My Mum Has Got Pain In Her Gums. Is There Any Chance Food Could Be Trapped Under Her Implants?

November 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey, my mum got implants a few years ago but she is getting pain on the top front teeth (first 6). Her gum line is red and there is a high temperature.What could have resulted in this? Is it dangerous? Does she need to go back to the dentist or does she have to use cream to relieve the pain. As I mentioned she had the implants done probably around 2 years ago. Is it possible for the teeth to have moved out of place, because she is worried whether they have moved and food has gone to the gums and she is scared this might result to an infection. She has had this for about a month. Thank you for taking your time to read my message, I hope you have time to respond. Thank you.

Would I able to replace what I consider dead teeth for dental implants?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
Hi, i have a couple of teeth on the top row of teeth that are technically dead as they are grey and don’t feel very secure. I haven’t been to the dentist in many years so i fear that the damaged teeth may have affected the gums and possibly the jaw. I would really like to get implants to replace the dead teeth but if what i fear is true would this be an option for me as the gum and jaw might not be able to provide a stable base. many thanks for your time,

My implants keep failing. What does this mean and what can be done?

January 8th, 2012
Q.
I got dental implants on the top of my mouth 2.5 years ago. Thats how long I have been going through this. I have had 1 fail after another. Right now I think I have 2 failing.

And my dentist says he doesn’t understand either, what does that mean?,

My healthy white tooth was filed down so excessively that veneers will not work and I am on constant pain. Can you help me find a solution?

August 13th, 2011
Q.
I have had a very healthy white tooth filed down so excessively that a veneer will not stay on the remaining small stub of a tooth. I am in constant pain and without a tooth. I am a young female and i have ended up losing my job through the problems it has caused. Originally the dentist said he would only need to take of a millermetre or so to get the veneer to bond, after countless times of it falling out i have but a very painful stub and i cant leave my home. The gum is badly infected and i need a long term solution as the tooth isnt big enough to keep a crown or veneer on it. Plus my bite is like scissors and my bottom teeth hit the top teeth. My teeth were never suitable for a veneer in the first place aparently. I havent biten anything in years and i can sleep at night as my jaw has nowhere to rest in a comfortable position due to my bite not touching at the back. Seeds nuts and sugar are a nightmare as this is when i lose the veneer. Please help me find a solution to this terrible problem this dentist has caused to my life. I am depressed. Thank you,
A.
