Hello Dr Hughes. My back tooth is rotten and half fell out years ago. It caused me no discomfort for a long time but now the other half is wobbly and is making me very uncomfortable. What do I do? My daughter is getting married in 2 days and I don’t want to be in pain for that day. The tooth can’t be pulled as I was told a while back my gums need to be cut to get it out. Should I leave it and hope it doesn’t fall out and cause more pain or do I go dentist now? Thanks.
My 4 year old has had a temporary filling today and now he is screaming in pain as all dentist are closed and I have give all the pain relief he can have. Could you offer any help or advice please? He is just saying it hurts. He has a hole in another tooth. Do you think they could of done it in the wrong tooth? Any home remedies. There is no out of house dentist near to where I live. Could the a&e do anything to help? What could the give him? Anything other than what he’s not already had, such as calpol, nurofen, anolsol, oil and bonjela. I hope you can help us. I look forward to your reply.
Hello Dr Moore, I need your help. My top back tooth has just started to disintegrate. Yet, I am off on 2 mission works on Saturday to Africa where it is obviously not advisable to get dental treatment. I doubt I will be able to get any treatment in this country before I go and considering that Monday is a bank holiday – Can you suggest anything that will keep me going? There is no pain at the moment but I’m starting to worry that it will cause long term problem if I don’t get it seen too in time. Thank you for your time.
Hello Mark. I hope you can help me out. I’m visiting London for two weeks, but my crown on my front tooth has just cracked in half. I would like to fix it when I am back in the states, but I don’t want to risk it falling off or breaking more at the moment. Is there something I can do temporarily? Or will I need to replace the crown now, while I’m residing in London?
I would like to know my options before I have to make a decision so any help you could provide me with would be useful.
Thank you in advance for your time.
A bit of my tooth came out whilst having something to eat, towards the back of my mouth but in between two teeth. The hole is right in the middle of the teeth and not on the outside/inside etc, it doesn’t hurt (YET) but I can’t get in the dentist until after the New Year, it looks quite dark and a lot of food is getting trapped inside which I have to keep flossing it out. Is this a sign of decaying, as I only visited my dentist in August this year, surely they should of spotted early signs of decay? I also had a crown fitted and they would of looked at my teeth on different occasions, I don’t know what to do? I don’t want to be unwell for Christmas but I have to wait until after New Year.
My 9 year old daughter fell yesterday and her front teeth took the force of the fall. The teeth are still there but she cracked both her front teeth. I rushed her to the emergency dentist and they have filled the teeth in. Last night when I was looking at them I could see where the crack was and the filling looked quiet translucent. What advice can you give?
