Is its common to drill bw two teeth?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I recently(3 months ago) had a crown done. When my dentist put the final crown on, the back side could not be flossed. After 30 minutes of trying he ended up drilling between the two teeth to make a gap. I now have what feels like a huge gap between my two back teeth. I can’t eat on that side because the teeth now are to sensitive. They weren’t that way with the temp crown. I went back to him and he told me I have pulpitis. What I want to know is this common to drill between two teeth?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi. im 26 and at the moment im having some real problems, that is really making me very depressed. last year i was asked to be referred so i could have fixed braces as i was having alot of pressure in my mouth which i was told was due to a over crowd. i was fitted up braces but im a full time student at university and have two young children, i cant afford to have these braces as much as i want to. i have noticed these past few month that my teeth are pushing forward which is causing me a lot of pain, my bite has changed and im now having to hold my jaw at an angle due to this. is there any way i could get any help with having these braces fitted? or would i be able to have them on the nhs? it is really ruining my life at the moment and affecting everything that i do. i have constantly got aches and pains in my mouth, my teeth feel so tight has they are pushing with no where to go, and it also causes headaches and pain at the top of my neck. im at my wits end with it. if u could help me it would be great.

Do the baby molar teeth need to be extracted?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
My daughter is 19 and has 2 pre-molar (baby teeth) still in place. There are no second teeth to replace them. Her own dentist suggests extracting these 2 teeth as she says they are growing into the gum. Do they need to be extracted or do you think they should stay. If they have to go what will she get to replace the wide gaps. thanks
