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?

The only cure available to my sensitive tooth is removal of the nerve

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
My front tooth and one my doubles at the side have become very sensitive – on the front one it seems to be at the very top inside I have been back to my dentist three times and he gave me some brown flouridge to apply each night but this has made no difference – he says the only way to cure it now is to remove th nerve. Years ago I remember that there was some type of coating that was put over the teeth and ultra violet light was used to harden it in fact I had a very tiny tooth next to my large front tooth and my dentist at the time made it a bit bigger using this method and it has lasted some 30 years – do you still use this method or have I no alternative other than to have the nerve removed and I assume a cap put on. I need to keep costs to a minimum.

I have two molars that are showing signs of fracture

Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Q.
I have two molars that are showing signs of fracture. My dentist wants to put a silver or “composite” crown on each one but the procedure of drilling away a good portion of the teeth is upsetting to me. Is there a bonding procedure that will serve the same purpose- that is, hold the tooth together to prevent it breaking completely?

crown or teeth whitening after root canal

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008
Q.
Hi, I am only 16 years old and about 6months ago i underwent a root canal treatment on one of my bottom-front teeth. I am really disappointed at the unsightly look of the tooth, as it has gradually darkened over this period. My dentist recommended me to get a crown, but only when i am around 20 years old. I am at a loss at what to do as i want to ‘fix’ the tooth immediately, but i am scared of the drawbacks of fitting a crown in now. Can you please give me any advice?

My post crown fell out last week and when I went to the dentist he said that I had fractured my root and the only option was to remove the root and have a partial denture fitted – is this correct advice?

I hit my tooth while weightlifting and chipped it have I damaged my nerve

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I hit my mouth today with a metal bar quite hard while weightlifting and my front tooth is chipped, even worse it has been moved forward slightly and is no longer flush with the rest of my teeth. I am in a state of panic as i am unsure if it can be fixed simply. I havent seen a dentist for over 10 years and im quite worried about the procedure to put it right again. Please could you shed some light on the procedure to help settle my nerves. Is it simply pushed back or is the tooth going to have to be removed. I am not in any pain and the tooth seems healthy, it needs to be corrected by moving it back 1mm or 2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
