Question 1

i've a molar requiring crowning. dentist couldn't remove all cavity as it hurts bad. 3 mths observation before crowning. will cavity worsen?

Accepted Answer

Eventually, yes: If the carious lesion is that deep, then the tooth may require root canal therapy first. Better to treat the problem before the crown is placed.

Question 2

how effective is a crown for treating a cavity?

Accepted Answer

That depends: That depends on the size of the cavity. Crowns are a very effective way to treat large cavities where a lot of the tooth is missing because they cover over and protect the remaining natural tooth structure. Small to medium sized cavities do not require crowns.

Question 3

want to know do we normally get cavities in the hole where the crown is going?

Accepted Answer

HMMM: Not sure i understand the question however if the crown fits well and you brush and floss it can be there for decades. A crown protects a weakened tooth but does not make it impervious to decay.

Question 4

what are the symptoms of teeth cavities?

Accepted Answer

Depends of Severity: Cavities are holes in your teeth caused by a disease called "dental caries".  The disease is caused by bacteria.  In early stages you may be totally unaware of the condition.  In later stages when the bacteria are encroaching on the "pulp" you may begin to feel thermal sensitivity.  As the condition progresses chewing sensitivity may set in.  If the condition gets worse pain + swelling may develop.

Question 5

what are  symptoms for cancer of the nasal cavity?

Accepted Answer

One sided symptoms.: These are usually one-sided, and include epistaxis, or bloody dischrge from nose, serous otitis media, or fluid in the middle ear, and nasal obstruction.  These occur late in the course of these cancers.

Question 6

pain in gums where crown is placed? is that cavity or gingivitis?

Accepted Answer

It is possible: A little more history about the onset and type of pain you are experiencing is necessary. If the crown has been in place for a long period of time, you could have recurrent decay in the tooth.  You could also have a periodontal or gum problem.  If the crown is a new crown, it could be related to irritation from the seating of the crown, possibly some residual cement , or your occlusion or bite.

Question 7

can any dentist explain if we normally get cavities in the hole where the crown is going?

Accepted Answer

No you don't: Crowns should completely seal any areas of the tooth have been removed prior to crown placement. The edges of the crown should be smooth and flush with the tooth surface at the margins. Once a crown is placed, it is not likely to get a cavity where it seals the tooth. 
There will be parts of the tooth that the crown doesn't cover. Those can decay, just like any tooth surface - not related to crown

Question 8

i have to replace a crown and get a filling for a cavity. which one should i get done first?

Accepted Answer

Both: The extent of the problem in each will determine which one is more important to do. Your own dentist can answer that question better than we can never having seen either tooth nor x-rays of them. If money is an issue consider at least having the crown removed to evaluate the tooth, and then temporized with a good fitting strong temporary crown.

Question 9

can dentist see on x-rays crowned tooth get cavity?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: If the decay is blocked by the crown, however, it will not be visible.  There are other diagnostic tests available, including removing the crown, inspecting the tooth, and replacing the crown if everything is OK.  If yu think you have a problem, do not delay.  See your Dentist immediately before a small problem gets out of hand.

Question 10

9mm polyp in uterine cavity. no symptoms.removal necessary for future pregnancy?

Accepted Answer
