Is the pain due to sinus or crownless tooth?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Patel, I had a major sinus infection for about a week now. My dentist took an x-ray of #2 and #3 (both had root canals in the past with no complications)with no issues. Apparently, I have deep sinus cavities. Some info recently: #2 crown broke a month ago and was reordered for replacement next week. It’s been crownless. Now, #3 hurts bad. The dentist gave me pain relieve and antiobiotic. But #3 still #3 hurts. Is it sinus related? Is it becuase #2 crown is not there and things are shifting?

Could you please advise me on smile makeovers?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi there Justin, i could really use some good advice. I am hoping you can help me, my dilema is this…….. a good few years ago my dad who is a dentist put in 3 crowns on my incisors and my left lateral incisor and then a gap appeared between my 2 front teeth. I am a proffesional singer and my smile is everything to me so i was livid ! so i went to see a cosmetic surgeon near by and i have paid out a hell of alot of money to have my top 10 teeth done properly. This was september last year and i still have yet another wax up in !!! i have been 5 times to visit the lab to go over shape and size and there every time i take photots of teeth i like the look of and go over and over the shape but they cant seem to get it ? I am starting to get phobic of going back and having yet more injections and more wax up smashed out of my mouth its getting very frustrating and now one of the laterals is getting very tender and looks like a root canal might be in order. anyway the look i am going for is similer to katie prices l.a.a smile but my mouth is alot smaller and i have a small arch apparently ? so putting teeth the same size as hers just makes me look like a horse so i need get this sorted as its driving me crackers. My dentist seems insistent on using the same technition but said if all else fails he will go to the da vinci labs. I am thinking of saying its gone on long enough and to go to da vinci. what do you think ? any advice would be valuble to me. kind regards.

What procedure to be followed for smile makeover?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
I have seen a cosmetic dentist with a view to smile makeover. Treatment consists of old crown replacements and also a Bridge. For the Bridge I need to have a molar extracted. The teeth either side of it are old crowns. One of these teeth has infection in root and needs root canal treatment. I will be having diagnostic wax-up for the treatment. In your opinion in what order would you do the treatment. i.e. extraction first, root canal, wax-up etc. What proceedure would you follow. Thank you.

I m 18 can I have treatment for my teeth at NHS?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel, At the age of around 12 I chipped my front tooth after a fall leaving less than half of my front tooth behind. I had a filling applied to this, but the tooth has gradually darkened over time. I’ve heard that this is due to internal bleeding within the tooth. Yesterday, this filling fell out and I am yet again left with half a tooth. The tooth in question is a few shades darker than my other front tooth and it looks very bad. I’m an 18 year old on a gap year, with no money at all. Would the NHS be able to help with my problem because it really looks awful? Thank you
