Dear Dr Hughes.
I had braces as a teenager to move my canine teeth from beside my front two teeth where they originally grew. This then left a gap and I have had a Maryland bridge in place for a few years. This continues to fall off on a regular basis. On previous X-rays the dentist has said my root above will not allow me to have an implant in place. Although this would be my preferred choice. Is there anything more permanent that can be done? Is an implant an option if the other teeth with the root obstructing is also removed and an implant inserted? Please inform of any options.
Also I am having to have a root canal on the front tooth due to trauma injury which will mean the bridge will have to be removed. Can anything including this be done on the same day?
Thanks.

I Have A Maryland Bridge That Falls Off On A Regular Basis. Is There Anything More Permanent That Can Be Done?
Friday, October 24th, 2014After Having A Root Canal And A Crown Fitted Shortly Afterwards, I’m Experiencing Discomfort. Has It Failed?
Monday, February 10th, 2014Hello Andrew. I have a problem that I would like to discuss with you. I have just had a root canal done and after almost 2 weeks everything had settled with the temporary dressing, no pain. Then I went back a week later for a crown to be fitted and now I’m experiencing a mild pain and the crown is quite sensitive to touch when pushing on the side. It’s not particularly pain just a persistent discomfort, please help. Should I tell my dentist? Does it sound like it failed? I’m terrified, I also has the nerve removed on this same tooth. I’ve found the whole procedure has made me very depressed. Thank you.
After Having A Crown Fitted I Now Have A Pulsing Sensation Every Time I Eat. Why Is This?
Monday, November 25th, 2013I went to the dentist last week to have a crown fitted on my right lower 6. I’ve had root canal on that tooth already so there is no nerve, I’ve never had pain before but I’m now having pain every time I eat and a pulsing sensation all the time. The dentist did have to resize it several times before cementing. I think it’s still too high as my bite is not the same as it was before. Do you know whether this pain will settle? Or am I just being a wimp? I hate going to the dentist but I don’t know how to describe the pain to the dentist and I know there should be no pain as there is no nerve! I also keep wanting to grind my teeth. Any ideas on what I can do?
Should I have root canal treatment prior to crowns being fitted?
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011Is it best, or should I say good practice, to have root canal treatment carried out prior to the crown being fitted even if the root of the tooth appears healthy?

I have a sensitive tooth. Should I have it removed?
Monday, November 22nd, 2010 I have tooth that has become very sensitive to hot and cold.
my dentist has suggested I rub sensodyne toothpaste.
How long should I continue this as if this does not work she has suggested I have deep root filing to have the nerve removed.
I had terrible experience some years ago when another dentist tried a similar thing and I experieced excrusiating pain.
Because of this i am more inclined to have the tooth removed.
Do you have any advice and are some aneathestics more effective than others?
What options are available for the replacement of a dead tooth?
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010One of my incisors died a few years ago and the root canal was filled. It has always been a different colour to the rest of my teeth and I was wondering what options were available for replacement of the dead tooth. Many Thanks.,
I just had two nerves removed and I’m on considerable pain. Is this acceptable; should the procedure have been painless?
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010I’ve just had two nerves removed from an upper molar, I was in agnoising pain during the procedure, my dentist was unable to remove the third nerve, I’ve been sent away with antibiotics and a return appointment to remove the third nerve and refill the tooth. I’m in considerable pain now, two hours after my visit. Is this acceptable treatment? Should this procedure have been painless?,
