I am getting a dull ache from the gum area around my implant but there is no inflammation. Should I see my dentist?

September 17th, 2011
Q.
Hi. I had an upper lateral incisor replaced by an immediate implant a year ago, and up until now have had absolutely no problems with it. However, I have recently noticed that the area above the implant is sore – by this, I mean when I apply makeup, or facial cream, I notice slight discomfort over the area, like it is bruised. I then noticed that if I there was any slight pressure on the gum above the implant, it would bleed down around the tooth. I have no other areas of gum bleeding and am very careful with my gum care (flossing, interdental brushes etc.) I also use a water pik, and have noticed it is very sore when it washes around the implant. However, the gum does not look inflamed, and the implant is still rock solid. I am now aware of a dull ache occasionally. Do I need to go back to see my implant dentist? Thank you.,
A.
Yes, go back there could be a … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would I be able to get veneers rather than crowns for my mostly discoloured teeth. Could I qualify for braces?

September 15th, 2011
Q.
I am a lone parent on income support. I dont pay for treatment. my front 6 top teeth need treatment and my dentist said i could get crowns. Is there another alternative i could opt for than crowns as these wont improve my self confidence etc. Do you know if I would be entitled to veneers rather than crowns as my 6 top teeth arent worth being there now they r mostly fillings and discoloured. also i have over lappin bottom front teeth, I\’m 32 if i had some back teeth removed do you think I would qualify for a brace of some kind to make them straight which should jave been dealt with whrn i was a child. i get a great build up of plac therefore need lots of scales to remove it but it returns within weeks. i do brush and rinse also floss.,

It sounds like crowns will be … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I am still experiencing pain after tooth extractions and the placing of two implant holders. Is there something wrong?

September 15th, 2011
Q.
I am still experiencing continued pain after my first visit to a recognised Dr Dentist after some two weeks. He extracted 4 front teeth, put in two implant holders and assures me there is no infection.He was very rough with me, he did some for me before which were no problem. Haven\’t had more than 3 hours sleep per night due to the pain . Is this acceptable? I have been taking all sorts of antibiotics and pain killers. I just feel that something is wrong but he assures that is not the case. I have to give it time. Do I need a second opinion?,
