Dear Sir/Madam, I would like your opinion. I have impacted lower wisdom teeth. I am 39 years old and supposedly wisdom teeth are more difficult to remove with age. I have had problems for about 1.5 years. I had pain and was sent from one doctor to another; most recently I was told the teeth are responsible. Because Sjö

Hello, about 1 month ago I went to a dentist who, over a period of 14 days, replaced my amalgam fillings with white fillings and also repaired several teeth. Altogether he treated 7 teeth. Since then, for a month now, my teeth have been hurting: sometimes the upper jaw, then it moves to the lower jaw, etc. Some of the

Dear Sir/Madam! If we are talking about tooth sensitivity to changes in temperature or osmotic pressure, the condition is reversible, meaning it can return to normal, but this takes time (possibly six months or more). The discomfort can be reduced by using resins to impregnate th

Dear Sir/Madam! I assume you are missing three incisors. The missing teeth can be replaced in two ways: -making a bridge, which requires using at least two adjacent teeth as abutments. Altogether at least five crowns therefore have to be made. The bridge is made in 10 days, or th

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have developed severe pain (lasting at least 4 days) in the area of a “porcelain crown” (lower tooth 5) that I received approximately 10 years ago. It hurts around the tooth (the gum, which has receded considerably) and at the top if I tap or bite. The emergency dentist inserted some strip—for a few h

Visitor asks:

Is it possible to place implants in the upper jaw if a 3D panoramic scan showed that the bone is only 3 mm thick? What is the procedure and how much does it cost in the case of 4 implants, bone augmentation and a removable denture? Thank you in advance for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam! In the case you describe, I assume that you need a sinus lift. In the worst-case scenario, the price is: -EUR 1000 (implant with sinus lift) X 4 = EUR 4000 -EUR 900 (denture with cast base). If you do not need a sinus lift, the price is: -EUR 750 (implant) X 4 = E

Dear Sir/Madam! I would like to know what is better: making a bridge, or simply placing a crown on the lower left second molar and leaving the space between the second premolar and second molar empty because the first molar is missing.

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have a 4-year-old daughter. She had pain in an upper primary first molar; when the filling was removed, there was pus. A week ago she received a new filling, and today I noticed that the gum is inflamed again and there is pus again. What is the next step: should removal of the dental nerve be requested? Becaus
