Q.
Have had a permnement 5 teeth 2front eye tooth ,2 sides next to them bridge 12 yrs in..just fell out on it’s own . no hurting, just fell out. same day went to dentist, said it broke off both teeth that held the bridge on..put in plastic barb one side medal barb where front tooth was.been very painful for 2 months under the front tooth only,i have no 5 teeth mind you. just bridge.he said i probably fractured the root. never ever hurt before he really driled out the ,i assume the excess part of the tooth broken off at gum line both doctors are stumped as to why it hurts so bad.. i’ve also had root canal on it , over the yrs.never a problem in 12 yrs, till bridge was reattached..can’t front bite like hamberger bun or soft slices of peaches, without it causeing pain,sometimes very bad through the whole night.been on z-pac 5 days now another z-pac.any idea of what is happening? any answer would be very much appreciated.

My main concern is a vertical fracture on my front tooth can you advice on it.

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
My teeth are generally irregular but I am realistic that this is probably something I have to live with. However, my main concern is a vertical ‘fracture’ on my front tooth. I am very nervous that the tooth will soon break in half but I don’t want to consider crowns as I’ve seen the horrid tell tale sign of the grey as the tooth enters the gum…URGH! Please can you help? ps I’m a scuba diver.

My crown is fractured now can u get a replacement crown on NHS?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown fitted 10 yrs ago and a few months ago it began to annoy me as it was catching on my tongue causing minor ulcers .I made an appointment with my dentist and he smoothed my crown off ,since then i have had problems eating when eating cold n hot food .On returning to the dentist he is now saying that I have fractured my crown although I think it was him when he smoothed my crown off . What is my best move now I am on tax credit just now but dont know what to do for the best ? can u give me options of what to do next ? Personally i think he is dodging the issue and trying to palm me off with telling me to apply colgate sensitive paste on tooth every night to calm my pain .can u get a replacement crown on nhs?

my crown has fractured and it now feels like waffer thin what i need to know

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
Q.
I had a porcelain crown fitted in October 08. The crown fractured at the back in April. The dentist who fitted the crown said it was not too bad and ground it smooth. Since then the crown has fractured again. It now feels waffer thin and will snap at any time. What I need to know is, am I entitled to this crown being replaced free of charge. It is a lot of money to pay and 6 month is not a long time considering they should last 10 years.

Can the root canal treatment cause the fracture in my root

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
Q.
9 months ago I had cosmetic dentistry done on 6 of my top front teeth. I had one root canal, 4 crowns, and 2 veneers. After the root canal was done I had discomfort running down the front of my tooth whenever there was any front to back pressure on my tooth. It was crowned anyway thinking it would go away. My dentist now thinks I may have a hairline fracture in the root. We already redid the root canal once with no improvement whatsoever. There was a little bit of a halo effect in the xray at the tip of the root. She had thought it might be an overfill problem. I am going in tomorrow and I am afraid they are going to tell me that the front tooth will have to be extracted and an implant put in. Did the root canal cause the fracture? Am I now liable for costs to repair this damage? Also what is the procedure/recovery etc for a front tooth extraction and transplant? Thank you very much.

I have a vertical fracture and dentists suggests tooth removal

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have a vertical fracture in one of my maxillary first premolars. My dentist says that nothing can be done to repair the tooth and that at some stage it will need to be extracted. Please could you advise me whether this is true? I am not currently experiencing any pain, but I am obviously trying to avoid using the tooth for biting. Thanks.
