My 4yr old daughter has infected gums and is extraction likely?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have a 4yr old with capped teeth. Her teeth were capped after a heart procedure & a dose of antibiotics, approximately 2 yrs ago. After the antibiotics her top teeth went grey & the enamel appeared to be “ridged” or like it melted away. Anyway the dentist suggested capping, she’s now with a new dentist. My daughter just had a check up & apparently the dentist feels there’s an infection in her gums, caused by one of the caps & wants to extract it. She said my daughter’s mouth is reacting to the material in the caps & this can occasionally happen. I just wanted a 2nd opinion on whether the problem is common & if extracting is the only answer.

Would I need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work?

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have some questions about six month braces and what they can achive, all my upper and lower front teeth have mild crowding except my lower two front teeth that slightly overlap by roughly 2mm, my worry is if i would need to have teeth extracted for the brace to work, basically what i am asking is how much room can be made with this brace ie: does it widen arches to make room, and how much space can be created with reprox or tooth slenderising not sure of the correct term for this, also does reprox affect the health of teeth. Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

My root canal tooth got reinfected what are my options

Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am an nhs patient and do not have to pay dentist fees. I have recently been to the dentist because I suspected a tooth that had root canal treatment had become reinfected. The dentist confirmed what I thought but said that it may need a specialist to do the treatment, this will cost £700-800. The dentist who I am currently with are different to the dentist who did the treatment so should I go back to the original dentist? Also as I am a student it’s going to be hard to pay for the treatment is there any ways around this?

A.
They may say that the tooth ca… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would it be possible to pull the teeth and put in implant denture on the same day

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Q.
I am 55 and only have 5 front teeth on top and 1 back tooth and each side on the bottom. I am not worried about getting the top denture, but I have a tiny bone ridge on the bottom. Except for the 2 teeth to extract, the others have been out for a year. When I go can they pull the 2 teeth and put in the implant denture on the same day. I thought they you may have to have the teeth pulled and let the gum heal before they will do an implant denture. Please tell me if it can be done. Thanks
