Im experiencing pain in my teeth can u plz help?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have just been to my dentist as I was experiencing pain in my lower back teeth. I had an x-ray done and was told that my lower back teeth were fine but that I have alot of decay in my top canine tooth and that it will need fixing immediatly. She then poked and blew air into it asking me if it hurt which it didn’t and then said I would need the tooth sorting but said that it would be extremley difficult. I asked if she meant if I was going to lose the tooth or need a root canal and she said no nothing like that, she would just need to do a normal type filling but just that it was going to be very difficult. I am now scared and don’t understand. Please could you explain this to me a little more? What happens during a filling of you canine tooth and why would it be so difficult? Please please help!!!

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.

Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Q.
My gums have always been red and I’ve found it difficult to remove plaque so when I go to the dentist it is always being taken off. However recently I have had very painful gums and teeth in different areas of my mouth, and self diagnosed myself with gingivitus. Today I felt a pain in my upper back teeth at the right side and had to have a look, I have a hole which looks black in my gum, I’m certain I already have both top wisdom teeth, what could be the problem?
