Q.
Dear Dr.Safeer Butt DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF MY STUDENT LIFE in SCHOOL I HAD A FALL AND SUSTAINED A FRACTURE RIGHT UPPER CANINE AND LOSS OF VIABILITY OF CENTRAL INCISOR ON UPPER RIGHT TOOTH. INITIALLY THERE WAS NO ANY PROBLEMS. AFTER COMPLETING MY SCHOOLING I HAD STEEPED IN TO THE COLLEGE IT HAD STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS LIKE PAIN AND SWELLING. IT USED TO SUBSIDE WITH ANTIBIOTICS USAGE. AFTER COMPLETING THE SCOOLING STEPPED IN TO THE PG COURSE ALSO IT WAS THE SAME SCENARIO. THEN STARTED EXPERIENCING SEVERE PAIN IN TOOTH. IT WAS SO HAPPENED I CONSULTED THE DENTIST HE HAD SUGGESTED ME THE CHOICE OF RCT AND ALONG WITH THE EXTRACTION OF THE FRACTURED TOOTH CANINE. UNDERWENT THE EXTRACTION. RCT WAS CARRIED OUT. NO PROBLEMS FOR THE LAST 5 TO 7 YRS. GADUALLY THE PAIN RE APPEARED AND STARTED WITH ANTIBIOTICS IN BETWEEN THERE WAS A FACTURE OF CROWN 1 YR AGO AND THE BRIDGE WAS RE CONSTRUCTED. NOW THE PAIN RE APPEARS ONCE IN 6 MONTHS. SUBSIDES WITH ANTIBIOTICS. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? KINDLY GIVE ME YOUR VALUABLE SUGEESTIONS, OPINIONS AND FURTHER MANAGERIAL LINES. THANKING YOU.

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 ?

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.

Is there any treatment for my hairline fractured teeth?

Monday, April 6th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have a horizontal hairline fracture in one of my front teeth. The fracture is closer to the bottom of the tooth. I’ve been told that there’s nothing that can be done and that I should just be careful with it. I was wondering if there is any treatment for this condition that might prevent the tooth from finally breaking off. Thankyou
