My daughter had 8 veneers last year, she recently went to her dentist who told her she needs 5 fillings one behind a veneer, could this have happened in 12 months?

Q.

My daughter had extensive work done on her teeth last year. She had around 8 veneers to build up and improve her smile. Her front tooth is dead (she was hit in the face by a football 10 years ago) and used to look grey so this was also fixed We were recommended this dentist by a friend and he has a good reputation. She has recently moved to London and has been having tooth ache. She has just returned from a dentist there having been told she needs 5 fillings, one of which is behind a veneer and that it looks like she has not been to the dentist for years. The dentist showed her xrays of where the fillings are needed. Surely her teeth could not have decayed that badly in 12 months? What should she do?

I had a tooth extracted yesterday due to horrendous stabbing pains but no damage or decay, my other teeth feel squidgy so I am wondering if my other teeth are infected?

Hi, I have just had a tooth extracted yesterday and I am now wondering if my other teeth are also affected. I have what feels like squidgy teeth and this is still there now the affected tooth has been removed.

Suffered from 26th Nov 2011 with the tooth horrendous stabbing pain yet no known cause. No obvious damage or decay. Tooth felt loose and with pressure the pain was often very acute. This settled a little however then an abcess occurred leading to removal of the tooth. 2 of the 3 roots had rotted away. However now the next but one tooth to it still doesn’t feel right and I am terrified the problem is occurring in these other teeth now too.
