Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.From the images attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), it is suggestive of secondary caries or a broken filling. Take an X-ray and do a root canal treatment if possible and replace it with a crown. If it is grossly decayed, then it is better to extract the tooth. I suggest antibiotics to prevent infection.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through your query and understood your concern. Firstly, you must get treated with a filling for the hole in your tooth. Since you have pain, I suggest you to take an intra-oral radiograph and do a root canal treatment for the tooth. Only then your pain will subside.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You are 29 years old and have a wisdom tooth growing that is supposed to be very late for wisdom tooth eruption because, by 20, your wisdom tooth should have come out. I suggest you x-ray the tooth to see if it is in the correct position of eruption or if it is impacted. If the tooth's position is not in the direction of eruption, then the tooth may try to erupt, but there might not be enough space for it, or the position of eruption might be wrong, and it might have got infected. I suggest you take the following antibiotic course and extract the teeth.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As your dentist said, the cavity is too deep; one thing is a normal filling cannot be done since a deep cavity has to be cleaned, and then a filling has to be done; in that case, there are chances that the pulp chamber may get exposed then you may have pain. There are deep cavities that may be asymptomatic, which is without any pain but in which normal filling cannot be done, so to save your tooth, you may need a root canal treatment (RCT). Only when it is grossly damaged and cannot be restored will you be advised extraction. It is better if you go ahead with RCT.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. A small part of the cleaning instrument usually breaks inside the tooth if the canal is very narrow. If the procedure is completed in a short period, it serves as a good sealer depending on the position of the broken instrument, but I think it will take a long time for you to get back to the procedure. If you continue the treatment, I cannot comment on the outcome. So, I suggest you undergo extraction if the tooth is badly infected and continue your medications till the abscess subsides.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern and would be happy to help. An old silver filling can get damaged, and the edges can break. If there is no pain and the X-ray does not show changes in the normal filling, then your dentist will trim the sharp edges. I hope this helps.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern and would be happy to help. You have an orthodontic problem; your jaws are small compared to your teeth size. Therefore, your teeth are not in a proper bite position. Your orthodontist has suggested removing two teeth called premolars which are present on the side, and not in the front.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is pericoronitis with abscess and a condition that needs a dentist's good cleaning of the area with saline. If required, the flap overlying may be surgically removed. You will be advised for an X-ray first, then the required treatment. Since you have an abscess, it is advised you take antibiotics for three days.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have said your wisdom tooth is out. If so, you have a generalized inflammation of the gums or localized gum inflammation near the wisdom teeth. If you have a generalized gum inflammation with mouth ulcers all over your soft mucosa, it is in no way related to wisdom teeth. You have mentioned you have a fever too.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I hope you are doing good. Bad breath can occur for many reasons, one of them being gingivitis or gum inflammation that occurs due to the hardening of plaque deposited on the teeth, which cannot be removed by regular brushing. You may need a professional cleaning done by a dentist or a hygienist at a dental clinic. It is mandatory for everyone at least once every six months.
