My dental bridge has gaps in it and is leaking, what should I do?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Riten I hope you can help me. I have had a six bridge which includes crowns in the top front of my mouth for the last 25 yrs. recently there have been gaps between the tooth and gum on one or 2 teeth. My dentist has filled the gaps, but says that i need a new bridge as it is leaking. Can he not just take this bridge out and re cement it in again. I’m very confused and think i need a second opinion and the cost is working out quiet expensive. I look forward to hearing from you. ,

Will I experience pain after the veneers have been placed?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr. Patel! I have decided to put veneers on some of my upper (healthy) teeth because they looked really bad, and have opted for emax. My dentist said he will not remove the nerves of the teeth, but I am affraid that I will be in pain even after the veneers will be placed since it so happened with other teeths that I have recently covered in emax. Is it correct not to remove the nerves before permanently fixing the veneers?,

Can I still have healthy teeth after having fillings?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
I am 19 and have a crown and four fillings. I look after my teeth – brush with prescription fluoride toothpaste twice a day without rinsing, mouthwash and floss every day. I’m absolutely terrified that my teeth are just going to keep getting worse and worse, and that I will not be able to stop them rotting and falling out. I see a dentist every six months and I just know every time that I will be unable to stop something awful happening. It has got to the point of obsession, I cry whenever I think about it and I’m frightened to eat most things. Can I still have healthy teeth after fillings?,

Have a good look at the sugar … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What can I do about my two dead teeth?

Friday, July 30th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet, My two front teeth had undergone root canal treatment around 2 years ago. I’m now 20 and still not completely happy with the appearance of my teeth as they were internally bleached but still hinder that grey discolouring which makes me very self conscious. I was looking into getting crowns/ veneers. But are these posible for my teeth? Or are there any other possible treatments? And would I have to have my front teeth removed in the future because they are dead?

The discolouration in my front tooth is now more apparent due to the dead nerve, what can I do?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
I have a discoloured front tooth due to a dead nerve. I have had it for about 30 years. The tooth is strong and at the moment I have a porcelain veneer over it. It is about 15 years old and the discolouration is now showing through again. I go to my dentist twice a year and I have asked if there are any new techniques available to improve it. He told me that I would need a thicker veneer to cover the tooth and it wasn’t really worth doing. What would you suggest I ask him to do? Many thanks.,
A.
