Will anesthetic cause problems to the heart?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
Q.
Why is it that when I have a dentist drill on my teeth I always have some sensativity even if given a second dose of novacaine. Second question, I have recently had palpitations of the heart after about a week of using novacaine. Could this be the cause of my palpitations? They haven’t stopped for about a month now. Any advice? I have never had heart problems before.

Will fizzy drinks erode enamel and effect the Whitening process?

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Q.
I have been given a kit called ‘day white excel 3’ from my dentist in Australia. I used the kit last week for 9 days straight and was meant to leave it on for half an hour, but sometimes left it for over an hour. I had very sensitive teeth afterwards and felt that diet coke or anything acidic afterwards was attacking my teeth. It looks like some enamel may have been eroded the root s of some of my teeth, is this possible or could the whitening highlight a problem that may already be there? In addition do fizzy drinks and sparkling water erode the enamel on teeth over time? Thanks in advance.

Is dentures a best option for my sensitive teeth

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
I have gum disease and tomorrow I am having yet another tooth taken out from the top this will only leave 7 teeth, no back teeth. It is difficult to eat meat now and I cannot bear my teeth to be cleaned as they are so sensitive. I feel my only option now is to have the 7 teeth removed and wear a top denture. I do have a phobia about the Dentist and at 50 now it will never improve. My Dentist has now realised that I cannot put up with the pain of them being cleaned and would need each tooth to be numbed. Do you think my best option is to go for a top denture?

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Q.
I have recently had my old silver fillings replaced with white fillings and have had a lot of pain when eating hot,cold and sweet foods. My dentist said this is normal as white fillings are sensitive for some time after. It’s been about 3 months now and still the same. No x-rays were taken prior to or after having them filled. What do you suggest? Many Thanks

I had work done on my fangs 3 times now but it is still sensitive advice?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had FOUR filling redone recently. on front two teeth on right side and front two teeth on left side of two middle front teeth. They all are fine except one of the fang teeth.I had work done on that tooth 3 times now because she left a hole on the side.. and had to redo the filling, then she redid it and got blood in the filling so it was dark! Then she had to redo that again! So FINALLY it looks right and feels right.. except the sensitive/pain part. It is not right on the gumline.. it is like on the outer edge between the gum and middle of the side of the tooth (so a quarter of the way down from the gumline) Its sensitive/small pain when I touch it with my nail only and a little to cold air.. like when i raise my lip and breath in air.. Thats about it. other than that it doesnt bother me.. i just keep touching it becasue i know its sensitive and i want it to go away! I called the dentist and she was saying that she wasnt going to fix anymore and would only do crown! I argued with her since she was saying she had to fix it so many times already. but yet those times she fixed it was HER FAULT! I went to another dentist and he said it looked fine. He just looked at it, pocked a little and grinded a spot that was bumped up on it.. and he said sometimes a tooth will be sensitive. Its really hard to explain the feeling I get when I push with my nail.. soI say sensitive.. but its like a pain/weird feeling. And if I dont touch it it doesnt hurt.

My two filled teeth are extremely sensitive do i need a root canal?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Q.
Back in May I had to have my two top wisdom teeth pulled. They were bothering me so they needed to go. Upon examination and x-rays I was told I needed two fillings as well where I had pretty much already had fillings before. I went ahead and had those done as to not cause problems in the future. After the treatment the two teeth that had fillings have been EXTREMELY sensitive to hot and cold to where it would be an 8 for me on a scale of 1-10 in pain. I can’t drink drinks with ice without a straw, biting into freshly cooked hot food is uncomfortable and they will start to throb. I went back to the dentist who said they were big fillings so that may be the problem and suggested I just not drink or eat anything hot or cold (which I think is asburd, I mean who will never drink an ice cold drink in their life again?) Anyways, she said that if it didn’t get better she might have to do a root canal. My problem is, I didn’t have this problem until she said I needed them filled. There was no sensitivity or pain or anything. Now I have it and need a possible root canal? I’m just not sure this is the case and I feel maybe she did something wrong. I read soemwhere that if you don’t keep I think the tooth or the bonding moist that the middle part gets dehydrated and can be sensitve? Do you agree with the dentist or should I have a second opinion to make sure the root canal isn’t my only option? I just don’t trust the dentists solution but then again I don’t know much about dentistry.

After I had my new bridges the sensitivity didnt settle down advice

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
I lost a top tooth, fourth from front, due to infection four years ago. My dentist fitted a bridge to the next ajoining tooth which lasted three years and then decayed underneath. It kept falling out and in June my dentist removed it, used the remainder of the tooth,strengthened with metal pins and bridged from the my next tooth at the back. On July 6th I went to have my permanent bridge filled. The temporary had been fine but sensitive to cold, which I mentioned. The temp had to be drilled off and this was very uncomfortable in contact with cold, which I mentioned. When the new bridge was fitted it felt fine apart from sensitivity which I hoped would improve. It did not and became worse with my jaw and ear aching and so I returned to the dentist last week who gave me 400g ibuprofen and anti -biotics as he said there is now an infection in the root. He implied that is was my fault as I had not returned early enough, however I had explained about the sensitivity when it was being fitted and was told it would settle down. It had only been fitted two weeks before. I paid £1200 for this work and am very concerned about the resolution of this problem and that I may loose the tooth and bridge. I am also due to go on holiday in less than two weeks time and have lost faith in my dentist. Please advise.
