Why Is My Tooth So Sharp?

Thursday, September 18th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes,
I have a question to ask you about one of my bottom teeth and I hope you can help me. Over the past couple of months it has been very sharp and cuts my tongue whenever I slide it across my bottom teeth. The dentist I regularly go to has filed it down to give it a smoother feel, but the sharpness is still constantly there. I also got tooth bonding done after it was filed, and the sharpness is still there. What do you suggest this could be, and what would I be able to do to get rid of this sharpness on my tooth? Thank you for your time.                                                          

I hope you can help me.

I Have Broken My Tooth And The Edge To It Is Really Sharp. Should I Go To The Hospital Or My Dentist?

Thursday, July 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I need to see a dentist as I have broken a tooth and the sharp edge is cutting into my tongue making it painful whenever I eat. It’s a constant throbbing now and has stopped me from eating. Just sitting here hurts. It feels like a knife. Is it worth going to the hospital for this type of problem? I’m a bit scared of going to the dentist after previous bad experiences. What should I do? I look forward to your reply. Thank you in advance.

I Seem To Have Chipped My Tooth And It Hurts My Tongue As It Has A Sharp Edge. Will I Need Surgery?

Thursday, January 16th, 2014
Q.

I seem to have chipped my tooth. When I run my tongue over, it has a real sharp edge and it makes my tongue sore. Will I need surgery or will it eventually smooth itself out? Just a concern that I wanted to ask you personally. Can I smooth it out by using something or just leave it? Can I buy anything from the chemist for a chipped tooth? Can there be an long-lasting damage to my tooth? Or could there be a concern it will it just smooth itself out in time? Hope it won’t need hospital treatment. Thank you for helping me out with this.

I chipped a tooth and the edge is sharp, what do you advise?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

Andrew, I think i’ve chipped a tiny little part of the inner biting edge of my front tooth in the corner off as when I run my tooth vertically between my front teeth it feels like a sharp knife and my tongue feels sore. Is there anything that I can do to get the tooth edge smooth and straight again? Will the sharp edge smooth out in time with brushing or dental polishing or would the edge have to be filed slightly? If something can be done, would I have to get a cosmetic dentist to fix it?. Thanks

Q.
After having a scale & polish at my present dental practice I am left with such a sharp gap between my lower front teeth that my tongue is permanently sore. The dental practitioner has told me there is nothing they can do to correct this except make me a gumshield to wear at night. But it is during the day that I have this awful irritation & soreness. Have I been given the right advice?,
