I have a sensitive tooth. Should I have it removed?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

I have tooth that has become very sensitive to hot and cold.
my dentist has suggested I rub sensodyne toothpaste.
How long should I continue this as if this does not work she has suggested I have deep root filing to have the nerve removed.
I had terrible experience some years ago when another dentist tried a similar thing and I experieced excrusiating pain.
Because of this i am more inclined to have the tooth removed.
Do you have any advice and are some aneathestics more effective than others?

Would laser whitening treatment on my sensitive teeth help to make them whiter?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi – I completed a 2 week professional home whitening kit approx 4 years ago (provided by my dentist) since then I have had a few “overnight” top up treatments. I am finding that my teeth appear to be no longer as white as before. However, the last time I used the home gel (10%) I experinced a lot of sensitivity afterwards. Might an instant laser whitening treatment at the dentist be a better option perhaps> Many thanks. ,

I have been ill lately and unable to clean my teeth, which has eroded the enamel. I am scared to go to the dentist. Can you help me?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
I haven’t been to the dentist in a few years. The last dentist I saw was rude and hurt me alot over a simple fissure seal, and ignored me when i told him so. This has made me really nervous about seeing another dentist since then. In the last few weeks I have noticed some of my teeth are slightly sensitive and I have enamel wearing away on three of my top teeth near the gum line. I have always looked after my teeth so I realise I have to go to a dentist soon but I don’t really trust dentists anymore and was wondering if you had any idea what could be causing my enamel wearing away? I have problems with my stomach and tonsils the last year which means now and again I get very ill and throw up alot. Its since then that I have had problems with my teeth and thought it might be because I can’t brush my teeth well during these “ill times” very well as my throat swells and the slightest pressure on my throat makes me sick. I would just like an idea of what it could be before I pluck up the courage to see a dentist again. Thanks,
A.

My teeth are sensitive after root canal treatment. Could tooth next to it be causing problem?

Friday, November 5th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I had a root canal 2 years ago and crowned a few months ago. The past 2 weeks I have been getting pain on this tooth if I eat on it and it is sensitive to hot and cold. I have seen an NHS Dentist, who took an xray. She said she cannot see anything wrong with that tooth, but the tooth next to it had ‘shadowing’ around the top and bottom, so she wants to do a filling first, then possibly root canal on the other tooth, which she said could be causing the sensitive tooth to cause me pain. She did say that the tooth previously root canalled had one canal filled right to the bottom and other canal stopped half way down. Would the xray show if the root canal has not worked? And is this sometimes the case that another tooth could be causing pain in the tooth next to it? I am finding it hard trusting this dentist, as they don’t have a very good reputation, but I cannot afford the private dentist who did my original root canal. Thank you.,
