Is root canal treatment appropriate for sensitive teeth?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
Q.
I had a filling in october 2007. My tooth has always been very sensitive to cold and hot stuff since the filling. The tooth is however not painful except recently when I try to bite on it. Secondly, if a put a sweet or anything sweet on the surface of the filling its very very painful.My dentist recently recommended a root canal treatmet. Do you think it would be the appropriate treatment considering the tooth is not painful but just sensitive to hot/cold and to feeling like when a spoon touches it.The tooth in question is the first molar.What could be the problem

How can i correct tooth discoloration and front teeth are translucent are these about to crack?

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had a root canal done about 13 years ago on one of my front teeth. Now, I am starting to see discoloration, and the tooth has a very little chip (which can’t really be seen). My question is do you have any suggestions what I can do to fix this problem of discoloration? Crown? Venners? Also, the rest of my front teeth are very thin on the bottom, also translucent. Do you what that may be from, and how can i avoid having problems with those teeth in the future? I just think that those teeth may be more prone to cracking? Is that true? Thank you very much for answering my questions.

Infection in teeth aftet root canal treatment

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
My current dentist has started me on a treatment plan. today he has told me that as well as this plan i will then need another treatment plan at a cost of minimum £1400. I am shocked that what I believed to have been the entire treatment is costing me £1800 and now there will be a further £1400 minimum to pay later. The story starts like this I went to an NHS dentist they sent me to a consultant he advised exstraction of my two back teeth,or implants. I decided two implants would cost to much so was going to opt for one implant and an exstraction, as this would be cheaper. I went to a private dentist who told me that the best course of action was to try and save the teeth inspite of the large decay and infection that had eaten the bottoms of the teeth away and this whole treatment would cost £1800 this includeds 3 normal fillings. an implant would have cost about £2000 so I was happy with this. But now it seems that I will have to pay an un-exspected £1400 and I am also at the mercy of the infection not clearing up, in which case all root canal treatment leading up to this will have been a total waste of time. I hope this has given you enoughth information, could you please give me your exspert advice on this.

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.

Capped teeth giving a wedged feeling in the gums

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Two years ago I had root canal treatment on two bottom teeth. Both teeth where then capped with gold. Just lately especially when eating meat one of the teeth feels uncomfortable not a pain just a feeling as if something is wedged between the teeth and pressing on the gum. This sensation has been coming and going for about a month now – any suggestions?The treatment I had was over £1,000 for each tooth, I would be disappointed if the proceedure has failed to do its job. Thanks

The crown on my teeth is too large

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Suri! Last week I had a root canal on my #14 molar and had a crown put on. After the root canal I had my temporary crown on for about a week and a half with no problems. My dentist put my permanent crown on two days ago and it seemed much larger than the temporary and the adjoining teeth. I experienced a lot of pain for the first day and could not chew on it. Yesterday I went back to the dentist complaining that the crown was too large and I wanted him to change it. He told me he thought it was ok and the pain should go away in a few days. I’ve had 4 crowns done before and never had that kind of pain afterwards. Right now the pain has pretty much subsided (except for a little tightness) and I can now chew on it, however I still feel the crown is too large. Should I insist that he changes this out since I feel I shouldn’t have had pain for 2 days afterwards and cosmetically it does not coform with the size of the adjoining teeth?

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.
