Is it necessary to wear temporary tooth as it is cracked and wobbly?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.
I I had a tooth removed yesterday and have had a temporary bridge put in until I go back to the dentist in May, with the view to having an implant. However, the bridge has chipped already and feels a bit wobbly. If it comes out totally, is it ok to have a gap until May or should I go back and get another temporary bridge put in? I remember when I had my last implant that the temporary bridges kept on coming out, is there anything I can do to try and make them stay in?,
A.
It depends where the gap is ob… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Pain is worse after artificial bone graft. Is implant problem one that will resolve itself?

December 22nd, 2011
Q.
I had a dental implant following root canal treatment on my front tooth which went wrong. The area under my nose remained sore even afer a few years of having the implant. I kept returning to the implant centre and was told everything was okay, however a few months ago I again returned and was informed that I would need an artificial bone graft. This was carried out 3 months ago. I have more pain than before now and the gum line has receeded showing some of the metal of the implant. It is uncomfortable and sore. My dentist said to see her again in 6 weeks and she would consider sending me to the hospital (which I requested). I’m concerned about returning to the implant centre as I have been going for around 2.5 years and the problem has just worsened. I have three questions really. If there is damage to the area can it be repaired? – I can’t sleep at night sometimes because I am worried that it will deteriorate so badly that I lose all my top teeth and the bone too. The second question is who can I turn to for advice as soon as possible to stop any further problems? My last question is – could it be just normal to be experiencing such discomfort – should I just wait longer for it to heal. Many thanks for your time ,
A.
The area should not spread esp… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Root canal has failed and dentist says tooth extraction is only option. Give your opinion?

December 22nd, 2011
Q.
Due to stress I had a antibiotics to remove an abcess, with temporary filling then root canal after. My tooth felt fine during the months with the temporary filling but after the root canal felt wobbly and intermittently painful. After a year and a half the dentist has told that the next time I say the tooth is painful he will remove it. Obviously I went through the root canal in order to keep the tooth. It is very painful now, I would like a second opinion as I feel my dentist is disinterested and just wants to do what is easiest for him. I am on very low income.,
A.
If the root canal treatment ha… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
