the filling is within the tooth wall. But I think the filling was done when the cavity is pretty deep.

Is it possible that the pain is due to the thin tooth layer underneath the filling?

Does flossing really a need for your teeth health? lol

I cannot recall being exposed to flossing when i was in primary/secondary school.
Is it really necessary?

Oo.. ok. thanks for your advice

One more thing, does scaling really necessary? Wouldn't it thin the enamel layer?

If I didnt do it, how?
Never done scaling before.

hello doc,

Hi doc, I am feeling very painful on one of my central incisor, I would like to know what is the possible treatment that i can expect from my dentist during my visit next week?

There's no cavity on the tooth.
I have search through the internet and some said root canal will do the work but i would like some professional help.
Plus the dentist that i will be visiting is a very expensive one so what is the best solution would you recommend me to go for?

I been told that Fluoride is not an advisable element in toothpaste and secondly I have a gum that will bleed all the time when I brush my teeth.  How can I deal with this ?

my wisdom teeth cracked/chipped about half just now and i can feel the sharp edge with my finger. no pain for now(hopefully not until i see dentist) but im not familiar with dentist around pj area

heard fixing the wistom tooth is very exp so i want to know which clinic has a good service and with reasonable price?

hi..im 24 this year..i think is about time my wisdom teeth started to erupt..unfortunately..i think is impacted...bcs whn im chewing..my gum hurts...can i know how much it cost to remove it??

Similar to other cases discussed earlier, my back tooth was aching and dentist suggested root canal treatment, followed by crowning. I was a bit sceptical on this, because based on the condition of my tooth filing which is still good, no swollen gum or pus, fever, except for pain. I wonder on what ground the dentist make such judgement and recommendations.

While looking for second opinion, I am taking the prescribed antibiotics, which doesn't seem to help much. ALthough not constantly pain, but I still can't chew using the affected tooth

Anyone could shed some light?

I'm 22 adult. If I only have 20 teeth in total, is that consider normal? Because normally an adult has 32 teeth

im having really pain tooth pain at my moral. I ate 2 aspirin also no relief to the pain. Should i took any antibiotic to stop the inflammation to the roots or straight arrange RCT? The pain is so unbearable

Hi,

I encountered terrible tooth nerve pain early this year.. and I did the root canal treatment . The problem solved.

After almost 10 months, my another tooth having the same problem. Yes. Both teeth had permanent filling before.
But it was quite sometime ago.

How to overcome this problem.? I brush occasionally (3 times a day) and use Listerine.

Surprisingly after 4 days using the pain killer, the extreme pain is gradually gone, now keep using sansodine just for in case

How did they get there, why did the immune system not flush them out, why did the tubules in that tooth stop doing their job of keeping the tooth resilient? As they clearly have for many years, and still do for dozens of other teeth in the patient? "Bacteria" are always in our mouths, have been ever since mouths first evolved, and from before the moment of birth. Yet usually for many years of youth no such issues occur. Those are the dental questions that mystify me as an amateur observer of the topic! Of course that would imply that a dental issue usually has an undiagnosed/unnoticed medical issue underlying, or plain malnourishment (mineral misbalance etc). Your thoughts?

Sometimes? Given how small bacteria are, isn't this bound to happen every single time after the antibiotics/mouthwash used after/during treatment wear off? Especially taking into view a time frame of multiple decades of life?

I doubt that and would wager the opposite.. again as an interested bystander, not a dental professional. Brushing is clearly a somewhat abrasive action on enamel, especially weakened enamel. As are whitening products and toothpastes. Consequently, the harder, longer or more frequently one brushes, the more enamel is stressed --- in addition to and on top of abrasive and/or acidic food stuffs ingested.
