Your questions

Good day,
I would like to ask what type of treatment would be used for my tooth in my case. On tooth 2, the front part of the tooth has chipped off (from the gum downward) and it involves just under one third of the tooth; quite a large hole has formed at the site. I would also like to know whether the procedure is as painless as possible, because I am very afraid of dentists and in most cases I have preferred to endure severe pain rather than visit a dentist.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam,
On Monday I developed severe pain in a lower first molar that was treated three years ago. According to the new X-ray, at least 80% of the visible part of the tooth is a white filling. Inflammation has developed under one root. I am currently taking antibiotics to calm the inflammation, and the pain has already decreased by 99%.
Yesterday I went to the dentist who is replacing my usual dentist during her holiday, and she wanted to extract the tooth.
I was still worried, so I sought a second opinion. Two dentists advised retreatment; if that failed, they suggested removing the part of the tooth above the root and rebuilding it. In any case, they did not recommend extraction yet.
Now I am confused because I do not know how to proceed. Is extraction really the most appropriate solution in this case, or is it worth trying to save the tooth?
Thank you in advance for your professional opinion and kind regards.

Kind regards! I am 26 years old and, because of my fear of dentists, I have serious dental problems. Both lower wisdom teeth and an upper second molar are completely destroyed. I am also missing the upper left lateral incisor and the upper right canine, which never erupted. I would like to know the approximate price of such treatment. Kind regards!

Hello. I would like to know whether you also accept patients with a referral for surgery.

Hello! I have a problem: practically almost all my teeth are badly damaged. For nearly 15 years I worked every day from morning until evening, so there was not always time for oral hygiene except in the evening before bed. In addition, I constantly grind my teeth while sleeping; my partner has even sent me out of the bed because she cannot sleep, apparently it is that loud. One front tooth has already been restored with a post, but it is now partly chipped. There are still a few lower front teeth that are more or less okay, but they too are slowly deteriorating. I would like to know approximately how much repair would cost – the cheapest option, because I do not have money and would have to start saving. I am the only one working and we have two children, so there is not much money left over.

Hello, I would like to know how much it costs to repair a chipped tooth with a standard white filling material. Thank you, kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam.
I am 36 years old. I have been diagnosed with generalized aggressive periodontitis. To begin with, I regularly visit my dentist, who only at my last visit, after reviewing a new panoramic X-ray, mentioned that something was wrong and referred me to a periodontist. I saw the periodontist within a month and was shocked: advanced generalized aggressive periodontitis. The teeth are slightly mobile, which I had not noticed myself until now. My gums do not bleed. My first treatment is scheduled in three months. Because I am very worried, I would like to know whether I could lose a tooth during these three months. How quickly can slight mobility progress to tooth loss; is this possible during the three months while I am waiting for treatment? I would also like to know how my personal dentist could have failed to notice this earlier. Otherwise my teeth are attractive and healthy. I am now careful about what and how I eat, and I have started using Decapinol gel, Gengigel and Curaprox mouthwash. In addition to dental floss I have started using interdental brushes.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Kind regards. I am 13 years old. I have a gap of about 5 mm between my two upper central incisors. What should I do?

Hello! I am 31 years old and have had a diagnosis of alopecia totalis for almost 15 years. Since the cause of the disease has not been found, I would like your opinion on whether amalgam fillings in my mouth could be a possible reason. I have 12 large amalgam restorations; in some places they even extend to the gum and my gums bleed there. I would like to know your opinion regarding the mercury contained in amalgam fillings. Thank you. Kind regards, V.

Hello. Tomorrow I am having an apicoectomy of the upper right second premolar. How long does the procedure itself take? And what does it mean that the sinus cavity may be opened during such a procedure? Thank you very much for your answer. Kind regards.
