my teeth become very worn away and sensitive due to acid erosion please advice

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi,I have become increasingly worried about my teeth over the past few years, as they have become very worn away and sensitive due to what I have been told is Acid Erosion. Not only have they become transparent at the ends, and seem to be getting progressively worse,they are also starting to chip and I have cracks down the middle of my incisors. I have been to two different dentists, and they have both told me that if anything my teeth are so good that they are too long and are just wearing because of this. I was also told that I grind my teeth in my sleep and I should wear a night guard.. I was wondering if it is possible to use bleaching trays as a form of guard that I recently used, instead of seperately buyin a night guard. I’m very dissatisfied with the dentists I’ve seen as they seem to be baffled as to why my teeth are so transparent at the ends, and don’t think it’s my diet as I don’t eat citrus fruits etc that claim to cause this acid erosion. I do use a special toothpaste called ‘Sensodyne Pronamel’ to help strenghten the remaining enamel and prevent further damage but, I really don’t think it has made any difference… I have always had really good teeth but, these problems are really starting to depress me and everyone who is speaking to me in person are starting to notice these problems especially the acid erosion. Please write back to me, as from what I have read on this site, you are a very good dental surgeon. Regards

my teeth are very sensitive and gums appeared to be shrunk what can i do?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Q.
Last year during a routine check up, my dentist told me my gums are not attached to my teeth correctly. Recently my teeth have become very sensitive and little gaps have appeared at the top of my gums as if they have shrunk. What can I do? I am so scared I will lose my teeth. I don’t want to smile at the moment and am very self-conscious.

I have problem with sensitive teeth how can i get it done?

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Q.
My problem is sensitive teeth and it is really getting me down. I have visited my dentist twice and told her about it, she has taken x rays and done a bite test and nerve vitality test. She just recommends sensitive toothpaste. The thing is its specifically 2 teeth, my others are fine. The first sensitive one had a composite filling put on to repalce a silver one about a year and half ago. Its the right side upper back tooth. The filling caused nothing but sensitivity! I pur up with it for ages then eventually had it redone, which has helped but not 100% non sensitive. Also the dentist thought she saw a slight crack in it while redoing it, I think she put some desensitiser in it as well. The other sensitive tooth is the lower back tooth directly under the filling one. This is the odd one that the dentist cant find anything wrong with. It is sensitive most days to a greater or lesser degree. It is triggered by hot and cold and sometimes biting. Also since having this filling and onlay the other side I feel that my bite has never felt quite right since I get an aching in my bottom jaw at times too i think from the nerves in the teeth. The other sensitive one is the lower back tooth, directly under that filling

In pain after getting veneers and crowns

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had 7 porcelain veneers put on my top teeth. I have had pain ever since. I cannot drink anything hot or cold because they are so sensitive. I also had 2 teeth crowned in the back of my mouth and they hurt as well. My dentist gave me a prescription for toothpast that is supposed to add fluoride, but it has done absolutely nothing to help. Is there anything that will relieve my pain. I hate these things.

Is root canal treatment appropriate for sensitive teeth?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
Q.
I had a filling in october 2007. My tooth has always been very sensitive to cold and hot stuff since the filling. The tooth is however not painful except recently when I try to bite on it. Secondly, if a put a sweet or anything sweet on the surface of the filling its very very painful.My dentist recently recommended a root canal treatmet. Do you think it would be the appropriate treatment considering the tooth is not painful but just sensitive to hot/cold and to feeling like when a spoon touches it.The tooth in question is the first molar.What could be the problem

My teeth have become sensitive all of a sudden and I am being asked to remove the nerve

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Suddenly one of my front teeth and one at the same side have become very sensitive to hot and cold fluids – I have had several lots of a brown flouride to rub on but this has made no difference and I have now been advised to have the nerves removed. Can my teeth not be coated with the white substance that used to be used and subjected to ultra violet light to harden? I had a small tooth made bigger using this method and that has lasted for over 30 years with no probs.

The only cure available to my sensitive tooth is removal of the nerve

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
My front tooth and one my doubles at the side have become very sensitive – on the front one it seems to be at the very top inside I have been back to my dentist three times and he gave me some brown flouridge to apply each night but this has made no difference – he says the only way to cure it now is to remove th nerve. Years ago I remember that there was some type of coating that was put over the teeth and ultra violet light was used to harden it in fact I had a very tiny tooth next to my large front tooth and my dentist at the time made it a bit bigger using this method and it has lasted some 30 years – do you still use this method or have I no alternative other than to have the nerve removed and I assume a cap put on. I need to keep costs to a minimum.

A.
I think the first option … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
