What caused swelling in the gums?
16. October 2009
Filed in Mouth, Pain and Anaesthesia
Question:
I've got a crown on -6 and several times seen laterally a swelling in the gum and tried with penecillin and several times klorheksidin pasta but it comes back, it is very sore when I press on the swelling,what can it caused??
Brian
Answer:
Dear Brian,
It suggests that the tooth must rodbehandles. There is most likely an inflammation of the nerve at -6 or maybe one of the neighbouring teeth. That the tooth must rodbehandles, does not mean that you also need to have a new crown on it unless it is necessary. The dentist can rodbehandle through the crown.
Hope you can use my answer.

Is the oral mucosa good to reconstruct itself?
14. October 2009
Filed in Mouth
Question:
Hello!
I got rid of a mucosele for about 3 months ago. Since the dentist had suspected that there was still something of mucoselet back I had removed a little more 2 months later, which turned out to be scar tissue that lay back (was quite a few millimeters). Now it's a month ago and it has healed fine but is a notch down in the upper layers of the skin which gives a wrinkle all the way on the outside of the lip. I am of course very sorry.
Therefore, I would ask if it ever loosens up or “grow up” so that the checkmark/rynken disappear? is the oral mucosa usually good to “reconstruct” themselves?
Many thanks for your help!
greetings Anne
Answer:
Dear Anne,
Usually is the oral mucosa good to reconstruct itself, but when there is talk about scar tissue, so this suggests that it will not do it. I think that if you have the genes by this, then you should speak with your dentist. Find out whether he/she can help you or will refer you to a specialist.
Hope you can use my answer.

Complaint about teeth whitening
8. October 2009
Filed in Complaints, Cosmetic dentistry
Question:
Hello
I have a couple of days ago got my top 6 front teeth bleached at my dentist. My one incisor is a slightly darker than the other, when it in order to use my dentist's words, is “the sand” after a blow from mælketanden blurted out when I was about. 3 years old. During the whitening was the first for themselves, with a product which was smeared on in 1 – 1½ mm layer thickness and then it should be stirred around with a kind of spatula (made dentist) in 10 min, then got all 6 front teeth the place in 10 min. Right after the treatment I could see a bit of difference, but already after 4 -5 hours, I think that I was back at the starting point, and could/can be no difference, see. My dentist has not yet received payment, then she would switch plastic fillings. But it is not necessary to get switched plastic fillings when I can't see farveforskellen longer. My question is whether it can be right that I need to pay a few thousand kr for no difference or whether I can complaint or the like?
Vh Mette
Answer:
Dear Mette,
I think you should talk with your dentist about what you think. It is hard for me to comment on such a specific question, when I do not know how the starting point was and how it looks today. I do not believe that you will get something out of that complaint, as your dentist immediately not have made a wrong treatment.
Even if you complain about the treatment, you should be aware that you do not let to pay the bill. So immediately I would suggest that you find a solution together with your dentist.

Pain in the jaw once in a while
8. October 2009
Filed in Jaws and Joints, Pain and Anaesthesia
Question:
Hello Dentistry,
Since my last visits to the dentist, I have had pain in my jaw once in a while. It was the worst right after my last visits to the dentist. So I had not so big problems in 2-3 months. But now it starts to get worse again. It varies how long that go from. It might take 1 day or 3 weeks, sometimes I have pain in the jaw. It usually goes away again after 1 days. It is the most in the right side.
If I should have done something about it, should I go to my dentist or my general practitioner doctor?
With kind regards
Jane

There is no guarantee for bad workmanship?
2. October 2009
Filed in Complaints
Question:
Hi,
I have a question regarding a broken tooth due. a root canal treatment. Now I can see in one of your replies that there is no guarantee for root canal treatment??
I got in the month of march made a root canal, and it looked fine, said the dentist, but now there broken a piece of the tooth and the treatment is also broken, as I can shake with the other side of the tooth. This must be bad craft, and must be able to be covered by a warranty??
I look forward to hearing from you.
Laurids
Answer:
Dear Henry Wadsworth,
First I will say that your tooth is not necessarily broken just because it has been rodbehandlet. There are several reasons why a tooth gets rodbehandlet, and often there is not much left of a tooth when there is rodbehandlet. It sounds as if your tooth is broken, and it is something that can happen. When the dentist looks at the quality of a root canal, he will look at the rodfyldningen, ie. he replaces tandnerven with, it's close. And that is what he mean by that it looks fine. To the tooth ruptures has not necessarily something with poor craft to make, but is a quite common complication, which in some cases can happen.
You are not covered by any form of warranty at the dentist. But think that has been a model of a Danish dentist, have the opportunity to complain about the treatment. You can read more about how to complain about a dentist here.
You can also apply for compensation from the Tandlægeforeningens Patientforsikring. You can read more about compensation for malpractice here.
Hope you can use my answer.

Funding rules by moving from municipal to private dentist
25. september 2009
Filed in Tandplejetilbud, Grants and the Economy
Question:
I have long considered moving our children (11+13 years) to a private dentist, because I think that goes too long between visits (over 1 year) and if a problem occurs, it is almost impossible to get a time 🙁
Now skoletandplejen made a new structure, so that the children are only going to study every 15-16 months. I think it is very important that the teeth be examined, especially now where they are almost only brushes even.
How is the funding rules by moving to a private dentist ?
Mvt.A concerned mother
Answer:
Dear concerned mother
For children and young people under 16 have a free choice to private dentist with a self-payment of 35 %, it will say that the municipality provides subsidies of 65 %. For children and young people of 16 and 17 years old have a free choice of dental care without any co-payment and reimbursement. There must always be an agreement with the municipality within the switch. Contact the municipal dental care in your municipality.

Complications after root canal treatment. Who pays?
7. september 2009
Filed in Complaints
Question:
I have made a root canal in my tooth, and when this began to crumble, I made a crown instead (in the month of February 2009). Now I have got an infection in the same tooth, which has developed into a large tooth abscess. It has been incredibly painful and has been on the pencilinkur and pain. I have today (d. 7/9-09) has been at the dentist and get told that it is a gum disease. I have now examined Netdoktor, what this is because and that is that the cause of gum disease is to continue hiding dead tissue and thus the bacteria in the rodkanalens nooks. It will then say that the dentist in the dawn of time has not made my root canal well enough. Can it be right that I should pay for a tandrodsbehandling, or closer to the operation??? It is when those who have not done their crafts well enough, which caused my problem today. There must be a form of guarantee. Hope you can answer my question. With friendly greetings f
ra a frustrated Sisse...
Answer:
Dear Sisse,
There is usually no warranty on dental treatment. Your dentist has probably made his job properly, but there are limits to where we can reach with our instruments. There is one more main canals in the roots according to the tandtype we are talking about. And there are also these small bikanaler where we can't reach with rodfilen. Some times it is so unfortunate that there will be infection in them. The only way to reach them is via this small rodoperation.
Hope you can use my answer.

Dear Else,
If you f.ex. grinds his teeth at night, tooth is loaded and feels sore to chew on. That does not suggest inflammation if it does not display anything on x-ray and the nerve is in order. It is not necessary to complement the study with the scanning.
