Hi, my friend who is in her 60’s went to her dentist last Saturday to have her bottom front teeth crowned. The dentist drilled the roots out but stopped and told her that there should be blood but there was ‘nt any there.

I don’t know whether to have a dental implant or a bridge, if I decide to receive an implant would it be painful?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi
I’m 26 years old and have had 2 teeth removed which I regret as I didn’t know how much they cost if I needed new ones. Anyway, I’m very confused on whether I should have a bridge or an implant. If I do decide to go for an implant will it be very painful? And as I’m now living abroad in Libya do you advise me to do the surgery here or look somewhere else? Also I’m planning a wedding for April, do I have enough time?

My tooth cracked and had to be extracted after root canal treatment. Can a crown be fitted?

Monday, November 29th, 2010
Q.

I have had RCT on UL6 and was left for 6 months until any other treatment (check up) Just a week before my appointment, this tooth fractured and resulted in being extracted. Would the length of time this tooth was left, in a brittle state, be the reason this fractured? I had finished antibiotics 2 weeks prior to RCT so would infection be reduced? Would a temp crown be fitted in all RCT cases? Thankyou

Unfortunately this is one of t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
