I had root canal treatment but now it has started to hurt slightly what is the reason advice?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Hello. Three days ago I had a root canal on a back tooth.The dentist did not crown it but said I may need a crown at a later date.Today it has stareted slightly hurting again which I find strange as I thought the root had been removed.It did not hurt at all when I had the temporary filling in for a week whilst waiting for the second part of the root canal. It also seems sensitive when I bite down. As it is the weekend I cannot get to the dentist and it is not an agonising pain. Do you have any advise. Thank you

Im extremely nervous patient and i need several filling what is the cost of inlay and onlays?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet, I am an extremely nervous patient and hence now require several fillings due to decay. Some of these fillings are apparently quite large and the dentist seems unsure if they require root canal work or not. I have since come across inlays and onlays are these available on the NHS or purley private? and if so either way what is the approximate costing? also I appreciate without seeing my teeth its difficult to judge but may they be a better option to fillings and would they last longer. My last root canal was very painful during and after. Best wishes

The NHS will cover treatment t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had my brace removed and now i dont like wearing the bottom plate because of pain advice?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
I feel like my plate is too big. I had my braces removed about 5 days ago and on that appointment, when my orthodontist was taking moulds for my plate, on the bottom one he said “your mouth is just a little too big for the small so I’ll give you one size up.” or something like that. Anyway, my lower inside, left gum is being pushed by the plastic bit on the plate and it is extremely painful and is almost drawing blood. I don’t like wearing the bottom plate and often can’t wear it because of the pain. What should i do?

A.

My permanent bridge is broken and my dentist says it is due to my grinding Is it correct?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Bohara, I have a permanent bridge put on by a dentist in 2005. In 2009, it is broken. I paid $3000. She says that the bridge broke due to my grinding. The bridge has also damaged the bottom tooth. I consulted another dentist and he says that the bridge should be replaced at no cost to me. I went to the original dentist and she said that because I grind my teeth I broke the bridge and also have worn out my bottom tooth. She said that she would replace the bridge for 1/2 the price of $3,000. What are dental patients’ rights???? I did not like her office and I did not like her. I’ve also moved and I’m now 3hrs away. Thanks for your guidance.

The dentist told me that sealant in one the molar came off can a cavity develop that quickly?

Friday, July 10th, 2009
Q.
I took my 9 yr old daughter for exam and cleaning last week to my dentist. After the cleaning, the dentist told me that the sealant in one of her molars came off and there were 2 stain pits. She said next time we come back, she would need to open up the tooth to see if it needs filling. My daughter was previously seeing a pediatric dentist and had cleaning done 5 months ago and at that time, her sealants were still all intact. Can a cavity develop that quickly? I am afraid of having the tooth drilled and opened if there is no cavity. I have been taking good care of my daughter’s teeth so I am not sure how she got the stain pits. Do we have another option for treatment?
