The problem with pulling your own upper posterior teeth out is that you have no idea where your tooth ends and your sinus cavity begins, some roots actually even grow into the cavity! Best get to a...

The chances are that if this yellow spot is only on that one tooth and the rest of her teeh are OK, that it may not be a stain at all and the beginnings of tooth decay. Either way as Tickle suggested...

Quite some time has passed it seems since you had your crown done. It is likely due to untreated tooth decay.

When the stitches are tied off, it is then cut. It could be that the ends that were left, are too long and irritating when your tongue moves against it.

You could call your dentist and explain the...

Don't get me wrong, I won't ever say it's not possible that the anaesthesia is NOT the cause.

It is far more common for jaws to lock or become very painful/stiff if the injection is given in the...

The use of Novocain or any other local anaesthetic in the nerves near the jaw hinge are highly unlikely to cause it to lock. Have you been treated previously with Novocain? Were there any...

I would see do as Wondergirl suggested that you should seek an orthodontist in your new area.
Any dentist can remove braces, but they won't have the knowledge of what stage your previous treatment...

This is a 2 minute job for a dentist, If it bothers you too much just nip down to the dentists and get them to polish it for you :)

You could have dislodged your crown exposing some of the dentine in your teeth which can cause it to be extremely sensitive/painful. Take a trip to your local dentist to check it out, If it is only...

You can always try posing in front of the mirror or taking some pictures of yourself from different angles, teeth showing and not and see how you feel about it then. I have a naturally gummy smile...

I must ask... this is the third post (that I have seen) asking about somewhat different things, are these questions about completely different teeth?

The canals contain the nerves and blood vessels, which lead to the pulp chamber. Any trauma or infection of the nerve will result in the need for a root canal. In short, just as JudyKayTee said....

Fillings are usually in 2 states, they are either in, or they are out.. If they are in (even though chipped) it should hold there unless something causes it to separate completely. Just push him some...

It sounds likely that the blood that was supposed to clot in the space that your tooth used to be was in some way removed, perhaps spat out, swallowed, rinsed out etc etc.. This will have prevented...

If the root is not removed you are only asking for trouble, bacteria has direct access to your nerves and blood vessels, these will quickly become infected and you will end up getting the root...

The only problem with "just getting it pulled" is that there will be a hole where once a tooth was and being #29 it could possibly be in plain view when you smile. But of course this is a purely...

Sorry to hear about what happened, This is something that no-one other than your own doctor would be able to answer with certainty. I have seen cases where the pain would be permanent, and also the...

Once the braces are removed your lisp should disappear, but how long the braces still have to stay in your mouth is entirely up to your orthodontist. In some adults this part can be forever...

MTA is certainly one of the newer methods albeit more expensive, In our dental reception at least 8 of the 12 use it MTA. The others go for the cheaper option of calcium hydroxide. Without access to...

Given the simplicity of the procedure, I would suggest somewhere a little less that a wisdom tooth extraction operation.

Discoloration of the tooth is usually a sign of internal damage caused by remnants of biologically decomposed pulp tissue, but this is not necessarily irreparable damage. Pulp necrosis is a likely...

A tooth would never move far enough within 4-5 weeks for a crown to be ill fitting, it does sound like the impression was taken poorly, or perhaps the technician created a bad fitting crown, but the...

The tooth that is split down the middle will surely have to be removed. Depending on the condition of the tooth/root that is broken below the gumline, it may be fixed, whether it be a crown or a...

I'm a little unsure of the question...

Having a root canal can mean several visits to your dentist. If you mean that after the treatment was started your tooth sustained trauma of some kind, it...

I would not suggest using a toothpaste with no fluoride, Minerals such as fluoride, calcium, and phosphate are redeposited (remineralization) to the enamel layer from the foods and waters consumed....

There are several therapies that can be used to correct a cross bite, the simplist and cheapest (if it only involves 1 tooth are by using a rubber band attatched to a bracket on the inside of the...

There should not be a hole there, after the tooth was extracted there should have been placed some wadding for you to bite on for 30 minutes so that the blood would clot. Dry sockets are a fairly...

It does sound as though it may have become infected, If you have swelling that extends past the local area of the teeth that were removed I would advise going to emergency. In best case scenario, an...

My wife and I have been happily married now for 4 years, I married her knowing she had a son (who himself is an adult and did not live anymore at home), I had a good relationship with my son-in-law...
