I have been told different things by two dentists. Who do I believe?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet I am at so so confused. I had a root canal treatment on my first premolar about 2 years ago. I didnt have a crown. Needless to say the remaining tooth broke after a year, first on the back. then at the front a year later. The embedded remaining piece which I assume being the filling, was loose. I had a white filling, I also had posts placed into my root canals. I first went to a dentist who said that nothing could be done in terms of having a crown, as what was left had been fractured, pointing to and showing me the loose bit that I myself earlier had discovered. Because of this the dentist recomended either an extraction, and the option between a bridge, denture or implant. I then went to another dentist, who said that I could have a crown fixed onto the tooth/ remaining piece even though this was a loose piece. I have really no idea what to do and who to believe and would really appriciate your help. Thank you, Kind Regards,
A.

How can I resolve the problem of my daughter’s tooth that is going to die?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, My 7 year old daughter had an accident at school (PE class) today and as a result has knocked out and broken one of her front teeth (upper jaw). We’ve taken her to a dentist who has performed a temporary procedure by glueing the tooth back together again and putting it back in place. His opinion is that the tooth will die over the next week. What is the best way of resolving this problem? Please also give me an idea of costs involved. Thank you very much,

Should I have the infected tooth removed and replaced with a dental implant?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Moore Last year, One of my top teeth (the 3rd tooth toward the back starting with the canine) was re-crowned, the root canal retreated and an infection treated as well. 8 months later I have another infection and I’m due to see a specialist to see if the infection can be treated. The tooth has a post that cannot be removed. If the infection cannot be treated, the tooth will have to be removed. If it’s possible, would you say that it’s worth to clear the infection (by lifting the gum) knowing that it could be recurrent, or should I have it removed and and an implant placed? My dentist charges £4500 for an implant and I cannot pay that for one implant. What would you say the cost for an implant with a good dentist should be in London? What are the main questions I should ask when looking for another dentist that specialises in placing implant? I would really appreciate your help?,

I am due to go to the dentist but I am suffering from a stomach ulcer, what should I do?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
I have a stomacl ulcer and find going to the dentist an ordeal as I am in considerable stomach pain as well as toothache. I tried going yesterday for a fillling but had to explain the problem and leave again without having the procedure done. Needless to say as soon as i got home the pain started to ease. Last time I was at this dentist I had severe diahorrrea before a root canal was attempted, I WONDER IF the dentist usually refers to the hospita in this sort of case.,

I have a big fear of the dentist but I am suffering from tooth ache, what can I do?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi there I am really worried One of molars decayed needed filling after the birth of my daughter it has been filled which lasted a year. I had horrendous toothache went to the dentist where they temporary filled it . To see if the nerves in my tooth would settle. If not they suggested a root canal or extraction. My tooth has been fine for 7 months now the filling has fallen out, although i have a huge whole my tooth is fine. I am however very worried a s my gum has been throbbing which is near to the tooth this happens only now and then. Its not constant. I am petrified that its an abcess. I have a phobia of the dentist I have even been subscribed valium in the past thats why for the past three weeks I have be putting off going to see them. Also I would be quite happy to pay the dentist to fill my tooth every year as I am pertrified of having a root canal also Thanks in advance,

Do you have any advice for someone who is extremely down about their teeth?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I don’t really know where to start, but i’m extremely down about my teeth 🙁 i’m 19 and just don’t know what to do, I feel the problems with them may be too big to sort. When I was younger I had to have root canal treatment on a front tooth, this left it very grey, I have since had a crown but they still don’t look right. Also, my bottom teeth became very rotten so i’ve had lots of work done on them, but they look awful as the white fillings I had are becoming discoloured. My teeth are far from straight, they all seem to be different colours. I just don’t understand it because i’ve always looked after them, but my dad had a lot of problems with his teeth & so has my mum. This is beginning to rule my life, I think about how hideous my teeth look 24/7. I saved up £400 to have this crown done which looks awful. I just don’t know where to turn, but at the age of 19 i’m not willing to live the rest of my life like this. So if you have an advice i’d be extremely grateful, i’m willing to save up any amount of money, no matter how long it takes. I also have pictures but not sure how to attach them on here. Thank you in advance.,
