| I am with at a dental center now and they seem to want to do a lot of work on my teeth. They want to change all of my silver fillings to white, to change my gold crown to white and to crown one of my other teeth even though there is nothing wrong with it. They say that the filling is too big and that it would be better to crown it. So far I have let them change one of my fillings to white and I have had tooth pain for the last two and a half months. When I went back they said that the filling is close to the root now that it may be better to kill the root. I'm due to go back in 2 weeks for them to sort out my tooth pain but it seems a lot of work to me. Please let me know what you think? Read answer |

| I think I've got the start of a dental abscess (have had them twice before and once lost a crowned tooth due to one); there is increasing pain if I chew on a particular (long since root-filled) tooth. Can you advise if antibiotics would be enough to clear it up, and how much a consultation would cost? Cost determines treatment in my case as I do not have (cannot afford) dental insurance and it might be cheaper to return to the UK. Thanks. Read answer |

| I have recently broken a crown that has been in place for over 10 years. It is only the actual white part of the crown that has broken off on one corner on an bottom molar tooth. It does not cause any pain or other problems, and I think the root canal and base of the crown is still OK. I do expect that in the coming months the remainder might also follow suit and break off. What would be the cost of replacing the white part if this crown, and would it be the best option to leave the tooth or to replace a.s.a.p.? Read answer |

| Hi, I\'m a 16 year old student in England but I come to Moscow during school holidays. While going for a check up to fill out a school medical form, the dentist discovered 9 caries even though at my last check up a year ago, the dentist in Australia didn't mention anything. The Russian dentist suggested I get fillings, and that if I wait even six months, the situation will become much worse and require more serious root treatment. What is the treatment for caries, and is it really necessary to do fillings if there are no cavities yet? And is there any way that I can stop the situation from becoming worse? Thanks, Read answer |

| Twice in my life, incredibly a complete stranger came up behind me a sucker punched me on the right mandible with their right fist, breaking the left mandible. They broke in the same location even between the same teeth both times. The first time I was lucky even though I had no insurance I went to a private hospital and they took me in and I got a great specialist who made sure not to screw on any metal plate. 11 years later when the second incident ocurred, I went to a public hospital. I didn't really worry as I turned out fine the first time. They cut open my gums on the inside of my mouth and screwed in a metal plate causing a lot of nerve damage. The plate was removed two years later and a third unneccessary surgery where they really screwed up by cutting from the outside under the chin left the left side of my face feeling like it was on fire and assymetrical. Do you usually use metal plates or just wire the teeth? Also, I know the nerve damage can not be fixed, but do you know of any kind of procedure that will kill the pain? I have a pain specialist and nothing works. The damage from the incision on the outside leaves my muscles straining from my neck to the bone. Is there a way to cut these muscles to prevent the face from spasming? Read answer |

| I have a question which is sort of random, but relevant to my problem. I just recently had veneer preperation done on the front 6 of my teeth. Currently, I have been fitted with a temporary while the permanent veneers are fabricated at the laboratory. I am not a big fan of taking all kinds of medications and what not, which leads us to my question. I am aware that I need to constantly floss inbetween my temporary veneers, and keep them clean of any obstructions, do to the fact that they can not flex/move such as natural teeth can. Causing them to snap off. So instead of taking an OTC Anti-Inflammatory such as Advil which contains Ibuprofen, could I consume 4-6 tbsp of honey throughout the day. The reason I ask that is because I have read of the anti-bacterial effects honey has. IE- If I kill the bacteria, the swelling which I might experience due to consuming food,alcohol etc. will subside. Also I have read, that studies show, that it can "clean teeth and dentures." And possibly act as a barrier/coating which shall in the short term prevent any further intrusions from bacteria. In the end, to make it simple, do you feel that Honey could reduce swelling, and help aid in the cleansing of teeth, dentures, and veneers? I appreciate your help and time. Read answer |

| I may be moving to Moscow soon to run a company there for my employer. I'm 35 and have a bottom left wisdom tooth problem of a neo-major kind: despite serious mouth-wash and twice/three-times daily, dental regime teeth-brushing is like a bloodsport. Never before, just since my bottom left tooth started playing hard-ball and the tooth emerged: but now my whole mouth bleeds, all over and from everywhere, despite epic amounts of Dentyl PH...so I don't think it can be gingavitus ANYWAY, When I lived in the West Indies (for three years, until six months past) I never went to a dentist - for obvious reasons...obvious if you had lived there. But now I guess I need a dentist. Practically, what differences can I expect from buying treatment in Moscow, in a month's time, or London where I'm hanging out now?? Or is it just wisdom teeth 'movement' and will all go away soon anyway? Read answer |

From: Wisdom Tooth Problem...

Hey Doc,
I'm in my 30's. 12 yrs ago, my rightside wisdom teeth were pulled out, operated on, laughing gas, injections the works (back in NY).
Well finally my leftside bottom tooth has been coming out (for 2 yrs). I've had blood spurting out every now and then.
I just went to see a russian dentist (Moscow) and she stated that it does seem that the tooth will have to be pulled-extracted out, and most likely an operation will be needed. The neighboring tooth is starting to curve out, thus the wisdom tooth is pushing it, but doesn't hurt yet...
Do you handle such operations? If so, with laughing gas? Well, if not, thats fine, how much would such an operation go for, cost?
I'll be back here after the holidays... But let me know now if you handle such operations and the process...
Thank you and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to all... Read answer |

| I have recently had a problem with my tooth. It did not hurt, but food was getting into it, so I went to the dentist hoping to get a filling. The doctor drilled a hole in my tooth and said that I had pulpitis and that the nerve should be removed and the root canals should be cleaned. He put arsenic in it to kill the nerve and told me to come again in a few days. But the tooth started to hurt. I came to that doctor the second time and he took the arsenic out, put a temporarily filling in the tooth and told me to come again in 3 days. For whatever reason, I decided to switch doctors and went to a different doctor. The second doctor examined my tooth, did an X-ray and said that I may have an inflammation of the alveolus of the tooth and he may have to remove the tooth. He cleaned the root canals, out a temporay filling in the tooth and asked me to come again in 5 days. He said the pain may gradually decrease and disappear altogether by the end of these 5 days, and if it doesn't, he will remove the tooth. I don't want to have this tooth pulled out. What other options do I have? Should I take antibiotics to treat the inflammation? I've started to take Ampioxum. How much does a consultation cost in your clinic? Read answer |

| My dentist has recommended that I should have my teeth cleaned from tartar buildup by ultra sound. Is it really necessary to remove it? And does this procedure have any side effects (can it destroy the enamel, etc.)? Read answer |
