I have a very large filling in one of my upper rear teeth

Monday, December 8th, 2008
Q.
Hi, my question relates to crowns. I have a very large filling in one of my upper rear teeth (second from the back) my dentist thought the cavity was really a bit large to be filling but i didn’t want to lose the tooth so it was filled. I’ve been very careful with it and its lasted about 8 months but part of the tooth has now broken off, i assume this will only get worse and so my question is can the filling be ground down allong with the remaining tooth to support a crown, or does the filling have to be removed and the crown bonded just to the tooth as i don’t think there will be enough material to bond to if the filling is removed. thanks.

my teeth are stained a kind of yellow

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi Ok i hate my smile, my teeth are stained a kind of yellow and i have cavities.My biggest fear in the world is the dentist everytime i go i have a panic attack and it makes the treatment more stressfull for me and the dentist. I wonder if you can help me, by having sleep dentistry is it possible for me to have fillings, teeth whitened etc all in one go whilst asleep? Then i feel that if i had a better smile then i would take proper care of my teeth. The problem is that im ony 16 can i still have treatment done at this age? and roughly how much would it cost? If you could let me know then it would be great, because having a new,nicer smile would give me the confidence that i need and you would be a lifesaver. x

Q.
Hi i have a decayed tooth in the top centre right of my mouth. very little of the tooth can be seen as it has came out from my jaw properly as it is fused to my jaw. it is a hereditary problem. my question is if this tooth causes no pain should it be removed and it would it be difficult to remove it? would a filling be the the only option as my dentist said a filling wouldnt be possible. please advise. thank you.

Q.
Hello Dr Komal Suri, I am a 32 year old, have had eight tooth fillings done with silver amalgum about twelve years ago. I have not been to a dentist since, Recently I have noticed three dark spots on the teeth inside my mouth which also cause some uncomfortable pain. What could be the cause of these symptoms? Is it advisible to have the old silver amalgum fillings replaced with white ones? as I belive silver amalgum is toxic heavy metal which can promote disease like cancer. Thanking you in anticipation Kind regards

I have a small chip in one of my front teeth

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Q.
I have a small chip in one of my front teeth. As it’s not too big (and my front teeth are quite large) filing the front two teeth would seem to me like the simplest and cheapest way to go about fixing this. Does this kind of treatment even exist and if so what are the prices? I also know the cause of the chip and it comes from another tooth on the bottom of my mouth that sticks out a little and the chip was obviously caused by that as this tooth fits in the chip. So i’d need to get that sorted too.
