My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
I have got clearstep braces which is costing quite a bit but because of this treatment I need to stay with the dentist I have however before my braces I had to undergo other necessary work, ie fillings in two back lower teeth and a crown on another back lower tooth which he claimed needed redoing. My new crown, looks great but I can’t eat on it, so sensitive when I try to chew or bite into anything, the pain is so severe it’s unbearable. My dentist says just use sensodyne toothpaste and it will be okay??? I have been doing this for six months now! On the other lower side (new fillings) I have had terrible toothache with swelling which he said was an abscess, gave me amoxicillin which did’nt get rid of it! I have now been told to go back after christmas! I am still in agony, my face is swollen and I am unable to eat and now looking forward to a very painful christmas. I don’t know what to do as I have so far spent thousands of pounds and don’t really want to go elsewhere, what can I do to ease the pain?

I’m reluctant to lose more tooth surface than is absolutely necessary, but will an onlay/partial crown be sufficient for my very hard bite and probable night grinding?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Dear Andrew; I’m 31, live in Essex and have had a string of dental disasters with my current practicioner, all concerning the same two teeth (last lower molars, I have no wisdom teeth there) following accidently biting on a stone in some food. The result is that I now require a retreatment of one root canal (which I’m having in Brentwood) and following that some kind of restoration work (which the specialist endodontist does not undertake). The endodontist suggested that because I have a large amount of healthy tooth left an onlay or a three-quarter crown would be a sufficient restoration for me. I’ve previously had inlays but these kept falling out and have become displaced around 4 times each (one on each of the molars in question) in the last two years, culminating the necessity for the current retreatment. I’m reluctant to lose more tooth surface than is absolutely necessary, but will an onlay/partial crown be sufficient for my very hard bite and probable night grinding? I travel a lot and would hate to loose the restoration on a trip, not have immediate access to a dentist and for the root canal to fail (again) as a result of this. Could you please advise me as to the course of action you would take? Best wishes

I have a grade 2 mobility I need to get root canal done. Can i remove the tooth?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a grade 2 mobility of UR5 following gum disease and bone loss. I need a root canal treatment on this tooth but due to bone loss there is high probability that I might actually lose the tooth altogether (according to my dentist). My question: could I ask for the tooth to be removed now, rather than waiting and would I still need a root canal? THankyou for your time in advance

A.
If you remove the tooth then i… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I need a root canal. Are there alternatives? Do dentist still use silver caps?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Do dentist still use silver caps? I need a root canal, however are there alternatives to treatment? This procedure cost too much and the crown is expensive as well. I was thinking maybe they can clean the tooth and then just put a silver crown to protect it.

The only cure available to my sensitive tooth is removal of the nerve

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
My front tooth and one my doubles at the side have become very sensitive – on the front one it seems to be at the very top inside I have been back to my dentist three times and he gave me some brown flouridge to apply each night but this has made no difference – he says the only way to cure it now is to remove th nerve. Years ago I remember that there was some type of coating that was put over the teeth and ultra violet light was used to harden it in fact I had a very tiny tooth next to my large front tooth and my dentist at the time made it a bit bigger using this method and it has lasted some 30 years – do you still use this method or have I no alternative other than to have the nerve removed and I assume a cap put on. I need to keep costs to a minimum.

A.
I think the first option … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My sensitive tooth has gone worse after the old filling was removed and new filling went in

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I have been suffering from sensitive tooth for more than a month. When I visited the dentist he used desensitized product to relieve the symptoms, which did not help. Now today I went again and he took little bit of my old filling and filled it with a new one and also around the sensitive teeth. My question is that I feel my tooth has gone worse do I need to give it time or shell I go back to him again. I tried to brush which was not pleasant.

A.
It might be worth giving it 5-… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
