Dentist Messed Up and Won’t Refund Me

I am very frustrated. I had a dental crown placed. There was not any problem with the tooth, it was more for cosmetic purposes. I had some soreness and then some sensitivity to hot and cold. The dentist’s office said that it was normal for that to happen for the first few weeks. Eventually, though, […]

My Dentist Couldn’t Find My Toothache

I am very diligent with going to the dentist. He suggested because of a family history of decay that I come in for cleaning and checkups every three months instead of every six. I’d been having a horrible toothache on a tooth, which already had a filling, for the last few days, so I went […]

Is a Tooth Infection Really Dangerous?

A little over a week ago, I broke a back tooth. It had been decaying a bit so it was likely weak anyway. It wasn’t too long after that the tooth started hurting. Now the pain has spread. First to the cheek, now it is moving up to my temple. I was hoping it was […]

Root Canal or Extraction with a Disastrous Dentist

I cracked a molar and my dentist said that I needed a dental crown, which I got. The process was awful and I felt like the tooth was being electrocuted. Even after it was done it didn’t feel right. I had trouble chewing where they put the crown and the tooth was very sensitive. The […]

Can I Get Away with Antibiotics for an Infected Tooth?

I’ve been a bit low on money since I got laid off. I recently got a new job, but it will be a month before I get paid because of how they handle payroll. Meanwhile, I have what I am pretty sure is an infected tooth. Last night, I ate something that made the tooth […]

Sinus Infections, Toothaches, and Heart Attacks

I had a toothache in and upper tooth and went to the dentist who didn’t see anything. So, I then went to see my doctor. It turned out that I had a sinus infection that was making my tooth hurt. Now I’m having pain in my lower tooth and jaw. Could this also be from […]

Does This Need a Second Root Canal?

I had a root canal done on an upper canine. The temporary filling came off and the tooth developed an abscess. It’s not painful unless I press on the area, but my dentist still wants to do a second root canal treatment. Is that absolutely necessary? Is it possible to just take an antibiotic for […]

Can You Have a Cavity Inside the Tooth Without Being on the Outside?

I recently moved, which necessitated seeing another dentist. My new dentist said I have a tooth that needs a root canal treatment and referred me to an endodontist. I’m questioning this diagnosis for a couple of reasons. First, there are no outward signs of decay at all. This tooth has always been perfect and never […]

Is a Tooth Infection Dangerous?

I broke a molar a couple of weeks ago. Now, the tooth has been hurting. The pain has spread past the molar and into my temple area. I think it could be in referred pain from the tooth, but my sister thinks the tooth is infected and that it is spreading. I think I can […]

Tooth Infection and No Money

I have two missing teeth in the back of my mouth. Now I have another tooth that has been hurting me. I don’t have dental insurance and I just started a new job and will not get paid for a month. I thought it would be okay to wait. However, this morning, my cheek is […]
