tuesday, June 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello. I have very protruding front teeth and one missing to the side of them since my last bridge fell out. I need to have work done, does the gum health affect whether I can have work done or not? I have been to 2 dentists for a check up and one said I have fairly healthy gums and teeth but they would need for me to see the gum specialist for up to 2 years and I will need to stop smoking which I have done. I have become increasingly depressed after this news. I look forward to seeing your advice. Thank you.

Can A Dentist Save My Wobbly Teeth?

Monday, May 20th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I am a sixteen year old and feel absolutely mortified about the state of my teeth. I have never always been a good brusher, and unfortunately am only just realising just how important it is to maintain dental hygiene for making sure I keep healthy teeth. As of a few weeks ago, some of my teeth have become loose, and they are nearly all the front ones, on both the top and bottom. Please could you give me some advice on what a dentist would be able to do to replace the teeth, and give an estimate as to how much it would cost for a course of treatment under the NHS? Thank you.

Lack of explanation of intense pain in tooth with root canal

Thursday, February 14th, 2013
Q.

I had a root canal on tooth #19 about a month ago. I was fine after the procedure. A week later, I went in to get the crown fitting and a post placed. I had intense pain after that was done and 5 days later, I couldn’t feel the left part of my chin and the three teeth next to the one with the root canal felt crowded and tight. I went back to the dentist and he said he had no idea why I was experiencing numbing since they had not done any surgery and therefore, it was unlikely that my nerve had been damaged. He put me on antibiotics and steroids, but it is now it’s now 2 weeks later and the numbness and tightness is still there. The dentist is doing a “wait and see” approach and I am not sure if I should go somewhere else. Could there be more harm in waiting for the numbness to go away? Or is it possible that the nerve just needs time to heal? Please advise me!

Can you explain the flashes of pain I am getting in my tooth?

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011
Q.

Can mild tooth clenching cause gum swelling?
I’m 50, have a lot of fillings, and suddenly started having flashes of pain in a lower back tooth (6th from the front) with heat esp but also cold and sugar. It’s had fillings before. It got bad but the day before I saw a dentist it gradually went away. The dentist X-rayed it and found nothing wrong at all. Then it started up again. The pain seemed to echo in the top tooth and along my lower jaw. The next dentist likewise found nothing wrong on an X-ray, and no extra pain when he pressed the gum next to the root, but found a small piece of apple skin and removed it and told me to drip an antibacterial mouth wash into the gum/tooth lining with my tooth brush. The flashing pain cleared up but the tooth remained sensitive. Now there is swelling of the gum below the tooth low down at the jaw line and a little more pain than usual. I noticed when I relax to sleep I snug my lower jaw into my upper jaw firmly, and that the first point of contact is on that tooth. I think this was since some dental work done a year ago. Could this be the cause of the pain? Thank you for your time.

My sons tooth enamel is cracked and decaying, what could have caused this?

Friday, March 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi Mark

My son, who had fluoride during his foetal development, breast feeding and for years as fluoride tablets, has dental fluorosis.

The enamel on his teeth seems very hard but with fine cracks in it in places, under which there has been found to be decay which could not be found with a dental probe.

Do you happen to know what could have caused this problem?

I would very much welcome your response.

Thank you in anticipation of a response.
