Dear Sir/Madam, I have a referral from my personal dentist requesting an apicoectomy of tooth 11. I regularly develop bothersome fistulas above the central incisor, and there is also mild pain near the nostril. I would like to know when I could be seen by you for an examination and surgery. Thank you very much for your

Visitor asks:

Hello. Since my dentist is currently on holiday, I found you online and would like to ask you one question. Last week I went to the dentist, who extracted one tooth, treated another tooth, and placed a filling in another one. Now, after 4 days, the tooth with the filling is sensitive to cold. The sensitivity is short-l

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! The hypersensitivity is the result of mild inflammation of the dental pulp, caused by irritation of the tooth during the procedure or by the disease process in the tooth itself (dental caries). The situation is not worrying, is very common and may last for several

Hello! I do not know where else to turn for an opinion, but I have a major problem with the upper second premolar, which has no nerve and hurts for about four days every month. Since June I have been swollen three times and received antibiotics just as many times. Today my dentist told me that we would remove it, but I

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! The diagnosis is clear (chronic periapical periodontitis). The treatment options are as follows: -repeat root canal treatment -apicoectomy (if the first option is not possible) -extraction of the tooth (if the second option is also not possible). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I have a 30-month-old child. When he was 1.5 years old, he fell and completely drove his two upper central incisors into the jaw; four days later they were surgically removed. One upper lateral incisor was also knocked out in the fall. I would like to ask how likely it is that he damaged the permanent u

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! There is certainly a possibility that the buds of the permanent teeth (their developing tooth germs) were injured, but it is difficult to quantify the risk. At this age the tooth germs cannot yet be seen on an X-ray because they have not begun to mineralise (miner

Visitor asks:

Hello, My two upper front teeth are chipping and have already once been ground down along the edges. Now I again have small chips on the teeth and would like to know how they could be repaired and what the price of the procedure would be. Thank you for your answer.

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! First, the cause of the condition you describe must be determined. If the cause is not eliminated, the likelihood of damage even after repair of the crown is quite high. The options for restoring the incisal edge are: -adding composite material (EUR 65 per tooth)

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam. I recently completed treatment for periodontal disease at the dental clinic (flap surgery—removal of calculus and deposits). In the process I lost teeth 4, 7 and 8 in the upper jaw. Before the procedure I already had ceramic restorations on the first three teeth on both the upper left and right sides (s

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! Theoretically, then, you are missing the first premolar in the upper jaw. We rarely replace the second and third molars, because we consider the first molar as the last tooth to be sufficient for normal function. The first premolar can be replaced with a bridge, w

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a question about a temporary denture. I would like to know the price and how long it takes to get one. Today the remaining two teeth in my upper jaw were extracted, so now I have no teeth at all, which is difficult. My dentist says I can only get a denture in about a month. I would like to know w

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! A temporary denture can be made within a few days. The price is EUR 500. If an impression of the dental situation could have been taken before the extractions, the temporary denture could be ready at the same appointment at which the teeth are removed (i.e. immedi

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, last week I had a panoramic X-ray taken at a private medical clinic. I was surprised that they did not give me a protective apron; they say that with modern digital machines this is no longer necessary. Is that really the case? My second question is how much time should pass between panoramic X-rays, be

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! The intervals between X-rays of course depend on the problem the dentist is treating. If we followed doctrinal guidelines, there would probably be much more X-ray diagnostics than there is. Not all X-ray machines require protection; there are even devices that are
