I was recently obliged to have a bottom far rear molar tooth canal treated

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I was recently obliged to have a bottom far rear molar tooth root canal treated, but when I went to an NHS dentist afterwards for a crown he told me that wouldn’t be necessary for six months. Now I read that uncrowned root canal teeth are at risk of fracturing especially with a heavy bite like mine. What is your opinion given that I would be hard pushed to finance private crown treatment having already laid out, what for me is a very large sum of money (£560) for the canal work. Also, after four weeks the treated tooth is still sensitive to the touch (though no actual toothache as such). Is this a cause for concern? Thanks for your advice

I am 56yrs old and have been ashamed of my protruding upper and lower teeth

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am 56yrs old and have been ashamed of my slightly protruding upper and lower teeth for so long. I also suffer with a degree of gum disease and teeth whitening has not worked for me. Is there a treatment (not braces / Invisalign) which allows the upper and lower sets to be better aligned / positioned which does not impair the bite and for veneers or other treatment to improve the look and colour?

A.
You could have veneers/ crowns… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had a root canal done on one of my middle lower teeth

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I had a root canal done on one of my middle lower teeth about 10 years ago due to an abcess. I had no trouble until a few months ago when the tooth started to fall apart. My dentist told me i needed a crown. He has taken the original tooth down to gumline and inserted 4 small pins and built a little square platform for the porcelain over metal tooth to cement to. The tooth fitted ok until last week when it fell off after only being on 2 or 3 months. I am having it re-fitted in a week after it has been re-cleaned. Im wondering whether he needs to insert a post to stop it from falling off again? The other problem is that ive had bad breath ever since he fitted it….there is a hairline gap between it and my gum which i can get toothfloss right under. Am i going to be stuck with this forever or is it just poorly fitted?

Lower middle teeth have very f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
