I was recently obliged to have a bottom far rear molar tooth canal treated

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I was recently obliged to have a bottom far rear molar tooth root canal treated, but when I went to an NHS dentist afterwards for a crown he told me that wouldn’t be necessary for six months. Now I read that uncrowned root canal teeth are at risk of fracturing especially with a heavy bite like mine. What is your opinion given that I would be hard pushed to finance private crown treatment having already laid out, what for me is a very large sum of money (£560) for the canal work. Also, after four weeks the treated tooth is still sensitive to the touch (though no actual toothache as such). Is this a cause for concern? Thanks for your advice

I had a root canal done on one of my middle lower teeth

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I had a root canal done on one of my middle lower teeth about 10 years ago due to an abcess. I had no trouble until a few months ago when the tooth started to fall apart. My dentist told me i needed a crown. He has taken the original tooth down to gumline and inserted 4 small pins and built a little square platform for the porcelain over metal tooth to cement to. The tooth fitted ok until last week when it fell off after only being on 2 or 3 months. I am having it re-fitted in a week after it has been re-cleaned. Im wondering whether he needs to insert a post to stop it from falling off again? The other problem is that ive had bad breath ever since he fitted it….there is a hairline gap between it and my gum which i can get toothfloss right under. Am i going to be stuck with this forever or is it just poorly fitted?

I woud like to know how much discomfort to expect after veneers are fitted

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Q.
I woud like to know how much discomfort to expect after veneers are fitted. I had 6 veneers fitted three weeks ago and have had to take strong painkillers night and day ever since. This is not sensitivity but a throbbing pain which barely leaves me for any length of time. I stay almost 70 miles away from my dentist but saw him today. He says this is normal and usually takes anything from 2 to 8 weeks for everything to settle down. Is this truly the case? If I had known this was going to happen I would never have had it done. Please reply. Thank you for your time.
