Is my tooth infected or is it decaying?

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi I had the last molar on my right side extracted just over 2 weeks ago and the extraction site is healing fine. Up until a few days ago I was finding it hard to brush the molar next to it but now I can without pain.. I was worried about decay at the back of this tooth so I used a mirror to check it and noticed it was slightly stained, upon feeling it with my finger I felt a sharp pain when my nail touched a certain part of the tooth. Could it be infected or decaying or is this normal due to the extraction?? I also have a small silver filling in the tooth so could this be a factor in causing the pain?? Please help as I am extremely freaked out and worried!,

Does my daughter need different antibiotics or is it necessary to remove the tooth?

Friday, May 28th, 2010
Q.
My 6 year old has had a course of antibiotics for dental abscess. It has improved but not resolved. Does she need different antibiotics or is it necessary to remove the tooth? Also she has decay in another tooth and the filling has fallen out. Could this tooth be treated with a crown. I have been advised to leave it as it is as it is not painful but is there a risk of further abscesses developing if we just wait and see? Thank you for your advice.,

I have bad dental decay, what should I do?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am looking for some answers. I am only in my early thirties and my mouth is full of dental decay. I am not even sure where I should start to get this corrected. The teeth that are decaying probably cant be saved, so I figure I will need dental implants. Can you suggest where I should start, I know it will be very expensive and I will probably only be able to do one tooth at a time. Thank you.,

Is treatment necessary if there is no pain?

Monday, January 18th, 2010
Q.
hi, I slightly chipped a lower back tooth around a year ago. this tooth has a filling in it. a previous dentist said if it is not affecting me it can be left as my tooth would have to be drilled to replace the filling and smooth out the chip; which it is not affecting me. I recently went back to see another dentist and he said that i need the filling sorted to cover the chip as infections can go into the part that is showing the filling which can cause problems. I have no issues with the tooth and I do not want my tooth to be drilled further to make a larger filling to fit round the chip. does it really need doing if I am not in any pain? thatnks,
