Dear Sir/Madam! I am 28 years old. I have an enormous fear of the dentist... a few years ago I lost my upper right first molar, I have several filled teeth...

Hello! I am interested in aesthetic veneers. My right central incisor slightly overlaps the lateral incisor. On the left lateral incisor I have had a filling for several years. I also have slightly exposed tooth necks that are occasionally sensitive. I would like veneers on both central incisors and both lateral inciso

Dear Sir/Madam! Veneers are usually placed on relatively undamaged teeth. In that case they are also durable. If the teeth concerned also require functional rehabilitation (large fillings, fractures, etc.), it is better to make a conventional crown (for reasons of durability). Th

Hello! I have a problem. For three days I have had a lump on my neck immediately under the jaw. I went to a doctor, who prescribed antibiotics (they think the lymph nodes are enlarged). The condition is not improving much, because every time I eat it swells even more. Could this be connected with my teeth? I also have

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, I can think of three possibilities: -The swelling may be due to enlarged lymph nodes, which in this case would also be painful. The enlarged lymph nodes are most likely a consequence of a pathological process around the tooth you me

Hello, I have a 17-year-old son who lost half of a tooth in a traffic accident (upper right central incisor). The entire top of the tooth broke off; the fracture line is straight, so his dentist says that restoration is not possible without destroying the root. Given his age and the fact that his teeth are in excellent

Dear Sir/Madam! If the fracture of the dental crown was so extensive that the pulp chamber was opened (which means irreversible damage to the dental pulp), the pulp must be removed completely, including from the root canal. The procedure is called root canal or endodontic treatme

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, just under a week ago I underwent a sinus lift and placement of three implants. Three days after the operation I had an elevated temperature (37.5) for two days, but this has now gone. There is no swelling, although I still occasionally feel some kind of pain in the jaw. I do, however, feel an unusual f

Dear Sir/Madam! Considering the time that has elapsed since the operation, we cannot speak of a complication. The procedure was carried out in an anatomical space that is directly connected with the nasal cavity and the nasal part of the pharynx via the inferior nasal concha. The

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! My dentist is away and I have severe unbearable pain on the right side of my head. I have an X-ray of my teeth from last week where it most likely looks as though a wisdom tooth is growing. I would like to know whether you can remove it immediately, without any waiting. I cannot feel the tooth itself be

Visitor asks:

Hello, since childhood I have had a problem with grinding my teeth at night. I would like to know whether the consequences of this can be dangerous for the teeth and what I can do to stop it. I also frequently develop granulomas. Can grinding contribute to their formation? Thank you in advance and kind regards!

Visitor asks:

Hello, My upper central incisor died years ago. The dead tissue was removed from the root canal and the canal was filled. Over time the tooth became darker. I would like to know whether correction with a veneer is possible. Thank you very much for your answer. Klemen

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