Best option for tooth grinding problem

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a tooth grinding problem which has cracked a bottom tooth. My dentist has repaired this twice with a small filling but it keeps coming off. I went to my practice last week (met a new dentist) who suggested having a veneer which was ‘really tough’ and would not come off. I was quoted £700. However, my previous dentist said a veneer would not hold and he wouldn’t sell me one, he suggested a night guard £400, but I am not convinced I ‘grind’ at night I think it is when I chew food. My dentist raised the height of a rear filling to stop me grinding and now I am having trouble chewing food. I therefore have three expensive options (veneer, night guard or constant fillings) and have no idea what to opt for. Can anyone help? Regards

Ive a root canal done on my molar and the dentist prefers temporary crowns advice?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have had a root canal done to my second molar. My dentist has suggested that I best have a temporary crown fitted, as my tooth is very vulnerable. The reason for him to say this is because:- A) last week I had my tooth quarterly spilt, which he managed to extract and fill it up. B) this is what i dont understand, he says that the tooth above my second molar is sharp ( along those lines) and is not doing any favours to my second molar. C) if i decide to remove my tooth, there is a possiblity that my molar will eventually get loose and i might loose it. I havent had my wisdom tooth come out as yet. What’s a temporary filling? I personally find all this a hassle now, It’s so frustrating, can’t I just remove it!

Having the tooth out is always… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

There was a hole beginning in one of my lower teeth should ive fillings?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
Two years ago my dentist told me there was a hole beginning to form in one of my lower teeth (approx 4th from the back. I asked him what could be done, and he said “Nothing – we wait until it gives trouble and take it out.” This was my first visit to this dentist (my previous dentist having died)and I was uneasy about the answer. On my last vist, I asked whether it could be filled, but he said no, and gave a technical explanantion which made no sense to me, as a layman. Can I seek a second opinion with a dentist in another practice? Many thanks

A.
Yes it would be a good to get … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
