I had tooth #19 bothering me. I went to see a dentist who advertised as an emergency dentist. I didn’t have a dentist of my own. I will admit that is my own fault because I have a bit of an issue with dental anxiety. I told the dentist exactly which tooth was bothering me… Continue reading Misdiagnosis Led to a Painful Dental Emergency

How to Get a Refund from a Dentist Who Screwed Up
I had a dental crown done to repair the slant of a tooth. The tooth was slanted because of my thumb-sucking as a child for an embarrassing number of years. After the crown was placed, the tooth became sensitive to hot and cold. I’d never had a crown before so I called the office. They… Continue reading How to Get a Refund from a Dentist Who Screwed Up
Cavity With No Outward Signs?
Is it possible to have a cavity when there are no outward signs? There is no decay on my teeth anywhere. My previous dentist never indicated any problems with my teeth at my last check up.

Only Water Helps My Tooth Pain
I have had two fillings for many years. One of them fell out but gives me no pain at all. The other one that stayed hurts constantly. The only relief I get is when I put cool water on it.

Should the Venue Pay for My Emergency Dental Visit?

Dealing with a Broken Tooth
My husband recently fell and broke both of his front teeth. Do you know what we need to do to get this fixed? Will he need to extract them, or maybe get dental crowns?

Snap-On Smile to Replace a Tooth?
I have an infected first molar. There is not a molar behind it. My choices are a root canal treatment (which is rather expensive) or extract the tooth and get a dental implant (which is more expensive). Of course my dentist gives me all the expensive options. What I’m wondering is if I can Read… Continue reading Snap-On Smile to Replace a Tooth?
Her Dentist Majorly Missed This
I need some help. I had an accident which left me with damage to my chin and side of my face. I did see a dentist after being released from the ER.

Who Broke This Man’s Tooth?
I need some advice about an incident with my tooth. I have a 30+ year old crown.

No abcess.… Continue reading Who Broke This Man’s Tooth?
