Hi. Im having this problem that my tooth near the jaw being cement. But the cement worn out. And leave a hole in my tooth now. The whole tooth now turns out to look like an inverted ‘C’.

I went to the dentist recently and my wisdom teeth are coming through, also I have another tooth that is falling out, what should I do
Monday, January 31st, 2011Q.
Hello,
I’m 18 and went to the dentist a few days ago, they told me that my wisdom teeth are coming through ( well one has come through slightly). Is there any thing i can do about them? Also my biggest problem is that i had an x-ray scan on one of my front teeth because it has been hurting slighlty and has been wabbling abit, they said that the tooth/root is shorter than the rest of my teeth and they said it looks like it has reduced in size and will keep getting smaller till it falls out! I don’t know what to do, i am really affraid of that tooth to the point i can barley sleep at night. I always brush my teeth everyday and floss etc and have good oral hygine.
Can you please give me some advice of what i could do? Do you think my tooth could come out? If so what can i do to replace it? Can i get my wisdom teeth romoved? Please help!
Much appreciated.
How long do I need to wait until I can have an implant, after having a tooth extracted?
Monday, January 17th, 2011Q.
I have to have one of my front teeth extracted, I’ll have to wear a denture for three months whilst the gum heals and then I’m opting for an implant. I was just wondering if after the three months is over the implant can be put straight in and also what the temporary replacement is during the 6 month period?
I have a gaping hole between my two front teeth from severe gum disease; can i have a row of dentures made on top?
Thursday, January 6th, 2011Q.
Hi Dr,
I’m wondering if you can help me, I have suffered from gum disease in the past and have had it treated but its left me with a terrible problem, I have a big gaping hole in my gum where the gum has wore away completely, at the front of my mouth between my right front and 2nd right teeth. Its really noticeable and some rather uncouth people have commented on it in the past which makes me more paranoid about it. I’m wondering that because the gum has wore away would it be possible to like have my whole front row of teeth removed and have a row of dentures made? or would there be any other way around this problem, the rest of my teeth are fine and don’t need work its just the two that I mentioned.
Look forward to hearing from you soon
What does having a tooth removed under sedation involve?
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010Q.
Hello, I have a tooth, lower right hand side at the back, which needed root canal treatment or extraction. I opted for root canal but after several attempts had to abandon this idea as for some reason the tooth or area around it just wouldn’t numb. Instead the dentist tried to dress and fill the tooth. Now a few months later i am in a lot of pain and the tooth needs to be removed. My dentist has told me the tooth needs quartering before removal. bearing in mind the nerve pain i felt during the attempted RC and filling I have been advised to have the tooth removed under sedation. If you have the time could you please explain this procedure to me and tell me what I’m likely to experience.

I have an infected tooth which I feel needs to be removed, what are my options after extraction?
Saturday, December 4th, 2010Q.
I have an infected root under a post and crown. The second set of antibiotics have helped but I am
Sure the infection remains as still jaw pain and slight swelling the course finishes in 4 days time. I understand a bridge or implant is the last options after extraction? I am
Unsure which way to go? I have a crown
Next to infected tooth and could this be used to do
Bridge? Or do I compromise tooth behind? With implants can I get any help as a student? I an really confused? Don’t want to leave a gap due to
Being unsightly! Are these my only options apart from a
Denture? Thanks
When my tooth was removed the roots had been left behind, how will this impact on me in the future?
Saturday, December 4th, 2010Q.
I had a tooth removed but it broke while in the removal process. The roots have been left behind as the dentist could not get them out. Parts of the tooth are still sitting in my gum. How is this going to impact on me in the future. Risks? Possible bad repercussions?
