You HAVE to go into your DDS and just tell him/her what you just said. Since you said it only hurts when you bite or eat... thats a sign that the crown is just too high. Your DDS can adjust the crown...

You need to go back to your DDS. It could be as simple as just the crown is too high. Just an adjustment to the crown, and the pain will be gone. If that does not take care of it, then you need to...

Most likely the Dr. that does the RC will drill through the crown. Then use a filling material to close the hole that was made. Its not uncommon at all.

Hopp,
You said you had braces at 15, how old are you now? You also said your retainer kept breaking, did you keep bringing it in for repairs? Its important that the retainer is always worn,...

I am not sure I fully understand. Your dentist pulled a tooth, then put that same tooth back in? Please give me more detailed info. Also, a root canal does not cause cancer.

HELLO
First... I am sorry for the bad experence you had. And that your children could be a little traumatised. Also sounds like their office is not very 'child friendly'. Again, very sorry for your...

You need to go to a DDS and have your work check out. It could be a few things. Maybe the crown or one of the fillings are too high. (this is a very easy fix) On the other end of the extreme, you...

HELLO
The pain should subside, in most cases it does. Now if it ends up that you still need a RC the DDS can do that through your crown. Don't get a RC at this time if you don't need one. (that...

HELLO
First... good luck on getting your new dentures.
When you get your new dentures, you must take them out at night (if you get the dentures the day of the extracions, then you leave them in...

HELLO
I would go for a 2nd opinion, and if they say the same thing, I would definitely do the crowns on the baby teeth. Your child is only 4.5 yrs old, he will have these teeth for some years yet....

jehope, I am not sure I totally understand. Let me ask you a few questions. First, you said you have a denture. Are you saying you have a full denture, or a partial denture? If you have a full...

Claire,
I agree with some of what joypulv has said. First, please stop smoking. (I know... easier said then done!) Second, try a sonicare toothbrush. It really helps with your gums. And third, you...

You can have a material added to the bottom ( or top, depending if it is upper or lower tooth) of that tooth to give it length. The material is a white or tooth colored. A good DDS can add this and...

An extra baby tooth is not cause any more problems then any other baby tooth. When the perm. Tooth starts to come in, it will push the baby teeth out, along with the extra baby tooth. I would keep...

Did your DDS take any x rays to see if there were any problems? Like an abcess? I would try to go back and see if the crowns need to be adjusted again. You might be hitting it first (the crown might...

I am not sure why he would say "test them out" unless he was thinking they might be a little high. But he could have really checked that out before you left. But that is the only thing I can think...

I would not know how. You need to get to a dentist.

It depends on what kind of crown you get. Call your DDS and ask questions about what kind of crowns they do, and the cost of each crown. Good luck.

Did you ask your DDS if he stands behind his crowns? If not, you need to before you have this appt. From what I understand from your story, the crown is around a year old. It really should be some...

Since you have no stitches, you take on the risk of getting food lodged in there. A cold malt is about your best bet for now but yogurt is Ok too. Tomorrow, still something soft, scrambled eggs or...

So I think what you are trying to say is that your DDS prep the one tooth in '09 and the other in '10, then, the DDS placed both the perment crowns in '10. A good DDS and his staff would know that a...

I miss read the question... thanks for the correction.

I think the 'tooth filler' should only be used as an emergery situation. (EX: on vacation in another country and lost a filling) If you lost a filling there most likely decay there. You HAVE to get...

Since the teeth are have decay, you might be sent to an oral surgeon. The cost can really vary, but you can call for an estimate. Since this will be your first set of dentures, your dentist might...

You asked a few questions, so lets start with the 1st one. Yes, the teeth can be filled, the DDS will use a tooth colored material to fill the teeth. But if the decay is into the nerve, then you...

Some times this is done when the decay is very close to the nerve. I agree with the first person, get a 2nd opinion.

PLEASE help me with this movie title. I think it might have been in the last 1960's. I remember it taking place in a larger home. But the home was taken over by 'mice' like people. They tried to kill...
