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

I had white filling in 5 teeth and now 4 are in pain. does it mean my dentist cant do white fillings

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
I had white fillings in 5 teeth recently (the first ones I have ever had done ie first time I went to a dentist). They were all molars, and were done in 3 seperate sessions. One was broken off, so the filling is close to a nerve and a liner was put in. All the teeth hurt after the fillings, and now, 3 months after the first 2 fillings, and a few weeks after the the last 4 out of the 5 teeth are hurting after cold or hot food/drinks, and also sometimes without any obvious reason. I only had some pain in ONE out of the 5 teeth before, now pain in 4! When I told my dentist he said the fillings will need to be replaced, and if that does not solve it they need a root canal! It just seems mad to possibly end up with a root canal on 3 teeth that never caused me a problem before I went to a dentist. Actually this has put me off ever going again. Does it mean my dentist can’t do white fillings very well, and if so would it be any use to have them redone by the same person? Would I have to pay again? And how long should I wait to see if the pain still settles by itself? Would it be any use to not eat any hot or cold things, ie could that help the teeth to settle, or will it make no difference..? Thanks

I have a large gap inbetween my front teeth what would be my best option to fix it?

Friday, June 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi – I am 39 – and have a large (I consider it to be) gap (about 3mm) inbetween my front teeth. It was smaller, but I wore braces as a child and the gap seemed to get bigger – I do remember having something behind my two front teeth to pull them in, but that didn’t seem to work – I have a piece of skin inbetween them (don’t know the name for it) which I presume is causing the problem.. I am wondering what my best option would be, whether to get the skin removed and wear braces, or to have somesort of cosmetic dentistry to englare the front teeth to close the gap… kindest regards
