I had my tooth surface polished but it still feels rough, why is this?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
I don’t know how I did it but the inside surface of one of my front teeth feels really rough and I went to have it polished at my dentist to make it smooth. However, it hasn’t sorted the problem and the tooth surface is still rough and uncomfortable. Why isn’t the polishing solving the problem and what other things can be done to make the tooth surface smooth again?,

Is the home tray whitening the best option?

Friday, April 23rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am really confused about teeth whitening. My dentist advised that the home trays for two weeks are a lot better and have stronger results than the laser treatment. I am not sure if they are saying this as they only do the trays or the trays are the better option. Help! Thanks Claire,
A.

Is the small bump on the back of my mouth my wisdom tooth coming through?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Q.
I am a 16 year old girl. Back in Feb ’08, I’d got a really painful toothache in the last tooth of the right side of my lower jaw. So the following month, a permanent black filling helped me to rid of the pain. Unfortunately in a few weeks’ time, a small bump occurred right at the side of the filled in tooth, outside the mouth. I know that this has something to do with that filling, and is not an ordinary pustule. An X-ray was taken by my dentist who said that the small bump is a result of the early development of the wisdom tooth. Then in May ’09 that small bump burst. It gave out a lot of pus and some blood. This continued for a few months. Now at that site the skin folds. What’s going on? Am I suffering from something serious? Should it be corrected by oral and plastic surgery? Please help. I am really worried.,

Could my mouth be so sensitive because I had so many fillings at once?

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
Q.
On February 27, 2010 I went to my dentist and have 5 composite fillings done on my right side three on top two on the bottom. He said I had one that was deeper than he thought and he put some lime stuff to reduce sensitivity, and on and off I have had sensitivity to mostly cold. Here in the past couple of days I have needed advil to help with the pain. He said I was no where near needing any root canals (as those are a huge fear for me, Im scared of mouth pain) I have to take valium to get fillings done. When he did the other side I had the same thing, but I only had three fillings, after time passed, it went away. Could this be because I had so many fillings done at once, or could there be something else causing this, Im the biggest chicken there is when it comes to the dentist. What should I do? Please help, Im freaking out here. Mary Wells,
