Ive a decay under the mid left lower tooth is there any other option other than extraction

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have decay deep under the mid left lower tooth caused by biting into food and it remaining trapped. An xray was taken showing the shadow. My dentist has stated that extraction is the only answer as it would be impossible to seal as it’s below the gum line and moisture would disolve any works. She suggests a denture. Implants are out of the question due to the expense. She has done excellent root canal work on the other side of my mouth so this work does not faze her. She said this would not be an option in this case. Can you suggest something? I am loath to remove a healthy tooth that I tend to bite on. I do not have any lower back teeth on that side so its important that I try to keep it. I am on anti biotics in the meantime. Thank you. Regards

My upper back teeth at the right side have a hole which looks black in my gums what do i do

Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Q.
My gums have always been red and I’ve found it difficult to remove plaque so when I go to the dentist it is always being taken off. However recently I have had very painful gums and teeth in different areas of my mouth, and self diagnosed myself with gingivitus. Today I felt a pain in my upper back teeth at the right side and had to have a look, I have a hole which looks black in my gum, I’m certain I already have both top wisdom teeth, what could be the problem? I am terrified of the dentist but scared to death that my teeth will get worse. Please help.

Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr. Andrew, I would like to whiten my teeth however i think i have some cavities. I heard that whitening my teeth while having cavities is not good.. Why is that so? I can try to whiten my teeth, however, I don’t think I can afford to treat my cavities because i do not have the dental insurance. Is it okay to try some teeth whitening products while having cavities? How would it affect my teeth? Thanks!

Im 20 and having major dental damage due to decay should i go through with 8 extractions?

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I just went to a local dentist last week. The dental team took x-rays. I have known for awhile my teeth aren’t in good condition due to major decay-I have a fear of the dentist. So what the team told me wasn’t much of a surprise. The dentist recommends I go to an oral surgeon for 8 molar extractions. This isn’t even counting my wisdom teeth that are beginning to break through. I’m only 20 years old and I find all of this to be very tramatizing already. I dread going to a surgeon to have 8 teeth removed at once as this dentist suggested. I’m sure my mouth is full of infection. I feel pain occasionally. I go back to the dentist for a filling for another tooth tomorrow. My question is at my age (20) and having major dental damage due to decay should I go through with 8 extractions? Please let me know.
