Porcelain Veneer Fell Off

I had porcelain veneers done several years ago by another dentist, who has since retired. The veneers improved my smile quite a bit because I had tetracycline stains.

Salivary Gland stone or Toothache?

A few weeks ago, I had some tooth pain on a tooth. My tooth had a mercury filling. As I was planning on switching out that filling anyway, I scheduled an appointment. The dentist replaced the filling but didn’t see a problem. I’m still having pain but now it is radiating to my ear. I […]

How Serious Is an Infected Tooth?

I had a molar break. It is not the wisdom tooth, but the one in front of it. I was short on money so put off going to the dentist. Plus, if I am being completely honest, then I will admit I’m not the best dental patient. This happened a week and a half ago. […]

Her Dentist is Missing the Obvious

A Misdiagnosis Led to a Dental Nightmare

I need some advice and think I should take some legal action here. I don’t have a regular dentist because of some dental anxiety I have and the fact that I am new to the area. I had a pretty bad toothache in tooth #19 according to a chart I looked up online. It was […]

Getting a Refund When a Dentist Does It Wrong

I had a dental crown placed on a tooth. It was purely for cosmetic reasons. The tooth itself was healthy. A few weeks later it started hurting and was sensitive to hot and cold. I called the dentist and he said that was pretty normal for the first few weeks. I’d never had a crown […]

Problem with Pain and the Dentist Can’t Find Anything

Several years ago, I was in an accident that cause an exposed nerve in a tooth. I went in for an emergency root canal treatment. I was fine until a few weeks ago, when I started having terrible pain again to cold and hot. I waited a bit because of finances. By the time I […]
