Comment on Root Canal Treatment, should I wait by Brad Perrett

I strictly suggest you not to wait any longer. Just schedule an appointment with a reputed dental consultant near you and explain everything about the dental problem. There is no need to remove the tooth, a root canal treatment from scratch will definitely work and will give you improvement within 2 weeks.

I also have a bad experience about tooth pain. However, I think you should have an appointment to your dentist before you go away.

It is a matter of my mother’s teeth and is most sensitive. I can not take any risk. So I will take my mother to a dentist as soon as possible.

Please can you advise me too, i have bleached my teeth and now have two very grey shaded crowns which I am very conscious of and I do not like to smile. Am I entitles to have these crowns replaced on the nhs? I was considering having the two teeth vennered, what would you recommend and with the teeth looking so bad and the crowns being years old will my dentist be able to do this under the nhs….really fed up!

Your best course of action is to write to the dentist and tell him you are not happy with the work that has been done. Presumably you have already told him or the practice verbally you are not happy with the work. The sooner you do this the more likely you are of having a successful outcome which I presume is to have the filling changed.

I would also ask the dentist to comment in writing about his comment to you “people do not have injections anymore for fillings” as this is a very odd comment for him to have made to you

There is nothing wrong with my hearing and this is exactly what the dentist said . Do I take it from your comment that I may have grounds for a complaint ?

Comment on Duraphat 2800 by MJI

Duraphat toothpaste is a high fluoride content toothpaste aimed at the prevention and reversal of early decay. The guidelines I presume your dentist is referring to are:

http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/documents/digitalasset/dh_102982.pdf

-where it is indicated for high caries (decay) risk patients. If you find it successful in reducing your sensitivity then I would have no problem in prescribing it to you, however.

You could either discuss it with your dentist, stating the recommended toothpastes haven’t worked, or find another dentist.
