Question 1

after root canal on canine tooth #11, iam curious to know what are the symptoms/how it feels if the drill touches or drills into the sinus cavity floor?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You might not have any symptoms. That being said a sinus infection , pain in the tooth root tip area and sinus pain  are some of the symptoms you could have. You might want to go back to the dentist and have a radiograph taken of the area usually its unlikely a canine tooth will result in a sinus perfortion.

Question 2

i have a canine tooth that is sensitive to cold & gums inflammed. no cavity, but premolar/molar were  infected could that of caused damage to canine?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Inflamed gingiva = inflamed bone and surrounding tissue. Any recession or calculus present? That would contribute to your sensitivity. Have your dentist take a look. Your bite may also be off, or you might be grinding your teeth.

Question 3

my 4 year old daughter has a cavity in the upper canine, the dentist has advised to to an rct for the tooth, since she believes that the nerve has been damaged. she also said we could do a tooth removal, but that would leave a space, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Follow your dentist's advice and have root canal therapy performed. That tooth usually exfoliates around 11 years old and is needed to maintain  the spacing of the adjacent teeth to allow for proper secondary tooth eruption. Premature loss can lead to the need for future orthodontic care. Moving forward have her teeth checked and cleaned every six months.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

CONTOUR: A dentist can contour the tooth so that it appears normal to other teeth.No pain but big gain.

Question 5

why does canine tooth hurt when contacting with salt?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There can be many reasons for this. You could have a cavity, or you could have surface erosion or enamel thinning that can render these teeth sensitive to various stimuli.

Question 6

hello doctors, what does an impacted canine tooth look/feel like?

Accepted Answer

Not much: An impacted canine is a tooth that does not erupt into the mouth. It is up in the bone. In most situations, you won't know you have one  unless you have an x-ray taken. In most situations, the baby canine does not fall out. The only way to get the impacted tooth in is to see an orthodontist for orthodontic treatment and an oral surgeon for exposure of the tooth.

Question 7

docs can you explain, is my impacted canine tooth ever going to errupt?

Accepted Answer

Dental exam: See a dentist to find the answer to your question.  The answer can only be determined with an exam and x-rays.

Question 8

a flap will be made in the palate to remove tissue for my canine tooth. vertical cuts will be 5mm and one horizontal 1 cm. cut. is this a large area?

Accepted Answer

Impacted canine: Sounds like you're having an impacted upper canine tooth exposed for orthodontic treatment. If that's correct, the flap could be even larger than you describe. However, it will feel to your tongue like a large hole. If you're concerned, speak to your oral surgeon abou the size of the flap. Your description certainly does not sound too large. Good luck!

Question 9

shocking pain at tip of my canine tooth?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: Could be due to a cavity.  Get it checked out by a dentist.

Question 10

how can i pull out an upper canine tooth?

Accepted Answer

Phone call: The canine teeth are some of the longest in your mouth. A dentist has the experience and instruments to do it correctly. If you try it and fail (which you most likely will), you will be in worse shape than you started and you will still need to see a dentist. Make the call for an appointment.
