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!,

Monday, June 7th, 2010
Q.
hi my 6 year old son had two of his teeth removed because the fillings were falling out and he had peri apical infection. the teeth that had been removed were URD and URE. I was told that those were milk teeth. Now I am concerned there was mistake and they remowed one of his adult teeth .before he had 22 teeth. There was 5 on each side exept for upper right side where there was 7 teeth,. Now he has 4 teeth a gap after 2 removed and one last one. Does it mean that he had adult tooth removed or is it possible to have extra tooth? he did not have any x-ray to check and i was told not to worry, but i cant stop thinking that there was a mista,

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.,

My dentist told my daughter her painful tooth was fine, she had to have it removed since! Any advice please?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
My 10 yr old daughter has made two visits to our NHS dentist in the past 4-5months as she was complaining of toothache in a lower lhs tooth. The dentist made an examination on both occasions and said the tooth was fine and only sensitive. She has since had to visit an emergency dentist due to pain, and he said the tooth is so badly decayed it is past saving and requires extraction! He also said it had been this way for some time. Can you please offer any advice? I am also upset as she will be left with a gap as this is an adult tooth. Are there any options in this case please? Thanking You,
