I had a sharp shooting pain in a molar with some sensitivity what would be the reason

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi I would really appreciate your help. This afternoon I was having a cold drink when I experienced a sharp shooting pain in a molar I had filled a few months ago. I also experienced some sensitivity in another filled molar but not to the same extent. All this was accompained by a general ache in my teeth. This morning I had no pain and drank cold drinks with no problem, do you have any idea why the pain suddenly came on just a few hours later? I chewed a lot of gum today which I haven’t done for a year or so. Could I have chipped the filling? I checked in the mirror and there doesn’t appear to be any holes but maybe I missed them? I don’t really have the time or money to go to the dentist this week but I am desperate to sort this problem as it is my birthday this weekend. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

I have a fractured root canal and is if there any side effects of having the tooth extracted

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
Q.
I had a root canal on my right back molar. The root canal unfortunately fractured before the crown was put in place and I needed to have the tooth extracted. My dentist is giving me the option of an implant. When I smile the extraction can not be noticed. I don’t mind the space for chewing. My quesion is if there are other effects of having the tooth extracted (will the spacing of my other teeth change, will the top back molars descend if there isn’t a tooth to chew with on the bottem jaw). I would appreciate any advice that you might have.

i had my root canal through the back of the crown and i am in pain after it would it settle down

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown placed on my front tooth about 3 years. The tooth was fine but discoloured and the dentist (I now see a new dentist) who did it put a crown on after failing with two attempts at a veneer on that tooth. It has never felt right but as yet haven’t been able to afford to replace it.The gum is slightly raised above the crown and there is a thin ‘lip’ where the crown isn’t exactly against the gum. This has been checked by two dentists who say that the crown isn’t the best, but is fine and shouldn’t cause problems. About a month ago I had severe pain on that tooth and my dentist performed a root canal through the back of the crown.The nerve was apparently sclerosed and it was tricky to find it and get it all out.However, the dentist was confident that she got it all. I was still in pain after that and the dentist went in and cleaned it out again. I’ve had three courses of antibiotics which haven’t seemed to do much. Even though the pain is less, the tooth still hasn’t settled and feels sensitive to touch and throbs sometimes. the gum line at the top is also sore to the touch and causes a throbbing pain. The dentist(who is not my usual dentsit as she was away) says that she will clean it again if pain persists.She finished the root treatment a week ago. My usual dentist says she would have pulled the tooth already. As it is a front tooth, obviously i want to avoid this! The x-rays look fine.What could be going on with the tooth? Is it likely to settle at this stage?

It could settle down but somet… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My gums wont stop bleeding should i need a root canal treatment please advice

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I wanted to ask about gum disease which I have suffered from for years now, I am 33 years old. I have been getting my teeth cleaned every 3-4 months, I use a sonicare brush, I regularly floss, but my gums won’t stop bleeding. I am very concerned now as I hated the way my teeth looked so I started Invisalign in March this year. When I wear the aligners, I often can see blood through them, I told my dentist this but he told me this can happen with Invisalign. I don’t know what I can do to stop this problem. Its got so bad that I avoid going out unless I have to as my gums bleed so often. I am missing out on so many things due to this. Do you think I need root canal treatment? I have had ex-rays done by 3 different dentists and all of them have said my teeth are alright, and that I just need to keep my regular routine of cleaning my teeth. Please can you advise me of what treatment you would recommend. Thank you
