My wife suffering with lot of pain after filling Is this normal?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Q.
Dr Moore, My wife attended the dentist last month for a routine check-up. The dentist told her that she needed a filling and made another appointment for her to attend for this. later on, after having the filling done, she was havig a lot of pain. She went back to the dentist and he told her that he would have to remove the nerve from this tooth. My wife was still having a lot of pain. within the last week, her mouth & face has swollen causing her extreme pain. She went back to the dentist again and he removed another nerve from a tooth at the front of her mouth. I am very concerned that my wife has been suffering with pain for several weeks now as a result of attending the dentist for a routine check-up. Is this normal?

Is there any possibility to extract as many teeth to hv avg smile?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Q.
As an early teen I had chipped the top, front 6 of my teeth rollerblading. They felt loose for a while and had always bothered me the way they healed. It bothers me how my front teeth are displayed slightly misaligned to my left and with an overbite as well. The Army Dentist insisted on putting veneers over them. That never did anything to fix the misalignment problem of the front two top teeth being aligned under my nose. It seems the injury I must have suffered as a kid made the teeth grow in this way after they healed. I am disappointed and finished with the idea of trying to salvage my smile at this point in my life. I am wondering if you may be able to let me know if there is a possibility that there is a Dentist out there that would extract my front, top 6 teeth or as many as needed to have an average looking smile that is aligned under my nose. Thanks very much

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Mr Tennet, I used to be a patient of yours at cadbury’s dental practice and thought it may be better to ask you than any of the other doctors. I have two teeth at the front which are a little longer in vertical height than the others… My aim is for them all to be the same vertical length, so ideally I would like them straightened across the board. How much would it cost just for that?
