Sensitive crowns

August 29, 2012 by writeradmin

I had six crowns put on last week. two of them are dryving me crazy!!! Theyre sensitive to everything. hot cold you name it. My dentist says to be patient, but I just think maybe he did something wrong. I got a second opinion. this doc thought “maybe” some of the dentin (?) was exposed. What do I do!!

Brent W. from Little Rock

Brent,

It is not uncommon to have sensitivity after having crowns placed. Sometimes it takes several weeks to get them to settle down. If the dentist wasn’t sure about the dentin, then I am prone to think there wasn’t an obvious problem. My suggestion would be to give it a few more weeks. However, the pain should be getting better, not worse. If things worsen, I would have your dentist double check to see why these two teeth aren’t healing. You may end up needing a root canal treatment.

Invisalign or braces?

August 27, 2012 by writeradmin

If I’ve got crowding on the bottom of my teeth will invisalign work? How much is it? Are they better than regular braces? I’m 19 and still have some wisdom teeth coming in, but I’ve already got a crowding problem.

J. T. from Atlanta

J.T.,

Both Invisalign and traditional braces work equally well. Invisalign works faster, is not noticeable and is more comfortable, but not everyone is a candidate. If you’re only real issue is overcrowding, you may be a perfect candidate. Their cost is about the same, though it will cost you several thousand dollars. If you have dental insurance, it will help a little, but not a lot.
