Does Composite Filling Loosen Your Teeth?
Monday, April 27th, 2015I’ve Had A Composite Filling And Now I Suffer From Sensitivity. Is This Normal?
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014Hello Dr Moore. I have had a composite filling along and below the gum line of my bottom back molar as the gum has receded. Since having had this done I’ve suffered with high sensitivity so now can’t even use mouthwash as it is hyper-sensitive. Is this normal with this type of treatment? I’m worried about brushing it as it’s already fallen out four times and every time I go back, the dentist is having to grind a bit more of my tooth in order for the filling to stick. I’d really like some help with this. Thank you for your time.
Hello Dr Marcus, I’d Like A Durable Way Of Mending My Chipped Tooth.
Tuesday, November 5th, 2013 Hello Doctor Marcus,
I have a front tooth (second left) which is chipped (approx 30% of tooth), I have had a composite filling done in the past but it keeps falling out. I would prefer a more reliable and durable fix, but I do not want to have a crown just yet. Is a porcelain filling a possible option. I’d also like to know the cost as well please? Also I’m thinking about teeth whitening. Thank you, really look forward to hearing your advice.
How do I go about getting my chipped tooth fixed?
Wednesday, December 5th, 2012Hi there
i have nice teeth all round but i have a problem with my two front teeth, as i teen i may have chipped them and i have noticed that the “chip” is getting bigger. The chip is in the middle of my two front teeth.
i was wondering if it is possible to file them to make them appear rounded? My two front teeth are large anyway so i do feel that this is possible? Would they both have to be altered? I don’t know how to go about getting this done. please get back to me asap….
Thanks
Why are my composite fillings so sensitive?
Wednesday, September 26th, 2012 Hi,
Several months ago I had an amalgam filling replaced with a nice new composite one. I noticed that several weeks after the filling was replaced I began to get quite moderate sensitivity with that particular tooth, and was advised to massage the area with a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. This provided only minimal relief, so I stopped using it, as I thought it may actually be making thingss worse. I am interested in the enlighten tooth whitening system, however Im pretty scared that I may get some difficulties with that one particular tooth, and be in a lot of pain should I go ahead, What should I expect in terms of the sensitivity aspect of this system. Im really interested in going ahead with it, but not if Im likley to be in a lot of pain. Could you advise please.
Kind regards
What are the possible treatments to close gaps in my front teeth and how much would that cost?
Friday, November 26th, 2010 Hello, I have a gap in my two top front teeth, the rest of my teeth are in line and healthy, as I have had braces before. But after the braces came out they put in a permanent wire behind the two top teeth to stop the gap re appearing, but it still came back. So i was wondering would there be a cosmetic solution that would just make that disappear? like make it look like its just my teeth?
thank you for any advice you could give me, also if you could say how much something like that might cost?

Surgery is the last option for me, how can I fix my front tooth?
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010I have a pretty complicated issue with one of my front tooths (I believe 11) which has gone through root cancal a long time ago. It started hurting 5 months ago and when I went to the dentist to have it checked, I was told that I have to do an apicoectomy since he and another dentist could not find the canal. The entire canal has been sealed with a composite / filling exactly the same color as my tooth. He tried to drill half way but I started feeling some pain. He said he doesn’t want to take the risk since he might puncture the canal wall. Any suggestions as to what would be my best recourse? I was hoping surgery to be the last option. Thank u.,
Can I use a tooth whitening pen on my enamel and composite?
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010I have some composite on my teeth to smooth out chipped edges. Can I use a tooth whitening pen on my enamel and composite? Will it be safe and effective? I was told I could not use laser whitening because composite cant be whitened and I would end up with 2-coloured teeth. There is a pen which claim to have no peroxide.Could I use that one or another with peroxide?,
Questions regarding braces and overlapping teeth..
Friday, June 4th, 2010Hi, I had braces when i was in high school. they were on for 18 months i think. the top ones were removed first and slowly i started noticing an overlap on my front teeth. In 2008 i had the overlapped tooth filed a little so it wouldn’t look so out of place. have a few questions: (1) will the filing down of my tooth affect the end result should i wish to have my overlap straightened? (2) what would be the most cost effective yet permanent solution which is not obvious? (3) I have fixed retainers on the back of my bottom front teeth (from high school days), are they meant to be there for life?,
