2. Tooth fracture/broken tooth
3. An improper filling
4. Gum disease
the most common cause is a cavity or tooth decay, which usually requires a root canal treatment (rct). The same treatment applies to a tooth fracture as well. In case of a damaged filling, there may be two possibilities: either the filling can be removed and replaced with a new one after ...more

Hi Sir, I had tooth filling from 8 years. Suddenly there is a severe pain on this tooth. 1. No pain while chewing or tapping tooth. 2. But severe pain during drinking / eating hot / cold food. 3. Pain is there upto 20-30 mins after hot/cold drink/food. I had visited dentist. He checked 1st teeth 1. He checked teeth is ok and white. 2. He checked tooth feeling is also ok. 3. I informed about above severe pain and sensitivity. 4. He taped teeth but no pain there and after 3-4 days pain is gradually decreased compare to previously. 5. Then he checked with x-ray. He saw something in x-ray and told me that there is "sado"(" caries) below tooth feeling. He said he doesn't know how it reached there. He advised me for root canal. And prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. I asked home about 2nd time tooth re filling after cleaning caries. But he said it's not possible and root canal required. Nowy questions are 1. Is it possible to remove tooth filling and clean care and again do 2nd time tooth filling? 2. My pain is reduced. After taking antibiotics, will it resolve on its own? 3 how caries is present under feeling? 4. Should I do rct or wait?

Normally it takes 18 months to 3 year for braces for effective treatment. Aligners do make the teeth movement fast. But choice of braces and aligners depends on clinical diagnosis in your case. Because they all have different indication depending upon the alignment of teeth. So you should seek your near by dentist to know more about the pros and cons of braces .and which one is more suitable for u.

Its highly impossible to remove gutka stains from teeth. Kindly consult a dentist in person advise deep cleaning, polishing, whitening (bleaching) procedures, artificial enamel filling or capping. Advance procedures can be done with laser. Use snowdent tooth paste for whitening until then. Apply snowdent paste on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min. Then brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight for better results. You may consult me in person.
