Should I have my tooth removed? Or should I wait till the filling settles down?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Q.
Hello I need some advise. I had 2 deep fillings done on back teeth RH bottom side of mouth last Dec. Since then I have nerve pain from one tooth and tingling in lower lip chin and face on that side. Been back to dentist who says nothing wrong with teeth. Went back again, he said he could drill out again or do root canal, although not needed ,or take tooth out. I opted for tooth extraction because I couldn’t stand anymore drilling on nerve. The 2nd injection he gave me when doing the 2nd filling hit the nerve and I had electric shock feeling through face. Is is possible that nerve pain and tingling is due to temporary nerve damage? I still haven’t had tooth out because worried about anymore trauma to nerve. I am off to America in 2 weeks for holiday but don’t want to go away not being able to eat/drink properly. Pain/sensations are there all day but go away at night. Should I opt for tooth out or give it more time to see if it all settles down,?Dentist is hesitant to remove tooth now – too close to holiday. Please help. Have lost a lot of weight due to anxiety. Thanks,
A.

My back molar is turning black, why is this?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Q.
I am a 24 year old female. I’ve always had weak teeth, but healthy. I think my oral hygeine is great, as I usually brush 4 times per day and floss twice daily. I just noticed that the back molar on the upper right side of my mouth is turning black (only half of it). I have a filling in that tooth that I received around the age of 15 or 16. I am certain that it was not black last week. I have recently been put on antibiotics and allergy medication (Levaquin, Allegra, and Nasonex) for a sinus infection. The tooth doesn’t hurt at all. I have made an appointment with my dentist, but could not get an appointment until two weeks from now. Should I try to get an appointment with another dentist sooner? What type of prognosis should I expect?,

Should I have a tooth extraction or the root canal treatment?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Q.
Hi i have had several fillings performed on one of my molar teeth in the last 6 months (the last a deep filling) and have recently had an abcess. My dentist gave me a course of antibiotics and gave me the option of a root canal or extraction. However he stated that the prognosis wouldn’t be good if a root canal was was performed. I don’t really want to lose any of my teeth and feel that i have been ill advised. Having read loads of literature on root canals it appears to have a high success rate. Plus at the age of 30 would the rest of my teeth shift if iwas to go-ahead with a tooth extraction.,

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 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.,
