My last lower molar is cracked through and I have a missing molar next to it. I have been advised to have a bridge to attach to the cracked molar with a pontic to bridge the gap and the bridge to attach to the next tooth in which has been filled twice. Is it likely that the bridge will be viable and give longevity given the fact that the anchor molar is cracked?
I have a toothache in my bottom molar, no 6 on my left. I assumend something was rotten and rushed off to the dentist. He checked it out carefully, and found nothing wrong. He X-rayed the tooth, the root from both sides, and said there was nothing wrong. He found a lot of plaque on the inside of my bottom teeth and especially on the sore one. He said he thought that the tooth was reacting supsiciously to the plaque. We had it removed by th oral hygienist. Now the plaque is gone, and the tooth is still sore. It is sensitive to pressure, hot and cold liquids. It is not excruciating, and it doesn’t seem to get worse. It just stays like that. I’ts been more than a month.
A friend said that one’s teeth are linked to certain organs, and apparently, that tooth is linked to the spleen or the stomach – she said it is on the same “meridian”, so if there is nothing wrong with the tooth, it might be that there is something wrong with the spleen. I would appreciate your comments on this, or how to proceed from here.
If the dentist didn’t find anything wrong, and I paid through my neck for the appointment, I can’t imagine going back. What more can he do than all the Xrays etc.?
I have a crack on my front tooth which is a crown, is there a way to have it fixed without replacing the whole tooth?
I have 4 wisdom teeth that are not fully erupted and are impacted. they have been bothering me for about 3 years now. I have to wait to see a dentist for a month and i have an upper right cracked molar next to the wisdom tooth that also is painful.I have been experiencing sharp, electricity shooting pain throught the right side of my face and body out the cracked molar .What is going on to me? It happens out of the blue. I have told the dentist when I first saw him and he didnt answer to what I have asked him. I cant bare with the pain any longer.It is worst then giving birth to a child.
I had a front tooth root filling in early Nov. Had been chipped & badly cracked umpteen years ago but earlier this year became tender to pressure. Was/got infected. 5 lots of antibiotics, 1 temp crown [the tooth cracked further], umpteen appts for ‘cleaning’ inside & more pain than I thought I could stand. Then endodontic referral [early Dec], different internal medication, and it did improve slightly but still needed full pain relief [max paracetamol & max ibuprofen daily]. Was advised it might ‘settle down’ … hasn’t. Returned to endo in early Jan, refilled again, again did improved slightly but still very painful to any sort of touch & need regular pain relief and now seems to be getting worse again. Have been told it might be phantom nerve pain and not to have tooth out until seen by neurologist, which could take months on NHS. I think it far more likely infection is still lurking although medication keeps is from forming obvious absess or that root is actually cracked as well & I would get relief from extraction. Gums very sore in area too. What is your opinion please ?
Hi
Just looking for a bit of advice, I have a hole through the middle of my two front teeth and it has cracks on one of the teeth and a gap in the one next to it, was wondering what could be done to rectify this and rough costs? Would a picture help you analyse this?
Regards
I fell on my face cracked my upper right tooth nothing fell off there is a visible crack close to the gums and is very sensitive the other front tooth did chip like a corner of the tooth and i moved out of place a bit. I would like to know my options to get my teeth fixed. I’d prefer reversible procedures with minor drilling and pain. Thank you
Hello, I have had pain in my back tooth on eating or drinking anything cold for over a year now. I recently visited Andrea Ubhi’s dental practise in York, on the first visit I was told I needed root canal treatment, on the second visit that I needed a crown fitting because of a crack in my tooth?! I would be greatful if you could advise me on what do you suggest I do now? Thanks.
I have had RCT on UL6 and was left for 6 months until any other treatment (check up) Just a week before my appointment, this tooth fractured and resulted in being extracted. Would the length of time this tooth was left, in a brittle state, be the reason this fractured? I had finished antibiotics 2 weeks prior to RCT so would infection be reduced? Would a temp crown be fitted in all RCT cases? Thankyou
