    Hi everyone,

    I'm going to ring my dentist tomorrow, but got a temp crown put in today and there are little patches of the sealant on the tooth and gum beside it which is coming loose, is that to be expected?

    It's just the temporary cement, nothing to worry about.

    Sorry for asking another question, but I got my permanent crowns/bridge today.

    It's on the top three teeth behind my incisor, the tooth behind it was root canalled, the one beside it was extracted and then the third was also root canalled, so for a time there was a gap there.

    The fitting went fine and I'm happy with it but my mouth feels like it's been invaded, and especially the incisor in front of the crowns/bridge feels like it's being pushed against.

    Is this just a "your new teeth are settling in" that will feel normal in a week or so?

    Teeth/jaw bone have nerves in them which tell your brain when you are biting on something hard and when your teeth are in contact, your brain then stops you from biting harder and damaging those teeth. When you have a tooth extracted, the adjacent and opposing teeth lose the sensation of contacting that tooth which is now missing. Then when a bridge is place in position, the adjacent/opposing teeth have a solid "tooth" pressing on them again, suddenly the sensory nerves are stimulated by this pressure and it feels like the bridge is pressing too hard. Don't be at all concerned, in a day or two you will get used to having a tooth there again, that pressing sensation will go, it will feel normal again.

    Thanks, your explanation makes perfect sense. I'm delighted with the work to be honest, didn't think I'd ever get anything as nice as what is there now in place, have a lot to thank my dentist for, he spent a lot of time making sure he got the best result that he could, including desiging the crown/bridge in such a way as to bring out the tooth beside the incisor out a bit as it was a bit behind if that makes sense, so that is extra pressure.

    After a few years of not taking care of my teeth, I'm chuffed to be getting to a point where I have a bit of a plan to get them back to good health, and seeing such good results so soon is incredible for me :) But I tend to worry :)
