My teeth filling hurts when i chew gums is it normal?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi. I had SEVERAL fillings done about 1.5 months ago, and on occasion, those teeth will hurt, especially when I chew gum.

There is a gap between my fillings and is very painful can you advice?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Moore, I had a filling done between two premolars, and both teeth now have fillings. The problem is that apart from chewing being uncomfortable,they don’t fit well with the bottom teeh and there is now a gap that gets infected and is very painful. I have been back but was not able to find the same dentist and another dentist said that the xray doesn’t show any problem and that everything is fine, but that area between the premolars stings sharply, is itchy and swells up. Looking in the mirror all I can see is that the shape of the teeth is different and they seem bigger. I am very confused and don’t know what to do. How can I get them to look and feel like they used to?

A.
It sounds like they might need… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What is the procedure to fix my discoloured white filling?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
When I was younger I chipped my tooth so went to my local dentist and they gave me a white filling that was fine until recently when it became discoloured. What is the procedure for fixing this problem? Will the old filling need to be removed and replaced or can this old filling be whitened? I know you will have to treat each case individually but what is the usual procedure? I am currently 16 and have had this filling for about 7 years.

A.
If the staining cannot be remo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What can be done to correctly fit an irreplaced crown?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown on a back molar which did not fit correctly and is in the process of being replaced. I have a dull ache in the tooth area to the rear of the tooth. It is not the throbbing of a regular root canal type pain. An endodontist could not see damage to the nerve or root other than the poorly fitting crown which is now gone and a temporary in place. I am getting intermittent pain but am concerned about getting a root canal as a previou s root canal on a bottom molar left permanent nerve damage. What do you suggest?

A.
The fact that an endodontist c… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it normal to accumulate a sticky substance around a new resin filled teeth?

Hi, I recently chipped one of my front teeth, and yesterday had it filled in (I think with a resin). Since then, I’ve noticed a sticky gunge collecting around it-similar to saliva, but thicker and sticky. Is this normal due to how recently the filling was put in, or do I need to go back to my dentist.
