What is the reason for pain in the teeth?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Q.
I have toothache in my left front tooth. They were sensitive and I am using the sensodyne pro-namel toothpaste which was gradually making the problem better over time. However a few days ago toothache started in my left front tooth and the sensitivty has almost completely gone away in just the last 2 days since the toothache started. The tooth hurts when i put any small pressure onto it and has grown from mild pain from time to time to constant mild pain. What is wrong and what should I do?

How to correctly fit the valplast denture in ease?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Q.
Re. a Valplast denture. It was fitted a week ago,but very difficult even in the surgery.Ihave tried and tried over the last week to insert the denture and cannot do it. I see the dentist again in 2 days, for bite etc. I suppose. He will think I’m just a wimp but I feel that there is something wrong when after 40 mins. of struggle I can’t insert the Valplast. Every day for 5 days I’ve tried- 20 to 45 mins a time. I already have a denture which took a bit of trying to get used to, so I didn’t expect this to be instant.

A.
Valplast are flexible dentures… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Advice on redoing composite resin veneer

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009
Q.
Recently, I went into the dentist to get my two front teeth rebonded- composite resin veneer. The first time when I got home I noticed that my front teeth were two shades darker than my real teeth, so I called back and asked them to redo them. The second time, my teeth came out too white(but I don’t mind that much). However, he also made my teeth extremely thick and they seem bulky in the middle. I also noticed when I got home that one of the sides of my two front teeth is yellow. Today, I called another dentist to see if he could slim them down a bit. He refused to try and fix them and literally laughed at my whole story, which I don’t think is funny. He did agree with the middle of my teeth being rather bulky.So after calling two more other dentists who refused to fix his work, I called his office back and I have an appointment for Friday to try and shave down my teeth a little. I’m torn between putting up with the dentist again,and not being happy with my two front teeth that I paid $600 for. Do other people go back three times to get there teeth fixed, and if this were your case how would you react?

A.
If I were you I would go back … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
