Visitor asks:

Hello, I have been wearing fixed braces for a year and a half. Because my upper right lateral incisor never developed, the arrangement of my teeth did not look very good, so my orthodontist suggested fixed braces to create space for a new tooth where the permanent lateral incisor should be. The space is now large enoug

Dear Maja! If the bone and anatomical conditions are satisfactory and the neighboring teeth are healthy and intact, we certainly recommend a dental implant. For an exact answer, we would need to see at least an X-ray. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, my upper central and lateral incisors are crooked, so the upper teeth are not nicely aligned. I would like to know whether anything can be done about this and approximately how much it costs? Thank you and kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam! With an incorrect position of the teeth, orthodontic therapy is always the first treatment of choice; the use of dental braces. We do not provide orthodontic treatment ourselves, so I cannot answer your question. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Kind regards! Is it really necessary, for a dental implant replacing a lower tooth 6, to have not only a conventional dental CT but also a cone-beam CT (which costs EUR 113 and comes with a CD)? Thank you in advance for your answer! Erik

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 decision depends exclusively on the treating clinician. If the clinician believes that more complex diagnostic procedures are necessary for a safe procedure, they must be obtained before the procedure. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am writing to you in the hope of receiving an answer to my question. I have problems with a tooth 6 which, according to two dentists, cannot be treated successfully in the conventional way. In their opinion, it is impossible to clean the root canals, so they suggested either extracting the tooth or treatment b

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! Given that two clinicians have already expressed a similar opinion regarding treatment of the tooth 6, I doubt that you would find a practitioner who could successfully carry out the treatment in question. Such problems are certainly dealt with by specialists. You

Visitor asks:

Hello! About a month ago I visited a dentist for a check-up to see whether everything was all right. However, she referred me for an X-ray of all my teeth because she was surprised that I might have periodontal disease at age 36. The images showed that I am at the beginning of this disease. At the last visit she remove

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 of the condition of the periodontal tissues is established after examining a panoramic X-ray. At our practice we can make such an X-ray, evaluate the existing condition and propose appropriate treatment. Since your dentist has already referred you to

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, my 8-year-old son lost a baby canine and now the gum in that area has a bluish color, while the permanent tooth has not erupted yet. I would appreciate your advice. Kind regards and 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! After a baby tooth falls out, the gum at that site is always somewhat different in color. Quite often an eruption hematoma (a sac filled with blood) develops above the crown of the erupting permanent tooth beneath the gum surface; it is bluish in color. It disappe

Visitor asks:

Hello! For years my lower left central incisor has been slowly chipping away. Most recently yesterday. The tooth stands further outward and bears all the load when I bite. Now it hurts, although it never did before. On this tooth my gum also receded because of incorrect brushing (I changed from a medium-hard brush to a

Dear Sir/Madam! In the case of pain, the tooth would need appropriate root canal treatment. Persistent pain, pain on percussion and pressure are signs indicating inflammation or even death of the dental pulp. After the treatment is completed, the tooth is then appropriately rebui

Visitor asks:

Kind regards. After tartar was removed from my wife's lower jaw, one of her teeth became very loose. I would like to know whether this could be due to an injury during tartar removal, whether the dentist must repair it at their own expense, and whether you could examine what can be done. We would both come, because I 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! It is difficult for me to imagine that a tooth would start becoming loose because of tartar removal. It is possible that a large amount of tartar was helping to stabilise the tooth against the neighbouring tooth, which was likewise covered in tartar. The tooth was

Visitor asks:

Hello, recently half of my lower first molar broke off again; the tooth was more or less mostly filling. The tooth is dead and heavily filled. I would like to know what more durable restoration you would suggest, considering the tooth has been dead for about 10 years. Does it even make sense to fill it again? Half of t

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 X-ray shows no particular abnormalities, it is certainly worth keeping the tooth. Usually it is restored with a post and an artificial dental crown. Price of the crown: 210 EUR for a metal-ceramic crown, 350 EUR for an all-ceramic crown. If the X-ray shows
