In pain after getting veneers and crowns

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had 7 porcelain veneers put on my top teeth. I have had pain ever since. I cannot drink anything hot or cold because they are so sensitive. I also had 2 teeth crowned in the back of my mouth and they hurt as well. My dentist gave me a prescription for toothpast that is supposed to add fluoride, but it has done absolutely nothing to help. Is there anything that will relieve my pain. I hate these things.

I recently did a root canal the tip of the K-File used to remove the nerve during the procedure broke in my mouth

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently did a root canal. After the procedure the Dentist informed me that the tip of the K-File used to remove the nerve during the procedure broke in my mouth. He noted that this is normal. This happens frequently to dentist. He noted that it will just become part of the filling and should not create any problem later. Is this correct? Pls. advise. Thank you

Q.
A few mnoths ago I had an infection of one of my top teeth next to my wisdom tooth. It has since been slightly loose. I am not keen on extraction so would a cap or crown be beneficial.

my dentist has identified a cavity to the root at the rear and recommended a root canal filling before fitting veneer

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I am considering 3 veneers to improve chipped and ugly front teeth. On the lateral incisor my dentist has identified a cavity to the root at the rear and recommended a root canal filling before fitting veneer, as he said it could lead to future problems – abscess etc. The tooth does not give me any pain and I am slightly concerned about the implications of root canal filling, weakening the tooth etc. Do you think the dentist is correct?

A.
This is difficult for me to te… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
