Ive a decay under the mid left lower tooth is there any other option other than extraction

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have decay deep under the mid left lower tooth caused by biting into food and it remaining trapped. An xray was taken showing the shadow. My dentist has stated that extraction is the only answer as it would be impossible to seal as it’s below the gum line and moisture would disolve any works. She suggests a denture. Implants are out of the question due to the expense. She has done excellent root canal work on the other side of my mouth so this work does not faze her. She said this would not be an option in this case. Can you suggest something? I am loath to remove a healthy tooth that I tend to bite on. I do not have any lower back teeth on that side so its important that I try to keep it. I am on anti biotics in the meantime. Thank you. Regards

My upper teeth is getting extracted and im scared to death can u help?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, I am a 57 year old Black-American female with what has been diagnosed as MS. As a child I never went to the dentist and did very little to take care of my teeth besides brushing. Now I need teeth and am contemplating having all my upper teeth extracted and getting a plate and a bridge. My concern is not only that I’m scared to death, but will I be able to tolerate the surgery, recover and that they won’t pull out my brains, memory what strength I do have with the teeth? Can you help? Sincerely,

A.

How long should I wait after the dental root extraction before the implant could be inserted?

Friday, July 24th, 2009
Q.
How long should I wait after the dental root extraction before the implant could be inserted? I am a generally healthy 37 year old and the X-ray of the area was normal. Would a pregnancy be a contraindication for the procedure? Are Straumann implants a good choice? Thank you very much.

Im 20 and having major dental damage due to decay should i go through with 8 extractions?

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi I just went to a local dentist last week. The dental team took x-rays. I have known for awhile my teeth aren’t in good condition due to major decay-I have a fear of the dentist. So what the team told me wasn’t much of a surprise. The dentist recommends I go to an oral surgeon for 8 molar extractions. This isn’t even counting my wisdom teeth that are beginning to break through. I’m only 20 years old and I find all of this to be very tramatizing already. I dread going to a surgeon to have 8 teeth removed at once as this dentist suggested. I’m sure my mouth is full of infection. I feel pain occasionally. I go back to the dentist for a filling for another tooth tomorrow. My question is at my age (20) and having major dental damage due to decay should I go through with 8 extractions? Please let me know.

My daughter teeth was extracted because one of the tooth space is too forward is it correct?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Q.
My daughter (13) is in the process of having her teeth straightened, they were slightly ‘bucked’ but not extremely so. The orthodontist said they were one tooth space too forward, I really didn’t want her to have any teeth out, but the orthodontist insisted it was the only and that he couldn’t treat her if this was not carried out. So much to my extreme upset, she had two teeth from her upper jaw extracted to make space for the teeth to move back. The process is nearly over, and although the teeth are beautifully straight, I have noticed her bottom lip now juts forward, has the process gone too far? She had a great smile before, but now I am worried about the bottom lip. Did I do the right thing? A friend of mine insisted her child’s teeth weren’t extracted, and much against the orthodontist will, he carried out the process without extraction and the child’s teeth are great. He even admitted she (the mother)had made the right decision. Thank you.

Ive a serve phobia of dentist and i have two pretty deep cavities could i have root canal treatment

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr, I have a severe phobia of dentists following a bad experience when I was younger. I have two pretty deep cavities one at each side at the back top teeth, I can stick my tounge quite far into one of them and I have extremely bad breath which I’m guessing is a result of these. I have finally found the courage to go to the dentist and will go soon. I am only 25 years old and cannot bear the thought of extraction and would quite happily have root canal and crowns. I’m wondering if there are any instances where root canal cannot be used and extraction is the only option? I really don’t want to have missing teeth at 25, even if it is the back teeth! My confidence is so low, I’m so aware of my breath it’s ruining my life and as i have just graduated, I feel I cannot be a proffessional the way my teeth and breath are at the moment. Kind regards
