Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi, im getting a bridge put in my mouth, but during fitting, the bridge rocks from the anchor to the front teeth. forgive the non tech terms but from canine to one past canine top teeth. is this normal during fitting? he’s assuring me that will be fine by cementing them. this is the 3rd bridge he’s tried to give me, the first 2 one didn’t fit, the other wasn’t at all what we talked about, or even close to the first bridge in shape. i also needed him to make the teeth slightly thicker in the front two teeth for a more solid occlusion. i could barely bite my nails! what should i tell my dr?

After root treatments one of my tooth has gone loose and about to break off

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Just after 4 years after root treatments on my discoloured Front right no 1 tooth has gone loose about to break off. Went to my usual nhs dentist who offered no important info, paid to visit expensive cosmetic dentist who done digital x-ray n told me its worst poss fracture of tooth said he would not crown it as he thinks its unethical. Im a nurse practitoner and not daft when it comes to x-rays and treatments. Basically looks like an oblique fracture quite far into root. NHS dentist has aquacelled or whatever meantime but cant see me again for temp crown till 22 Dec! Looking for informed info into implant cos as a nurse i simply cant afford to pay up £3000 unless this is my only or main option. looking for advice asap please. Thank you. Oh and cant be off work for vanity reasons already been off today! Need proper solution pronto. Thank you.

What can I do to replace my bridge so that teeth either side are not disclosed

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi I currently have a bridge at the front which was done about 7 years ago, however it was done with a metal backing which means the teeth either side are discoloured as the metal shows through. What can I do to replace the bridge so that the teeth either side are not disclosed. Could I get a new bridge on the NHS if so do they only usually do them with a metal backing? Many thanks for your help. Kind regards

Am I spending more than required for fixing my grinding problem?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
I have bridge that was replaced by my general dentist last year. Since then, I had a lot of problems because when the molar (#31) was grind down, it exposed the nerve. I had root canal done. However, after the rct, I was still having pain. The endodontist told me she was not able to get through one of the canals because it was blocked & curved. I went to another endodontist who recommended a retreatment. The tooth feels a little better, with some sensitivity. The bridge is always getting loose because there is not much tooth to hold the bridge. My dentist is recommending a crown lengthening. I am afraid I am spending too much money on this tooth, but would it really be worth it.

It may be that the situation i… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
