I have been going to the dentist regularly since childhood because I already had caries as a child. I go for regular check-ups and all my fillings have been replaced with white ones. Recently, however, I feel that my teeth are more sensitive and I have a strange sensation; it is not pain or sensitivity, but rather as if I had a worn filling and occasionally feel a prickling sensation. I have already told my dentist and we also took a panoramic X-ray; nothing appears to be wrong. We took the panoramic X-ray just under two months ago. Can you advise me what I could do, perhaps buy some cream, a special toothbrush, or something else? At the moment I have the most trouble with the filling between the upper left central and lateral incisors. I had a small carious lesion there which was treated so well that it is barely noticeable; again, my dentist told me everything is fine, so I hope you might have some suggestion for me. Thank you in advance for your answer!

Dear Sir/Madam! What you describe is most often a consequence of hypersensitivity of the tooth necks. Unpleasant sensations can occur with changes in osmotic pressure (sweet, sour, salty...) or changes in temperature. The tooth neck is the area on the tooth root immediately below the enamel margin. If it is not covered by the gum, the tooth becomes sensitive. The condition is not alarming and can be alleviated by applying a coating to the tooth necks or by using toothpastes for hypersensitivity. In any case, before making the final diagnosis it is necessary to rule out conditions that could seriously endanger the health of the tooth (caries...). Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam, seven years ago I had a motorcycle accident and damaged the upper left first and second premolars to such an extent that my dentist made two crowns. The second premolar has now been extracted because it was so damaged and mobile that it could not be treated, and the same procedure will probably also be necessary for the first premolar. I will most likely need two implants. I would like to know the approximate price for the entire procedure and whether it would be any cheaper because two implants would be placed at the same time. I am still a student, so the price is all the more important to me. Thank you for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam! In the situation you describe, we most often solve the problem with one implant and two crowns. If the distance between the canine and the first molar is large enough, that is, sufficient to meet the parameters defining the required distances between individual implants and teeth, then we place two implants. Prices: case with one implant -750 Eur (implant) -420 Eur (crown on implant) -210 Eur (crown as a cantilever or pontic) case with two implants: -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 2 = 840 Eur In the second case we give a 15% discount. The price includes all materials and procedures from the beginning to the final result, including temporary restorations. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam, after biting down hard I developed a strange sensation in the upper left first premolar, on which I have had a porcelain crown for about 25 years; it was replaced once in the meantime (post and crown). Since that unfortunate bite I have felt that the tooth is mobile and there is an unpleasant sensation. The dentist noticed the mobility and ground the tooth slightly because it seemed too high. There was a slight improvement in the mobility, but it still persists. I am very worried because my dentist mentioned a root fracture as a possible cause of the mobility, but could not confirm it on the basis of the X-ray. What worries me most is what I can expect. I would not like the condition to worsen because nothing is being done, and I am afraid of a more serious inflammation, bone loss, or whatever else might be possible. I kindly ask you to tell me what to do. Thank you and kind regards. Polona

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, I think a root fracture could be the cause of the mobility of the crown. Vertical fractures are most often an unsolvable problem and the tooth is usually lost. On an X-ray, a fracture is difficult or impossible to show, at least in its initial stage. Horizontal fractures in the area of the tooth neck can be managed by making a new root post and crown. Fractures in the area of the root tip can be treated with an apicoectomy. The middle part of the root is usually the most problematic because the two solutions mentioned above are not applicable there. If a fracture has indeed occurred, inflammation will appear on the gum at that site, tooth mobility will increase, and pain will also develop. Have a nice day!

Hello. Almost two years ago I had an appointment with a surgeon for wisdom tooth extraction. Unfortunately, at the time I was unable to undergo the procedure (new job, university exams, ...). From then until now I did not have major problems with the tooth itself, until recently, when the gum started to swell and pain

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of wisdom tooth extraction is 90 Eur. When scheduling, we try to adapt to the urgency of the procedure. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, a year and a half ago my dentist treated my upper first molar; for quite some time (a few months) I have had pain high above that molar, above the gum, where the bone can be felt this bone hurts only when touched; the tooth and the gum are not painful to touch; This pain on pressure probably originates from the

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! The pain is a consequence of increased pressure beneath the periosteum at that site. The condition is probably the result of current inflammation of the periodontal tissues, perhaps also of the bone, at the very tip of the root of the first molar, which was filled

Visitor asks:

Six months ago I had to have the lower right first premolar extracted. Because too many teeth were missing, I received a partial denture instead of bridges. More than the denture itself, what bothers me is that the corners of my mouth droop and my lips look thinner, like those of an elderly person. Could this be due to

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Drooping corners of the mouth may be a consequence of changed intermaxillary relationships: a reduced distance between the upper and lower jaws. The problem occurs because of loss or changes in the teeth of the supporting zone. In such a case, restoring the origin

Visitor asks:

Hello Tomaž I would like to know what the procedure would be, because both upper central incisors have darkened and are slightly damaged. In what way could this be treated and how much would I have to pay for this problem? Can only crowns be placed, or are both teeth ground down and covered with ceramic? Thank you for

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! I assume that both incisors are non-vital, which is the reason for the discoloration. Non-vital and damaged incisors are best restored with root posts and crowns. This provides good aesthetic and functional rehabilitation. The price of the procedure depends on the

Hello, I would like to know the price of a bridge. Have a nice day

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! If I understand the situation correctly, you would need a bridge from tooth 4 to tooth 6, with a post in tooth 6. Price of the procedure: -210 Eur (metal-ceramic crown) X 3 = 630 Eur. Have a nice day!
