After an x-ray I was told I will need root canal treatment and have been referred to a specialist. Why is this?

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
Q.

I have recently been told, following routine xray/check-up, that I need root canal treatment for a front upper tooth which is part of a bridge.
She said even though I am symptom free I may be ok for 1 or 10 years but this needs doing.
She also said I need to be referred privatley as she does not have the equipemtn due to the bridge involvement.

WHY?

What should I do if I have black broken teeth to gum level and suffer from diabetes?

Thursday, November 25th, 2010
Q.

Hi. I have front teeth with two front ones broken at gum level. I have no side teeth apart from two or three that are at gum level, black and broken.

Would a bridge be suitable for a tooth that is fractured and another that is deeply filled?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I am a 53 year old female. Have always taken great care of my teeth. Over recent years have been treated by my dentist and hygienist for receding gums. Visited my dentist yesterday with what I though was just a crack in one of my old fillings, only to be told that the tooth was actually fractured vertically. It is in my upper jaw and third from the back. I have a wide smile and it will definitely show if I have it removed. My dentist advised that it may last for a year, (he drilled out the old filling and repacked it)
He was less than helpful about my options and I left the surgery confused and shocked. My question is would I be better off having an implant or a bridge to replace the gap. One of the teeth that would be needed to support the bridge is deeply filled. Also a guide to how much this would cost would be useful.
Thank you very much for your time.

How long will it take to get used to my new bridge?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

Hello Doc.
Last week I had some bridge work done to replace a 2-tooth lower plate, which I’ve lived with for over 20 years, but which was becoming irritating and ill-fitting. The bridge looks fantastic, but feels very unwelcome in my mouth and I’m starting to panic that I’ve made the wrong decision by having this work done. All I can feel in my mouth is this bridge; eating has become a depressing affair, since the bridge feels like its dominating my taste buds. Will this discomfort subside? How long should I wait before deciding to have the thing removed? Please help!

A.
At least 3-6 months
