My Dentist Had To Remove My White Filling As It Was Causing Too Much Pain, What Are My Options Now?

Friday, August 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I had to get fillings at Christmas. One of them was my left upper molar, which was a white filling but was sensitive and I had almost like a shooting pain. So my dentist took the white filling out and used a putty type clay but although its a tiny hole I hate it what can I get done to fill up the whole thing so it looks like a molar again? Also i have staining in the groves of 2 molars but again my dentist said drilling would be involved and I really do not want any more teeth drilled into as I look after my teeth! I like them.just to be perfect basically but without having to go through any unnecessary pain procedures. Any feedback would be great and thank you ever so much for your time.

Is There Any Way That My Fillings Can Be Replaced Without Harming Any Of The Tooth Structure?

Wednesday, July 31st, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark, I wondered if you could advise me with an issue? In my front two teeth I had root canal treatment and there are two white fillings. The problem is that one of the teeth has a large white filling and I want to change both. However, I don’t want to lose even a little of the structure of the teeth. Is there a technology that has the ability to remove the filling only? or is there a dentist who can do that slowly without removing even a little of the structure. I really care about the structure of the teeth. I already have quite sensitive teeth and I don’t want them turning worse because of this. Thanks for your time.

My New White Fillings Are Causing Sharp Pain In One Of My Teeth, Why Is This?

Monday, July 29th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark, I was just wondering if you could help me? Today I got my silver fillings replaced on the upper top left side of my mouth. The fillings were about 20 years old, and replaced with white fillings.

All the fillings are fine, except one tooth. This tooth is giving me sharp shooting pain, when my tongue brushes over it. If I chew, the pain is so bad that I tear up. It doesn’t matter what I chew, it’s a sharp shooting pain….a banana I had with my lunch made me cry!!

The dentist told me that he put some “insulation” under the new fillings. And my old silver fillings were changing appearance, particularly their colour. He also said they had had cavities under them.Can you tell me why I’m experiencing this pain now?

Is It Really Necessary For Me To Have My Teeth Removed?

Thursday, June 27th, 2013
Q.

I’d like to improve the appearance of my 4 upper front teeth (molars) . One of the side ones has recently been crowned ; its alignment with the other teeth could be improved upon, but one of the centre molars is protruding, therefore it’s quite difficult. The remaining 3 upper front molars are covered in veneers which have to be replaced often due to discolouration of the white fillings. The dentist did suggest that I could crown the remaining 3 front molars. I am unsure whether I want my natural teeth removed despite ongoing discolouration of white fillings/veneers. What are the options ; my teeth are quite grey in colour : A3 I think was the colour of the recent crown.

I Want To Close The Gaps In My Teeth, What’s The Cheapest Way For Me To Do This?

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013
Q.

I can email you a clear picture of my teeth. I want to close my gaps and also change my fillings to white.
Please can i email you a picture for a quote? I have about 10 fillings and I have 4 gaps at the front. I am 29 years old. My dentist told me when I was 9 that the gap would close naturally, when I asked for a brace, but it never closed. I can’t afford hundreds of pounds of treatment so I am looking for the easiest and cheapest option available to me.

How Long Do White Crowns Last And How Easily Are They Broken On Children?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

My son is Two years is there any way that his sliver crown tooth may it be removed and replaced with a white one? If so how long does a white crown last I was told by his dentist it will only last a short period of time like two or three weeks and that he would be able to brake it the same day he got it. Is that true or they just didn’t want to do the work done? I’m not realy a fan of silver crowns .Thank you for you time.

How much would it cost to have my chipped front teeth treated?

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Hussein Shaffie. Not sure if you could help me answer my small question, I’ve chipped my two front teeth quite some time ago now about five years and I was wondering if they can be fixed? They haven’t botherd me until now as I haven’t been to the dentist for a while and I’m getting quite ashamed of them. Have I left it too late for them to be sorted? Or will I have to have them extracted? And please could you tell me a ball park figure I was thinking about £1000 and could you do this for me thanks doctor.

Would a dental veneer cover my yellow tooth?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hi I had a consultation last year over my two front teeth and the one to the left of them, I had knocked my two front teeth years before and chipped both and had them filled with white fillings, which are still on them today, one tooth died and I had root canal but since then it has gone yellow, and my two front teeth over time have pushed back, also the tooth next to them went forwards and twisted over time. My question is would a veneer cover the yellow and could I have a veneer over the white fillings? As I really don’t want to have drastic filling and drilling down of my two front teeth! My second question is what are the risks of the Inman brace? As it moves your teeth quickly can you get fractures or damage to the roots of my teeth?

A.

I have a pain in my tooth after having old metal filling replaced with a new white one.

Monday, September 19th, 2011
Q.

Hi I am running into a dental nightmare with a tooth and feeling i need some answers from someone i would trust that i am doing the right thing!
Not enough space on this box!
3 months pain and over 10 visit to dentist!
Long story short. Had old filling replaced with a white one, next day pain round the gum on eating not on bitting. went back Said food impation as the filling was made less proud for better care of the tooth and now the gum aggrivated. lots of mouth care flossing etc Progressed to filling been re shaped to previous style to stop some of the impaction, still no help to shooting pain when food hit the gum. Pain slowly got worse to traveling along my jaw and waking me up at night. Xray showed nothing. Given anitbiotics. then filling taken out and packed. Pain still in the jaw so he went for the root as could see no other possible cause! only to find 2 roots, left for a week and just had another look for Root number 3 which he cant find but now informs me i have a crack and now need a crown! But cant do a crown until he knows if i need to see a specialist for root number 3 and in the mean time i may crack my tooth and loose the whole thing!!! Is it important to find the last root or for some people is there never one???? Not sure if to pay to see specialist before my tooth splits or sit and wait for a few months as has been suggested!
My gut feeling is i had gum infection as it never has caused any pain in impaction or bitting hard and maybe antibiotics may have stopped it getting into the roots. Any addvice much appreciated!
