Im 30 and my gums are receding and my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks please advice

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Q.
I am a 30 year old mother of one. When I was in my early teens, I used to literally ‘peel’ my gums that rest on my teeth using my fingernails, and, I found that a new (thin) layer of gum used to grow back the next day, and I then used to continue this habit. I stopped for 2 years (mid-teens) when I had track braces fitted in, but then continued after they were taken off. I noticed when I was about 22 years of age that the thin layer of gums that I used to peel did not grow back, but I still perservered occasionally with this (yes, I admit!) bad habit! As a result, I have receding gums, and would like advice on what can be done to help restore my gums. Currently, because of my receding gums, I am finding that my teeth are very sensitive to cold drinks and foods. I would be extremely grateful for your help/advice please. Thanks!

One of my fang teeth is sensitive only i touch it with my nail how can i go about fixing it

Friday, July 10th, 2009
Q.
I had four fillings redone.. 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. The outside tooth on the left side. 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 part. It is almost near the gum line.. and is on the outer edge. Its sensitive 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. It has now been two weeks since I had work done and still sensitive to touch with my fingernail. Kinda like a foil against tooth feeling..but maybe a lil worse. I am using a prescription strenth tooth paste for sensitivty. I noticed today that the same tooth on the other side is doing the same thing.. just a little though, DEFF not as bad as the other one. And its not getting bothered by cold air like the first one.. jsut when i touch my nail to it i feel a little.. not much.

It sounds as though the fillin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Half of my new amalgam filling has fallen out and my teeth are sensitive what is wrong in my teeth

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Q.
I have had the same amalgam fillings for 35 years and I never had any trouble with them. Last week my new dentist told me I had a small cavity on the side of one of my teeth and suggested that since I was already going to be numb from the novacane, that I could replace the silver filling with a clear one. Once I was numb he asked if I wanted the tooth next to it replace as well. He replaced that amalgam filling too. The next morning half of the new filling fell out. I called the doc and he didn’t believe me, said he’s never heard of such a thing. Went in the next day and half the filling was gone as I told him. He drilled the entire “new” filling out and replaced it again. Now my tooth is extremely sensitive and throbs. I NEVER had problems with this tooth prior, none. I wish I had not given him permission to replace a perfectly good tooth. Why do you think half my filling fell out and will I always have this pain? Thank you.

Can u explain why the tooth whitening process left me with extreme sensitivity and loose teeth

Saturday, July 4th, 2009
Q.
A year ago I underwent a teeth whitening process at my NHS dentist but almost immediately after the procedure I began to experience very severe pain – similar to toothache – in every tooth. This discomfort lasted for 48 hours before subsiding although I was left with extremely sensitive teeth. A few weeks later I noticed that several of my teeth – in fact five in all – were loose and I then began to experience problems with pain in these loose teeth and the surrounding gums. As a result I have had to have one of these teeth extracted and I suspect that the others will have to go too. Can you explain why the tooth whitening process should have had this devastating affect on my teeth and whethere there is anything that can be done to reverse the loosening of the teeth, cure the over-sensitivity and restore my gums back to health?

I’m not sure the whitening wou… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Q.
I had a filling replaced on my upper right 2nd to last tooth. then had a piece of on top of the tooth fixed on the bottom left. after ward my bite was so off my front bottom teeth hit my top on the inside. went back and the dentist said it wasn’t from the work I needed a night guard. went to another dentist who said the same thing. sill don’t think they were right because my bite got worse to the point I couldn’t chew gum anymore because it bothered me so much. went back to my dentist recently and he took a drill to the back of my front teeth and shaved some off to correct it. now the back of my front teeth are very sensitive. is that normal and should that have been done. because now I am thinking he drilled off the enamel please let me know your thoughts.
