Hello! Because of a granuloma I will lose my lower first and second molars. I would like to know whether implants could be placed instead, since I have heard that some kind of nerve runs there and that the procedure is supposedly risky. Thank you for your answer!

Hello,
I am 31 years old. In general I do not have problems with my teeth, I visit the dentist regularly and take care of oral hygiene. At my last visit, my dentist advised me to have two bridges made because I am missing both lower second premolars on the left and right (at the age of 20 I still had the deciduous teeth there, and permanent teeth never developed). The dentist also told me that because both second premolars are missing, gaps will gradually develop between my lower front teeth. At present, both my upper and lower front teeth look nice and healthy. The missing premolars do not bother me; I am only concerned about what can really happen to the lower front teeth.
The bridge is supposed to be placed on two prepared teeth (the first and second molars), not on the first molar and first premolar, as is usually the case with two adjacent teeth. I should mention that I have no problems with the first and second molars, although both have large fillings. I no longer have my wisdom teeth; I had them removed.
I would like your opinion — what should I do??? I am also interested in the approximate price of both bridges, including all work.
Thank you
Kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam!
To make a decision I would need to see your orthopantomogram! In principle, the first premolars have a tendency to move into the gap behind them, so within a few years we can expect diastemas (spaces) at least between the first premolars and canines in the lower jaw. It is difficult to predict whether the same will happen with the incisors. In any case, dental doctrine aims to establish a continuous dental arch, because this allows biting forces to be distributed evenly throughout the whole arch. If your dentist has proposed bridges or cantilevers supported by the first and second molars, trust that decision. Personally, I can suggest placing implants at the sites of the second premolars. With this type of treatment, neighbouring teeth can be left intact (they do not need to be ground down). Prices of services:
-bridges: metal-ceramic crown (210 Eur) X 6 = 1260 Eur all-ceramic (350 Eur) X 6 = 2100 Eur Given the quantity, we offer you a 10% discount on everything. -implants: implant (900 Eur) X 2 = 1800 Eur, crown on implant (420 Eur) X 2 = 840 Likewise a 10% discount.

Hello!
My son (3.5 years old) hit his teeth in a fall. He bled heavily and his two upper central incisors became loose. Of course I took him to the dentist. At the check-up a week later she found that the teeth were still loose and the gums still inflamed. She gave us another 5 days, after which she says an X-ray will be needed and, if the root is fractured, the tooth will have to be removed. She recommended rinsing with chamomile. How long do 'bruised' gums take to heal before the inflammation disappears? Can a tooth become firm and reattach in inflamed gums, or does the inflammation first have to be treated? What else can I do besides rinsing with chamomile? And if the tooth has to be removed, how is extraction performed in such young children — local anaesthesia, perhaps even general anaesthesia?
Thank you for any advice or even just a hint!
Have a nice day, Helena

Dear Sir/Madam!
In cases of injury to deciduous teeth, treatment options are much more limited than with injuries to permanent teeth. Based on the symptoms described after the injury, I assume that the child sustained subluxation of both upper incisors. In principle, the mobility may decrease over time, but unfortunately the teeth will most likely remain non-vital despite becoming firm again, which can lead to later complications (complicated gangrene...). If symptoms of inflammation (pain, swelling, redness) do not subside within a few days, or if infection is present, I recommend removal of the deciduous incisors regardless of whether the root is fractured or not. In this situation you cannot help the child yourself; hygiene remains essential as usual. Extraction of deciduous teeth is simple and is performed under local anaesthesia.

Hello!

I would like to know the following: can the entire treatment/restoration be carried out in a single visit? I have also seen a few questions about general anaesthesia — is it chargeable, and can it be performed at the patient's request at all? Otherwise I brush my teeth regularly at least twice a day and do not have any pain, but recently I have been getting swellings on the gums that are sometimes painful to touch but disappear within 14 days.
Thank you in advance for your answer!

Dear Sir!
In principle, larger procedures and reconstructions cannot be completed in a single visit. If only a few fillings are needed, it might be possible to finish the treatment in one session with a somewhat longer appointment. Treatment under general anaesthesia at the patient's request is possible, but it must be indicated, meaning that rehabilitation cannot be performed in any other way. Work under general anaesthesia (with the exception of severely affected patients, e.g. Down syndrome) is chargeable.

Hello,
My dentist treated a tooth, the upper left tooth 6, for quite a long time. Every time he cleaned one of the canals it hurt, so he repeatedly placed medication in the root canals. In June he completed the root filling. About 14 days after the filling and temporary closure of the tooth, pain developed in the gum above the tooth. I visited a dentist again (the emergency dentist), who prescribed Efloran. After taking the antibiotic, the tooth was fairly all right for 2 months. Now, however, almost unbearable pain has returned — again above the treated tooth, in the gum, and the tooth is also sensitive to touch.
What is your opinion? Will I lose the tooth?

Dear Sir/Madam!
The problems you describe are relatively common in everyday practice. The causes of the described problem can be different. I assume that the root filling is unremarkable on the X-ray, so statistically I would most readily suspect the presence of an additional canal in the MB root, which statistics show to be the reason for the problems you describe in as many as 30% of cases. In this case I recommend treatment using magnification or even an operating microscope, which in practice has proved very successful in searching for a fourth canal. Among the other possibilities, statistically it would be worth mentioning a porous filling, the presence of periapical ramifications, or anatomical peculiarities of the canals that would prevent adequate root canal filling. In practice we ourselves also frequently encounter cases that cannot be placed into any of the listed or unlisted categories. If you want a more precise answer, we need to perform an X-ray and clinical examination.

Dear Sir/Madam!
Clean the bridge conventionally with a toothbrush (stroke from red to white, i.e. from the gums toward the teeth). Clean the contact areas with neighbouring teeth using an interdental brush or dental floss, depending on the available space that determines access to the interdental area. Clean the space under the bridge with an interdental brush or special dental floss whose firmer working end allows it to be threaded under the bridge. I am pleased that you have taken an interest in the hygiene of your prosthodontic restoration, as this is the basis for its long survival.
