My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months can I get I sooner?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had alot of problems with one of my front (at the side a bit) teeth. I have had root canel on it, then it cracked it two. I had the back bit removed and then the filling fell out the rest so the dentist decided to take it out. I got it taken out 4 days ago and had a plate put it immediately due to its location. I have been in pain since….and it doesnt seem to be relenting. I am finding the plate very uncomfortable and struggle to eat!! in fact i know its only been 4 days but i hate the plate, i dont like the poligrip very much but forcing myself to put it on!! but i feel really like i want to gag all the time, its really sore at my tooth, itchy at the top of my mouth and im constantly thirsty! My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months time, I was just wondering if there is any reason I have to wait this long? Can i ask for it sooner as I really dont think i can last 6 months with the plate! Also do you have any advice for the plate situation now….I dont want to go back to my dentist as along with all this ive been in and out with wisdom teeth extractions (where my face balloned) and feel that im always there! but toothache is so bad!

Would braces make the gum recession and TMJ worse?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 27 and am considering braces since my bottom teeth and quite wonky. Although my teeth and gum themselves are healthy, for most of my life have had a clicking jaw joint. I have been using a mouthguard but it has done little to help me stop clenching my teeth. I also have sensitive teeth and some gum recession cause either by toothbrush abrasion or maybe the clenching of my teeth.I am looking for a dentist who may be able to help me with all these issues! Would I be able to have braces or would it make the gum recession and TMJ worse? If I get braces and my gum recession increases, is there a dentist who would be able to give me a gum graft to improve this? Kind regards
