Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, At my last dental visit the dentist diagnosed me with bruxism. Only my incisors are worn. I do not have the typical manifestations of this condition: headaches, pain in the chewing muscles and neck. Apart from the worn teeth, this is the only sign. I would like to know the approximate cost of a dental s

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! On the lower right I have a bridge from the second premolar to the second molar, which has already been operated on twice (apicoectomy of tooth 45), and a granuloma has appeared again. I would now like to know how this could be treated. Is it possible to place an implant instead of the second premolar a

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! An implant can be placed in place of the second premolar; either immediately after extraction or approximately two months after removal of the tooth, depending on the condition of the bone at the site of the procedure. After implant placement, we wait two to three

Visitor asks:

Hello, tomorrow my upper left first premolar will be extracted because the tooth cracked deep into the root and apparently can no longer be saved. I would like to know how long after the extraction implant placement could begin. What is the price (everything together with examinations, X-rays, an aesthetic temporary re

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! Two to three months after the tooth is removed, an implant can be placed. Price of the procedure: - EUR 750 (implant without added bone) + EUR 700 (all-ceramic crown) = EUR 1450. The price includes all procedures and materials from the examination to the final res

Visitor asks:

Kind regards, On 3 November 2011 I went to the emergency dentist, who extracted my lower left second molar. After four days the wound hurts, but it is only very slightly suppurating, almost not at all. I would like to know what is better to eat after a tooth has been removed: something cold (ice cream or similar) or so

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

After the procedure described, we always recommend cooling. If some acute inflammation occurs even after four days, ice cream is certainly appropriate. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have one question. Both lower first molars need to be extracted. Both teeth have been treated extensively and have now literally fallen apart. Only the roots are left. My dentist referred me to an oral surgeon. Since I am only 32 years old and have no major problems with the other teeth, I am tempted to have i

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I would like to know how you could help me because my lower teeth "move" if I touch them with my finger. I tried mouthwash and it was better for a while, but then it became the same again. What could the solution be? Have a nice day!

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, I believe you have periodontal disease. Loss of bone around the tooth roots to the extent that the teeth are mobile requires action. The diagnosis, type of therapy and prognosis can be determined after an X-ray and clinical examinat

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you with a question concerning my son. On 27 September 2011 he fell from a BMX bicycle and partially broke both upper central incisors. A local X-ray was taken; teeth 11 and 21 showed no fracture in the roots, while tooth 12 showed a thin fracture at the junction between the root and the

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! If the tooth has been successfully root-canal treated, has no symptoms and the X-ray is impeccable, an individual crown can be made. Prosthetic work that would connect several teeth is certainly contraindicated, as this could influence proper growth of the jaw. If

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have had problems with my wisdom tooth for several years. They have already tried twice to remove it, but the root remained inside and became surrounded by bone. Since then it occasionally becomes inflamed and causes severe pain. I had to go to the dentist again, who inserted a strip and prescribed an

Visitor asks:

Hello! Four days ago I had an apicoectomy on the upper second premolar. Everything was fine, but today the tooth started to hurt and it is throbbing badly. It is also very sensitive to touch. I am taking an antibiotic and would like to know whether I should come back to the dental office, since the stitches will not be
