I have become sensitive to the new filling

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had part of the side of a molar that is next to a removed tooth years ago fell away, mild aching,sensitive really, saw my dentist who removed the rest of the filling then placed a tempery filling in it to see if it settled down, I had no problems but unfortunatly this came out 10 days later due to me biting something hard,I returned to him and he said he was happy to put in a perminent filling,due to me not experiencing any problems.Since then i have had continueing sensitivity on eating,drinking hot and cold and now on taking in air ,inside and outside the house.I am not sure about going back to him as he is new to me as my old dentist that I trusted implicently retired and he took on the practice.Heseems nice enough just wasnt convinced on my last visit ,that he did the treament correctly, didnt apear to put much filler in my tooth despite proding it an awfull lot.I know he will want to do root canal,as this is what he spoke of last time,I am at a loss to know whether this would be the way to go ,as I experienced no problems when the tempery filling was in,can you advise me please,on my best course of action or treatment.Do I go somewhere else for treatment,or return to him,for root canal.I am on a monthly private scheme. Regards

Q.
Hi, I have had a couple of amalgam fillings replaced with white ones and the teeth look really grey (you can tell where the grey filling was) is there any way of rectifying this? Iwas hoping to have all my amalgams replaced but the ones I have had look worse than before! I’d also like to know whether I’d be suiable for tooth whitening if my teeth have tetracyclene staining? Many thanks.

Stains on my filling causing discoloring

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hello. I am 27 years old and have had fillings placed on many of my front teeth. My specific question is about teeth numbers 8 and 9. I feel the feelings are old (5 years) and they have small discolorations. I don’t mind the discolorations, but I don’t trust them. They don’t look bad until I shine a light on them and it’s like the stains get five times bigger and glow. I’ve asked my dentist and he tells me they are just stains. If they are stains I don’t care, but all my cavities have started with discolorations. I had a cleaning recently and the hygenist didn’t mention these at all, even when I asked she just said she didn’t know. The one actaully has a very small brown groove I can catch my fingernail in. Should I get a second opinion? Also, on the one tooth, from what I can tell, the “stain” is surrounding the edge of the filling. I would hope that my dentist would understand my worry concerning cavities on these teeth, but I don’t know if he actually cares. And if you could, can you tell me if a previous composite resin has to be completely removed for a new one to be placed?

I need a filling for my bottom teeth which is chipped

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
I am 14 years of age. And my teeth are really good the way that they are set out but the straightness really upsets me and knocks my confidence big time. My top teeth are good its more my bottom one’s as between the two main ones there is a slight chip which i would like filling in so it goes away. And one of my teeth next to one of the main ones has a bit out of it and i would like that sorting out same goes for the tooth on the other side. Would this cost anything. Please get back to me. Thank you very much.

My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
I have got clearstep braces which is costing quite a bit but because of this treatment I need to stay with the dentist I have however before my braces I had to undergo other necessary work, ie fillings in two back lower teeth and a crown on another back lower tooth which he claimed needed redoing. My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable. My dentist says just use sensodyne toothpaste and it will be okay??? I have been doing this for six months now! On the other lower side (new fillings) I have had terrible toothache with swelling which he said was an abscess, gave me amoxicillin which did’nt get rid of it! I have now been told to go back after christmas! I am still in agony, my face is swollen and I am unable to eat and now looking forward to a very painful christmas. I don’t know what to do as I have so far spent thousands of pounds and don’t really want to go elsewhere, what can I do to ease the pain?
