Why do crown and filling keep falling out?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi Am 45 male and admit when younger l did not look after my teeth as l should have and have had a sweet tooth for many years. But l have tried hard, but over the last year l had my back teeth removed cos of decay. But what more worrying is l having larger filling at the backs which are just falling apart. Also I have 3 grown at the front. And over the year each one for no reason just falls out. I had them put back in but a few months later another one falls out. It now getting me very upset and worried about my teeth falling out. And no long like to even step outside the front door if it can be help. I even avoid some people at work so l doesn’t have to talk and open my mouth. I have read a lot about implants and yes for the front l would feel this would be great. But the truth is l cannot afford 3 implants and never will have that type of money. But l just cannot understand why each crown and filling is falling out. Am afraid to eat food and try to eat on the hard part of my gums. I cannot understand why all this is happing. But l thought as your help is Free in answering my question l can only hope for some help please.,

I am terried of dentist but would antibiotics help?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi I broke a piece off an already filled, front molar about a year ago, my dentist very skillfully removed the old filling and effectively re0built me a tooth from filling. I had recurring niggles with it,& have taken a few courses of antibiotics to settle things down. Apart from the tooth feeling slightly looser than the rest, all has been well until a week or two back when I had pain, and my dentist thought I had an abscess, one more lot of antibiotics (which don’t agree with me at all), the pain has mostly, but not completely gone. My dentist mentioned that if the antibiotics don’t work then root canal and crown will be the next move. I have had a root canal in the past that didn’t work (but have a crown which has done sterling service), so I am unsure as what to do next. Since my filling tooth is a bit wobbly is a crown worth trying, would that maybe give it more stability, (I half wonder if I have the abscess now due to the movement in the gum), do I ask to try another lot of antibiotic even though I know they’ll make me feel ill, or, cut my losses,have the tooth out and then think about a bridge or implant, although I am terrified of dental treatment and have no idea what each of these involves; I’ll be happy as long as I’m sedated!!!! Sorry it’s such a long question, but hope you can advise,
A.

Crown feel liks it has moved and bite feels wrong – any advice?

Monday, February 8th, 2010
Q.
I had some cosmetic work done on my teeth in November including the fitting of 3 veneers and 3 crowns. I have been experiencing problems with the new front crown (which is a post crown and had resulted from an injury 35 years ago when I lost the tooth in an accident) the same crown had been in place since then. The tooth next to it was fitted with a veneer, the new crown I have now discovered is all porcelain. I learnt this on my return visit to the dentist when it was causing discomfort and the bite wasn’t right. I returned twice more before Christmas because the bite was still not right and I was experiencing discomfort from the new crown. Finally in despair I visited another local dentist – I live in Devon who was recommended to me because he specialises on bite issues. He took a layer of the porcelain off the back, which has relieved the discomfort in that tooth no end. The veneer next to it is still catching though so I am going back to him this week. I now wish I had never had the original work done and had kept my original crown which had caused no problems all those years. Sorry for the long email – will get to the question! It feels like the new front crown has moved – is that possible? If I came up to the Mulberry – when the weather clears – would you with your bite machine be able to tell me whether the bite or where the bite is off and also check whether the new crown has moved? Many thanks,
A.

Is this a sign that the crown may be falling out? I am considering whitening my teeth and replacing the crown. Im not sure what to do but I am so paranoid that it will fall out.,
