Hi Meera,
Okay so tooth #29 was extracted within the last month. That's why the jaw bone appeared to be wide open on the panoramic xray. I am still a little concerned that the ligament is still intact in that site. But time will tell as the site heals. Regarding the placement of the dental implants.... Tooth #29 site needs to heal more first. Two months is not really ample time. If you can wait 4, closer to 6 months that would be better. Prior to the oral surgery to place the implants, your dentist or oral surgeon will use a 3D scan and computer to create what is called a Computer Generated Surgical Guide. This guide acts as a template for the surgeon to know the proper preparation of the bone and placement of the implants before he starts the surgery. This is in of itself is NOT a surgical procedure. Here's a link to the imaging and fabrication of those guides to help give you a visual of what it is... http://www.oralsurgeryny.com/files/2.../sroms1-10.pdf. Regarding tooth #4 ... It is very possible that this tooth has been overly traumatized. It has a large filling ... it's been inflamed due to the fit of the Carlson bridge ... it is not lined up that great with a lower tooth... etc. It is possible that the nerve is inflamed and the prognosis could go either way. If it were me, I would avoid chewing on that tooth and eat a soft nutritious diet for about 2 weeks to really give it and my jaw a rest. Then see how it feels at that point. If it is not getting worse but rather improving ... but not completely better, I would continue for another 2 more weeks. I would also supplement with nerve regenerating vitamins like B complex, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C. I would add these natural anti inflammatory herbs to my diet ... ginger and turmeric. I would also consult with a homeopathy practitioner to get some guidance on what homeopathic remedies would be appropriate for my individual body type, etc. I agree not to root canal tooth #4 .... but be sure that it needs to be extracted before you do that. Consider the recommendations that I have offered you ... feel free to discuss them with me further if you want to. Bryanna Quote:

Hi I'm not sure how to send a direct message but I'm wondering what happened in the end with the tooth that always felt irritated? I also recently (5 weeks ago) had a really deep filling on a tooth around that area and have been feeling the same sensitivity and gum discomfort and was wondering how it turned out... My dentist suggested that if I could tolerate it - I just wait it out as they dont (3 dentists) see any problem with it on xray. They also suggested I could take out the filling and put in a medicated one and then redo the filling after 1 month..... I'm not sure what to do |
