Do I Need All 4 of My Wisdom Teeth Removed at Age 40?
I’m 40 and had no problems with my wisdom teeth until I was 38. Last month was my six-month exam and time for a panoramic x-ray. My dentist said two wisdom teeth are impacted, and one has a cavity. That explains why I have been feeling some discomfort. She referred me to an oral surgeon…

Why Are My Options for a Calcified Root Canal?
to check the tooth last week when I had an exam and cleaning. After taking an X-ray, my dentist said the root canal is calcified, and I need root canal treatment and a new crown to prevent the tooth from fracturing. I’ve never heard of root calcification, so I am unsure if a root canal…

Should I Still Feel Pain After a Tooth Filling?
A dentist placed a new silver filling last Friday without telling me it was silver. The filling is in my bottom left second molar. That’s the side of my mouth that I chew on. Now, whenever I have a cold drink of anything, even water, my tooth hurts soooo much. It almost feels as if…

My Dentist Won’t Admit He Ruined My Bridge
While placing two new crowns last December, my dentist nicked one of the crowns in a Maryland bridge that I got in 2002. The bridge is old, but I had no intention of replacing it because it is in good condition. And the nicked crown is my left front tooth. Two weeks later, I noticed…

Will a Dentist Need to Replace All My New Fillings?
My dentist replaced three silver fillings with white ones in April. I have symptoms in all three fillings, which concerns me. If only one filling was uncomfortable, I would be more inclined to let my dentist replace it, but I am skeptical. I feel moderate pain when I eat, mild sensitivity to heat and cold,…

My Dentist Won't Give Me Crowns Unless I Get Braces First
Last week, my dentist insulted me by telling me that he would not replace the crowns on my four upper front teeth unless I got braces. He said the teeth are crooked and bucked, and crowns will not look right. I am 58 years old and have no intention of getting braces. Neither my teeth…
