My wife has just returned from a visit to her dentists

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
My wife has just returned from a visit to her dentists. She went there with a painful tooth. She has been charged £805 for a glass ion filling, PJC and RCT posterior, firstly is this a reasonable price for the treatment? Secondly,she was given no advice as to what options she had for treatment and not told what costs to expect, until after the initial work was done. Are there any guidelines,laid down by professional bodies, which dentists are supposed to follow in cases like this, and where is the best place to complain to about unprofessional conduct and/or breach of guidelines?

I replaced a silver filling and now my tooth is sensitive

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008
Q.
I had a silver filling on a back tooth replaced with a white composite filling 3 months ago. I have had a lot of sensitivity in that tooth ever since. Sensitive to hot cold and sometimes bite. It doesn’t occur without stimulus and isn’t prolonged. However, it is enough that it bothers me and I dont want to feel it. I use sensodyne which does help, however my other teeth are not particularly sensitive. I have been back to my dentist twice, she has x-rayed it and says sensitivity is normal and not to worry. She also put another ‘layer’ of something on it. I have read a great deal about this subject and dont know what to do next?! change dentist, replace it with a silver filling or onlay? This filling has caused a lot of discomfort and never felt right from the start. Would appreciate your opinion. Thanks Q
