I have just picked up my new dentures. They are a 7 tooth front top bridge on a chrome platform. They look awful, dont fit and hurt me. I was told to go away and let them bed in for 3 to 4 days. After 4 hours I have raging toothache as I am sure the tooth to the side of the bridge is being pushed sideways and the chrome plate comes nowhere near the roof of my mouth. I cant eat, cant smile and cant talk. What am I to do, I am beside myself with worry.
4 weeks ago I had 2 veneeers fitted which have left my teeth sensitive to pressure and hot and cold. I had no issues previously re senstive teeth. I am worred that after 4 weeks the pain is permanent. How long is the usual period for teeth to be sensitive after veneers are fitted? Incidentally, my teeth were fine when I had the temporaries fitted.
Hello Doctor,
Please help me. I had two lower wisdom teeth extracted on Friday 19th of Nov. Surgery went well under general anesthesia.
Bleeding stopped second day and a severe pain started on third or fourth day. Swelling was really bad especially on the left side which has now gone down.
I still have persistent sharp excruciating pain on the left side, it runs through the jaw and merges into the chin., i can feel a vibration in my temple and its really bad.
I went to hospital for a check up today at Eastman Dental, the dentist said it ‘could’ be an infection, she eliminated possibility of dry socket as she said that would not respond to pain killers, I am taking 2 mandanol 500 g to relieve pain.it gets better for a few hours.
She did not take any xrays and said because i could feel pain when she ‘poked’ at the site it was a good sign.
I have been prescribed Amoxicillin 500 mg for five days,
I am still worried as i have to teach in college and i can barely talk longer than five minutes, i have been off work for ten days now so this whole thing is really affecting me pretty badly.
DO you think i could still have a dry socket, and are these pains due to infection? I was given antibiotics at the start for five days, how did infection still develop, i have been keeping the site clean.
Please help, all i need to know if the diagnosis was alright or should I worry, I am due to travel in a few days.
hi,
I am 55 years old i have three missing teeth on the left bottom jaw my dentist has advised me implants but i am unsure as to go ahead with it as i am concerned about the pain and i am a smoker so will implants work on a long-term basis?
can teeth be whitened without pain even where gums have receded and which electric brush is best for plaque removal and whitening
my wisdom tooth on the left hand side has been coming through for over 1 year now but this last week the gum around the wisdom tooth has become very swollen i cant actually open my mouth to eat and trying to get a toothbrush in my mouth is sooo painful. do you think i would go to my dentist ?
I’ve had two RCTs from the same endodontist and in both cases, the pain remained. X-rays are fine. second opinion agreed. He will not redo the RCTs, only extract. I saw on the X-ray that sealand had leaked. Would that cause inflammation? Would an apicoectomy help? I face losing two teeth. also, is tooth ache after three days normal post-op (after two relatively pain free days?)
My dentist says I need some root canal work on a tooth that aches when I eat. She had drilled out the decay, nearly down to the root, but it still hurts, hence the root canal work. I had 1 injection for the filling, but I still nearly had to ask her to stop, as the pain was so bad. (My last dentist used to give me 2 injections for a filling, & it still used to hurt). I really dislike the idea of root canal work, can the tooth really be numbed enough for this work to take place? Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
I had a crown fitted (the first one I have had done) at the back of my mouth last week and it has been really sore since it was done. My dentist said that it may be a bit sensitive for a while but this is really sore – it wakes me up at night! I have been taking lots of painkillers, which I don’t like to do but it is so sore I don’t really have an option. I’d just like to know if this is normal? – there is no swelling or anything and it really doesn’t look like there is anything wrong. Should I leave it a week or so to see if it settles down or is this not normal!?
Hi i have the biggest fear of seeing a dentist. I have had a fear since childhood and the fear has now caused me to have rotten, broken and loss of teeth, I am only 31 and suffer a lot of pain at times but am too embarrassed to see a dentist. I avoid smiling as my teeth don’t do any justice to me. I have no confidence and at times I’m in so much pain i can’t focus on other things due to lack of sleep. Please help!!!
