I Replaced My Amalgam Filling With A White Filling As It Had Decay. My Molar Tooth Is Now Throbbing. Should I Go Back To My Dentist?

Thursday, October 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. Today I got an amalgam filling replaced with a white filling. The tooth was not sore in any way but the dentist advised that there was decay and that I would need the filling removed. The molar tooth is now throbbing. Is this normal? Also when I eat, the food seems to be lodging between the filled tooth and the other molar, this did not happen before the procedure. Should I go back to the the dentist? I wish I hadn’t got the amalgam filling removed as it did not cause me any pain. Now I feel like I’ll probably need a root canal. Thank you.

I Have A Missing Central Incisor. What Would Be The Best Type Of Bridge For This Situation?

Tuesday, May 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew, I need your advice. I have had a missing central incisor for around a year and I am currently wearing a denture at the moment. What is the best material for a bridge in this situation? Strength wise and aesthetically? I have been advised to try a Zirconia bridge. Could you tell me the material this is made from and how long is it likely to last and is it the best? My teeth and gums are healthy otherwise. Would bleaching affect already existing tooth coloured fillings or damage them? Thank you for your time.

I’ve Just Had A Fall And Shattered My Front Teeth. Could I Get Them Both Crowned So They Look Nice?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2014
Q.

Dear Andrew. I have just fallen on my face and shattered part of one of my upper front teeth. I went straight to the dentist who put a temporary cap on it and I need to go back in a few days when its settled down to see if she can save it. But my two front teeth look ugly and both seem to be sticking out a bit. Could I get them both crowned so they look nice? She thinks a white filling will do the trick but what’s best cosmetically. I would really appreciate your opinion on this. Many thanks.

What Options Are Available To Fill The Gaps In My Teeth And Will It Require Some Kind Of Surgery?

Monday, March 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I have gaps between my front teeth and I want to know how long it will take to fill them? I’d also like to know how much it will cost me and if there any surgery is required or not? I wouldn’t like to have surgery that’s why I’m asking. I would also like to know if any surgery needed would be painful or not as I’m quite nervous. I hope you can help me out with this problem. Thank you for your time.

I Have A Small Hole In The Gap Between My Teeth. My Dentist Missed It And It’s Starting To Bother Me. Should I Have Told Him?

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I have a small hole located next to my front teeth, in the small gap between the two. It is very minute and when I went for a check up the dentist didn’t notice it at all so I didn’t bring it up, should I have mentioned that this bothers me? I feel I may need a small filling but how large does the hole have to be for this to happen?  Obviously I’d need a white filling with it being at the front of my mouth, any advice would be great. Thank you.

My Maryland Bride Has Fallen Out For The Second Time In Six Months. Surely It Should Last Longer Than This?

Monday, January 20th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I have had a Maryland bridge for 6 months on my front tooth to replace the one at the side of it. It has now fallen out twice so I have put my partial denture back in. This morning the tooth next to it (my front one) broke while I was cleaning my teeth. What am I best off doing as the front one has had a white filling in for a while. Surely a bridge should last longer than this? I can not afford lots of money at the moment as I only work part time. I look forward to your reply. Many thanks.

Is There Any Chance My Dentist Could Of Left Behind Some Silver Filling In My Tooth?

Thursday, January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi, I had a silver amalgam filling removed today as it made my tooth look totally grey and had it replaced with a white filling. However, there is a silver band around the top quarter of the tooth (although the rest of the tooth looks okay). Does this mean that the dentist may have left some if the old silver filling in and this is now showing through? The old filling was pretty deep so maybe the white filling isn’t deep enough? How can this be rectified? The dentist said it’s just my tooth but it looks like some silver has been left in. Any advice please?

I Am 5 Months Pregnant. Would I Get A White Filling For Free Through The NHS?

Thursday, December 5th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’m currently nearly 5 months pregnant, I have a maternity exemption form and I just wanted to know something, a couple of months after I had my son I was brushing my teeth and the inside corner up to the halfway mark chipped off one of my top front teeth, I never got it looked at because I was always ashamed of it never smiling in front of people and never laughing and so from then a month or two after that it broke up to the top and was more ashamed to let anybody see it. It’s been like this now for around 2 years, would I have to pay for this as it would need a white filling, thanks in advance.

Hello Dr Marcus, I’d Like A Durable Way Of Mending My Chipped Tooth.

Tuesday, November 5th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Marcus,
I have a front tooth (second left) which is chipped (approx 30% of tooth), I have had a composite filling done in the past but it keeps falling out. I would prefer a more reliable and durable fix, but I do not want to have a crown just yet. Is a porcelain filling a possible option. I’d also like to know the cost as well please? Also I’m thinking about teeth whitening. Thank you, really look forward to hearing your advice.

Will my root treated tooth discolour and how can I prevent this?

Thursday, November 29th, 2012
Q.

Hi Andrew,

I had a white filing in a tooth many years ago, i am not sure what the official tooth is called but it is my first big tooth in my upper right arch. My dentist has told me that it has leaked and now i need root treatment (I am sure they talked about removing the root). I am okey with this, well as ok as anyone is about dental treatment. My issue is from a cosmetic perspective. Is there a cosmetic procedure that will keep my tooth white and looking the same as i have heard that a tooth can discolor after root treatment. is there anything else that i should be thinking about or asking about to keep my tooth as healthy and looking as well as can be?

Thanks
