Q.
Hello, i’d just like to know if i’m dentally ‘normal’?! i’m 32 years old, female, and work as a government researcher. i’ve got 7 fillings on my teeth (a couple very large) and a crown with a root treated tooth. is this normal for my age? i realise that everyone’s different, but, in terms of the cases you see everyday, does my dental work fit my age or have i had lots done? many thanks.

I have a deep decay in my tooth do i need a root canal

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi – I have been advised by my dentist that because of deep decay I need a root canal (last molder). But the tooth in question has no infection, no pain. My dentist now has cleaned the decay and closed the tooth with a provisional filling. In a few weeks I face a root canal treatment in excess of £1000 (incl. crown). My question is: do I really need a root canal? The tooth is calm, and if a precision crown is fitted, would it not seal the tooth effectively to avoid bacteria infecting the pulp? I just want to avoid killing a tooth just because of some decay … Some 20 years ago I had a similar case (I believe) and didn’t opt for the root canal; that tooth is still going strong. What are my options? Does it make sense to ask my dentist to only fit a crown without the underlying root canal treatment? Or am I asking for trouble?

A.
If there is decay under the to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

i have pain in my root canal teeth should i go for root canal re treatment or dental implant

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Q.
I had a root canal done on my last molar, bottom right side. Right after the root canal I started getting a constant pain on my lower jaw. The root canal was done in July 2008, I have been dealing with this pain for almost a year now. I finally went to see a dentist, he thinks that one of the roots was not completely filled in and I may possibly have a hairline fracture right in the middle of the molar. He’s advising I do a re-root canal treatment but if it is fractured, he would have to extract the tooth and insert an implant. What should I do? Root canal? Just extract my tooth and leave it alone or do an implant? Can’t afford to pay an arm and a leg.

A.
I would go with your dentists … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
