Hi. Ive has a chronic pain on the RHS of my mouth which feels like a throbbing in the teeth, jaw and gums, sometimes very intense. Been going on over 10 years. I have 4 crowns, 2 on RHS and 2 on LHS. I recently found out via xray that I have a leaking crown on RHS. Could this be the cause of my pain? And would replacing the crown cure my pain? My dentist is not sure.

How long does it take to remove 4 wisdom teeth? Do you need assistance to get home? What amount of pain will there be and what foods can you eat the first three days?

Further to my earlier question about not rinsing mouth out after brushing teeth: Is it worth continuing with this to help protect those parts of my teeth that are becoming increasingly exposed by receding gums?

NOT a question - I had just asked the question about not rinsing after brushing? And you replied very promptly thanks. Just wondered if you realised that it was my tooth that you treated this lunchtime!!

When I lost my crown, 4 years ago in Scotland, my dentist advised me to NOT rinse out my mouth after brushing my teeth. He said this would help prolong the ‘health’ of the exposed tooth. Is there any truth in this?

I have veneers on my 2 upper front teeth. They are almost 15 years old and need replacement. The things is my dentist is suggestion a crown (without root canal) since my teeth (not the veneer, but the back of my teeth) are "cracked". He says that a crown is better in that case since it will allow further breakage of my teeth. What is your opinion?

can a dental implant be done on an anterior tooth?

I have just been to my NHS detist for a check up and to have a front crown refitted which recently fell out. My dentist told me she could not clean the root of the tooth properly as it seems like there is something in the root which she cannot remove and has said I need a referral to a specialist. She gave me a leaflet and explained the specialist cost will be @ £700 plus I'll need to go back to her to have a new crown made which will cost an additional £196 (the NHS cost). I asked for details of any other options for this tooth and were told there weren't any? Should the cost of the specialist root filling be covered by the NHS? Are there any other options for this tooth i.e. a plate or a bridge? It is a front tooth but almost £1,000 seems excessive and I'm surprised the referral cannot be made to an NHS specialist? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have a very close bite. I've just had a filling on the right side of my mouth and the dentist told me the old one had probably crumbled because it was too high. However, last time I had a new crown (on the left side of my mouth) the dentist said that had probably cracked because ThAT was too high. I asked a dentist on another forum what I could do and he said he'd recommend whole mouth reconstruction with crowns all round. This, to me, sounds totally over the top. All you need is one crown to crack and the whole process begins again. Surely, a better answer would be for dentists to use blue paper to check the bite on the OPPOSITE side of the mouth to which they're working as well as the side on which they are working whenever they do fillings or crowns? That way, they wouldn't be getting one tooth right at the expense of another.

About 2 months ago, i visted my dentist for my normal 6 months check up and i had red swollen gums. I told my dentist my concern and he prescribed Corsodyl mouthwash. After 1 month of rinsing and proper oral hygiene, my gums returned to a pink colour and no bleeding whilst brushing. I am 23 and my wisdom teeth have started to show. I have 1 so far. I have realized, however, that my bite has changed. Could my gum disease not have been treated and caused this or could wisdom teeth change the bite also.
