Is it worth saving tooth that has traces of bacteria in the gum around it? Or should I have treatment such as dental implants?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Many years ago a lower molar was removed and not replaced with either inplant or denture. Over time the molar to the left of the remove one has borne most of the pressure when eating on that side. It has amalgum filling from past dentistry. In recent years eating hard food caused a little discomfort and it was assume there could be a fracture of this molar. Within the last three weeks the gum around this tooth has become inflamed and sore and I have a swelling and tenderness of the glands (not seen in the mouth) under my chin. There was alot of pain and radiation for about two days which calmed down to what is now a background soreness and slight ache. An exray has revealted some grey around the tooth root between the root and the gum indicating bacteria I believe hense the swelling and soreness but no evidence of an infection (no puss)! Apparently the tooth has some slight movement. There is no sign of decay. I have never been advised to have a bridge or cap to take the pressure of this molar so I guess it has suffered a bit. It would seem either a denture or inplant is now needed to fill the existing gap. My question is, is it worth trying to save the molar I am having these problems with in which case I will would need only one inplant (or a cap I guess?) or should this molar be removed rather than risks problems in the future with it and go for a double implant? I hope I have given you enough information here. PS Root canal work has been discounted in my case – my dentist feels extraction is the best option. Regards,

There is a lump on the inside of my lip that is causing me grief. What would you advise?

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I recently visited my dentist and needed two lower molar fillings, and a deep clean. I asked the dentist if I had any loose teeth, gum disease etc, and they said no, everything was fine. They did X Rays of both sides of my jaw, and again, everything was fine. I was concerned about a lump that has appeared in my upper lip (on the inside), which has a long white vein running through. I consulted a surgeon who said that I have blocked salivary glands, but that these should unblock themselves in 3 months. I visited my doctor, who prescribed me a weeks worth of anti-biotics to clear them, but they are still there. My problem is that this swelling is so large and prominent that it brushes up against my top two teeth constantly. My top two front teeth are slightly misaligned (one pushes the other slightly backwards) and I think the constant pushing of the swollen inner lip against my top tooth is making the tooth slightly loose. It doesnt move on it’s own, but if I push my tongue hard against it and hold my finger on the other side, I can feel the pressure. I am now extremely concerned about losing my top tooth, and how to unblock these salivary glands (my bottom lip now has three small lumps in it too). I am 24 years old, and other than the two recent mollar fillings have never had any tooth trouble. I have recently quit smoking (after this all started) Please help!,

I have a gap between my crown and my gum, what do you suggest?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Q.
I had two (2) caps installed at the dentist. One feels ok, but the other has a slight gap between the top of the cap and the gums. The gums just barely touches the top of the cap so as a result, the gums just above the cap stays red, inflamed and is hard to brush because it’s painful. Thanks in advance for and information.,

Is there any treatment for irritating bridge pain?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Q.
“Hello, I recently went to the dentist when my bridge became loose, and was told that one of the teeth under my existing brige needs to be pulled due to a cavity that was in my back wisdom tooth, the dentist filled the cavity and prepared the wisdom tooth for the anchor of my bridge, and proceeded to replace the old bridge with a temp in the inturum, I have major pain on the side of my gum the dentist told me that the gum was irritated (ulcer)from the temp bridge , the pain can get quite bad , I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help the irritation heal quicker..I am rinsing with antibiotic and taking something for the pain helps for alittle while but the pain returns”,

What is the reason for pain located near veneer?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have had dental veneers on my two front teeth for over 20 years and have developed a pain in the region for the past two months.My dentist did Xrays which showed nothing up.He does’nt want to remove the veneers and says the pain is not tooth related.I would like to know how easy it would be to remove the veneers to take a look at the teeth and whether a new set could be put back on.Also, if there is a stress fracture in one of the teeth, can this be fixed.I am extremely worried about this and am scared about how my own teeth now look under the veneers.I would appreciate your views.,
