I recently had to visit a dentist on an emergency basis, as I had lost some of a
filling on a back molar, and the gum had gotten sore and a little inflamed (this
was another dentist in the office of my old dentist, who had retired since I had

ok fellow Docs.. just courious, what is "YOUR" preference of choice if
you had to have a fairly good sized restoration placed on a lower 1st
molar.
I would have to go with Gold inlay/onlay hands down..

I need some fillings. I have a choice between good old fashioned amalgam
and something called 'titan'; all i know about it is that name, the fact
that my dentist thinks it's more durable than amalgam, and that it will
cost me eighty-odd quid a tooth more than amalgam.

Hi I am having Oral Sugery and am also eating Ginger because it
soothes my stomach. Do I need to stop eating the crystallized ginger
before surgery and for how long? I need 9 teeth out and am not taking

I have read many posts so far and thought I might get an answer to my
problem...but I haven't been that lucky, so here goes.
A month ago I had my left 2 top teeth filled.  Now there is nonstop
pain coming from the second tooth in (i think?!). The pain shoots up

Tonight I had a toothache, so I did some flossing, and that caused the
gums around that tooth to start bleeding.  I think there was some food
stuck between the teeth for probably several days (I remember some
food got stuck around that area several days ago, and I thought I

My 7 year old boy lost his front baby teeth earlier this year.
Now one of the adult teeth is growing well but thre is no sign
whatsoever of the other.
Is it usual for there to be such a discrepancy in growth rates?

Can anyone tell me of their personal implant experiences?

Approx 2 years ago my canine finally gave up the ghost, and  the dentist
just filed it down, and said watch and wait to see if the root gives any
trouble before considering removing it, I have a denture, I have to see my
dentist in a few weeks on another matter, this canine root ...

I read somewhere that a good way to prevent or cure gingivitis is to
swish Listerine through your teeth once a day after you floss and brush.

After root canal, does tooth has to be crowned? Are onlays also
recommended?
Thanks

I had a successful root canal done on my farthest back upper molar (got rid
of my wisdom teeth decades ago), and soon there after noticed that that same
