Will the gold crown fitted will stop the tooth to flex?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I have a fractured back tooth. My dentist finds that the nerve is not infected and I agree because it is not sensitive to hot and cold and if the tooth isn’t touched it feels okay. However, my concern is that the tooth is sensitive when under pressure and I presume this is because any pressure allows movement, however small, of the fracture. At the moment I have a temporary crown in place, awaiting a permanent fitting. Would it be expected that when the gold crown is fitted that will stop the ability of the tooth to flex. Can anything be done underneath the crown to gain stability? Many thanks.

Should I have to repeat the root canal treatment?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I had a root canal done on my upper back tooth 4 years ago and recently it has begun to hurt when i bite on it or tap the tooth. Does this mean i will have to have the procedure repeated or will antibiotics get rid of the pain? I had a check up approx 4 weeks ago and an x-ray and nothing adverse was shown. Thanks

I had cap tooth fitted which is loose now plz help me with this

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Caplan, Could you help…. I had a bad tooth removed by my nhs dentist, the option for me was to have a cap tooth fitted and glued to the tooth next to it,,After fitting th tooth felt too big and I was told this was a normal feeling even though it also loooked too big, after only two weeks the tooth became loose and fell out, so I went to another dentist, the tooth was altered and refitted again by bonding mixture,, I was told again that the tooth would stay in for years.. only a few days later the tooth is again loose and I cannot eat antyhing on that side of my mouth in fear of it falling out again. Could you advise what I should do next Kind regards

Is its true that crowns cannot last for long?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki, I had 3 crowns done over 25 years ago and theyre still going strong but above 2 of them, the gums are receding slightly. Is there anything I can do, to alleviate this. My dentist wants me to have them redone but I am concerned about the expense and also I have been told that these days, crowns only last 10 years. Is this true and why. I would like to hold onto mine for as long as possible as I have a fear of the dentist. Thankyou.

Can I ve veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am getting a root canal on one of my front teeth (upper right incisor). I had some work done on this same tooth last yr by a different dentist, it was already slightly discoloured so he did something to it and made it nice and healthy looking again (I think it may have been a composite filling or something?) I have been advised by the dentist I am having the root canal from that this tooth will discolour after the root canal. Will this still be the case despite the composite filling? If so, would it be possible to have a veneer bonded to the tooth rather than a crown? If I did have a crown would it be more noticeable than a veneer? Thank you
