My bridge unit has a very slight wobble or rocking movement is this ok?

Friday, June 26th, 2009
Q.
I have a 4 unit bridge on the upper right of my mouth- this was fitted at the end of 2006 and I clean it well and floss underneath. I have been aware for quite some time of a very slight “wobble” or “rocking” movement when I apply pressure to one side or the other. Is this Ok? there is no pain and it it seems very securely fixed on to my teeth- is it just that there is a two tooth space between the actual teeth holding the bridge? I could not affor a new one and my dentist doesn’t seem overly concerned about it. Please advise

A loose bridge can cause you a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a deep decay in my tooth do i need a root canal

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi – I have been advised by my dentist that because of deep decay I need a root canal (last molder). But the tooth in question has no infection, no pain. My dentist now has cleaned the decay and closed the tooth with a provisional filling. In a few weeks I face a root canal treatment in excess of £1000 (incl. crown). My question is: do I really need a root canal? The tooth is calm, and if a precision crown is fitted, would it not seal the tooth effectively to avoid bacteria infecting the pulp? I just want to avoid killing a tooth just because of some decay … Some 20 years ago I had a similar case (I believe) and didn’t opt for the root canal; that tooth is still going strong. What are my options? Does it make sense to ask my dentist to only fit a crown without the underlying root canal treatment? Or am I asking for trouble?

A.
If there is decay under the to… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had pain in my tooth but now im worried that the tooth was left open by dentist

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Q.
Good day Sirs, On Wednesday evening I felt a mild toothache. In the morning on the next day my right chick started swelling a bit. I made an appointment to see a dentist on Friday. The doctor treated the tooth canals, said that there’s nothing bad about the tooth, no pus or any purulent substance just a slight inflammation. She left the tooth open and prescribed me to wash it with salt, soda and iodine water thoroughly throughout the day. The next appointment is on Monday. The pain is gone, but the chick is not getting smaller nor swelling any longer. I’m worried that the tooth was left open, could you please tell me if it’s ok? Thanks.

I would prefer not to leave te… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
