I have a crown on my right canine tooth,the root has an airline fracture,i have been to a private dentist who has taken several x rays and impressions,i was expecting him to say i could have a bridge,but he has said the root should be surgically removed. I also have 3 other crowns the left canine being one of them and the same has been suggested for this the root is not damaged on the left side.A plate with false teeth, I am in a state of shock there is no way I could tolerate a plate.Should I get a second opinion?.
Do I need to get an implant fitted straight after having a tooth extracted?
Thursday, November 18th, 2010Q.
My back molar was extracted and then the 2nd molar broke (there is 1/4 left). I have had a root canal, but now there is a vertical fracture and I need to get the tooth extracted and replaced with an implant. I was trying to wait for about 6 months but now the remaining tooth is breaking which will leave only the root. Can I leave the root in until I am ready to have my implant which will be in about 6 months. There was an infection forming so the dentist gave me some antibiotics. What can be done? My dental surgeon likes to do implants within 10 days of extractions but I cannot afford it.,

Will the NHS provide bridges and implants?
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010Q.
I have recently been involved in a serious car accident (6 days ago) i lost both front teeth and my middle bottom and fractured a top incisor. i was taken to hospital with two of my teeth and was told they could be implanted within 4 hours, the hospital failed to even examine my teeth and in the end decided just to treat my broken forearm and to leave my teeth until 2 days later. By the time this decision was made they had missed the 4hour window. I had my fractured tooth removed and am waiting for an appointment to take out the root. I have been informed the nhs do not perform implants but i am a student aged just 22 who cannot afford £2,000 per tooth when surely it was not my fault they had not tried to implant my real teeth. I’m at a real loss here, im extremely down, refuse to go out in public and am struggling to eat. Do the nhs provide bridges? would that be applicable to me? the bottom tooth i have been told can be fixed by wearing a bottom brace to close the gap.i have yet to see my dentist,this will be next week. I’m just after some advice please as I’m so worried i will have dentures at the age of 22 or that it will not be sorted out appropriatley. regards,

A tooth that was bonded on recently came out grey. What happened and how is it fixed?
Friday, September 10th, 2010Q.
Hoping you’re having a good day! My dentist bonded my upper front tooth to make it wider to close a gap. The tooth is between two other teeth that are attached to a partial. When he was finished bonding it…it was gray instead of white. He said he doesn’t know what went wrong, and told me that he matched it to the whitest color on the chart/strip they use. He took an xray, and I don’t have any root damage. What do you think went wrong? How does my dentist fix this? It is very noticeable as my other natural teeth are very white. Please help me. I hope I hear from you soon. I am seeing my dentist tomorrow! Thanks so very very much! ,

What is the best option to move or replace a tooth? Should I go for an implant or a bridge?
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Q.
Hello, I fell off my bike as a child when my adult teeth were very new and smacked my left front tooth – the root had not finished developing and the tooth subsequently died and discoloured. I had a root canal and a crown placed on it as an adult but I think my teeth have since moved a bit and it sticks out now at the front and has been borderline wobbly for years. I am wondering whether there is any point in getting braces (for the 3rd time! At 38!) to move a dead root or should I go for an implant or a bridge (am worried there might not be enough room for another tooth the same size as my existing front tooth). Having had all 4 wisdom teeth out in one go and two lots of braces I must admit to not being so fond of dentists so the least painful option is always going to be appreciated! I should also admit that I live on island in the Maldives so I can’t get to the dentist often…. does this rule out braces completely? Apologies for the novel, hope you can point me in the right direction! Thank you for your help,

Is it possible to have my gums repaired somehow and also have veneers?
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Q.
Hi. I have for fifteen years had a very noticable upside down V shaped split in my gum on my front top tooth. It came about following an absess which managed to split my gum and caused the gum yo recede. What’s visible is my tooth and what I assume to be part of the root. I’ve always been conscious of the problem and one or two dentists have mentioned referring me to a specialist but I’ve never taken them up. My front teeth now show signs of wear and the other front tooth has blackened following treatment of another absess. I’m thinking about veneers but am conscious that I would also like the gum repaired somehow. Is this possible (the gap at its widest is about 5mm and its about 7mm long).,

I had a root canal done three years ago, and I now think I need a crown. Is it too late?
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010Q.
Hi I had root canal done about three yrs ago. The dentist who did it is no longer there and i did not get a crown fitted. Is it too late to fit the crown on the back tooth this was done to? I have noticed the tooth has a blue tint now.,

Can headaches and dizziness be linked to an erupted tooth?
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010Q.
I have Mesiodens on the front above my front two teeth. It is erupted and you can totally see it. My question is can this tooth cause other symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, facial pressure, etc. If it was impacted on a nerve or root can it cause this?,

How long should I wait for the filling to become pain free, before I go to see a dentist?
Friday, June 4th, 2010Q.
I’m having pain after a new filling in my back molar #30, only when I eat, chewing on food. I had a white composite filling put in. I had it x ray, and the dentist said it look fine. The root and filling look fine. The dentist said I could be experiencing some inflammation in the tooth from the procedure. The dentist didn’t think I had a crack and no infection. He smooth it down a bit, and told me to take Aleve pain medicine over the counter. The filling is mostly on the backside of the tooth. Would this make the tooth more prone to being sensitive to biting for awhile? How long should I wait after a filling, if it doesn’t get better? It’s been 8 days since I had it done. Thanks.,
