Will tooth whitening brighten the dead tooth and what are my options for my short front teeth

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I am currently in the process of bleaching my teeth with nite white acp, which I got from the dentist. When examining my teeth and after doing an xray, he told me that the nerve end has died in one of my front teeth – and it was just slightly more yellow. About 6 years ago I hit my two front teeth. The other tooth was chipped and my then dentist basically filed the chip out, so this tooth is slighty shorter with a slant. I am very conscious about this. The bleaching is working well, but the dead tooth is a brighter colour than the rest, but when lookin at it closer it still seems more yellow than the others, I am afriad to double up on bleaching of this incase it makes it any brighter. What are my options with the two front teeth. 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 tried whitening my teeth and now the teeth are extremely sensitive what do you advise

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Patel, I needed my crown replacing as the old one had cracked & I decided to whiten my teeth first. My dentist provided the tooth whitener & trays. My teeth were so extremely sensitive after a couple of tries it was unbearable. My dentist said she had never experienced a patient with such sensitivity, she advised me to only use it once or twice a week, also to put sensodyne toothpaste into the trays & leave it in overnights. Eventually I had to give it up after using 6 ampoules.My teeth seemed to settle down a bit so I had the temorary crown placed & started suffering with extreme sensitivity to all my teeth, from cold only, I put up with it for 2 weeks then had the new crown put in. That was nearly 4 weeks ago & the pain carries on. I have noticed it worsens when I have to use a nasal spray for hayfever ( beconase ) or a decongestant. In the last few days apart from all the zinging in my teeth, also feeling like I am biting on tin foil, there is a bit of a dull ache in the crowned tooth. I keep hoping this will all settle down on it’s own, but am beginning to wonder if I should go back to my dentist, what do you advise ? Thank you
