Visitor asks:

Hello, I had tooth 27 extracted. After the procedure, my report stated that there was a suspicion of an oroantral communication. What does that mean? Most importantly, it says that I must not smoke for 2–3 weeks, which I think will be difficult. How can smoking affect further healing? Thank you in advance for your answ

Dear Sir/Madam! During extraction of upper molars or premolars, the condition you describe often occurs. It means that there is an opening between the oral cavity and the paranasal sinus at the site of the extracted tooth. Most such communications close spontaneously, but you nee

Visitor asks:

One year ago I had two implants placed in the upper jaw, and in March 2014 a fixed bridge over all the teeth. The teeth are metal-ceramic. For some time now I have been having problems, namely an indistinct pain in the front teeth; I constantly feel the teeth, and swelling and gum inflammation have also started to occu

Dear Sir/Madam! I certainly believe that your dentist has done everything that was possible under the circumstances. Based on the problem described, I think there are two possibilities: repeat root canal treatment of the teeth in question or, if that is not possible, an apicoecto

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! My son is 14 years old and is missing the upper lateral incisors. I would like your opinion on orthodontic treatment, or whether the situation can be managed in some other way, because I would not want implants. Thank you for your answer and kind regards, Metka

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:

Hello! I have a small gap between my two front teeth—just small enough that the insurance company will not cover braces. The gap still bothers me, however. What could be done, what about building up the teeth or bonding, and what are the approximate final prices for the entire procedure? 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! The gap can be closed partially or completely with composite material (white filling). The procedure is reversible and non-radical because it does not require grinding the tooth surface. The result is good, but composites can discolor over time or come off under e

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 19 years old. All my teeth are nice and healthy, but I have a small problem with the upper right lateral incisor because the tooth is tilted forward and slightly to the right.
