One of my top left molars keeps cutting my tongue. It feels sharp and pointy. What will happen to the tooth if I go to the dentist? Thx. Sienna

Sienna – A dentist will examine your tooth. The sharp part of the tooth that is cutting your tongue will be gently shaved, shaped, and polished.

The procedure is called tooth reshaping or contouring. It is completed in a few minutes. You will feel a slight vibration while the pointed part of your tooth is reduced, but the process is painless.

I’ve only had my dentures for less than a year and in that time 3 of the teeth have fallen out. One of the same 3 teeth just fell out again yesterday. This is very frustrating. My dentist keeps “fixing” them but I know the teeth should never fall out. Why is this happening? Todd

Todd – Denture teeth fall out when the dentures are poorly made. When denture teeth are securely bonded to the base, they won’t fall out.

A dentist who is experienced with dentures can examine yours and determine why the teeth keep falling out. He or she will let you know the quality of your dentures and what you can expect from them for the future. You may want to get a second opinion from another dentist.

Unfortunately, you probably need a new set of dentures. If that’s the case, we recommend that you find a dentist who can provide you with a quality base and high-quality denture teeth. You may have to pay a little more for your new dentures, but it will help you avoid the kind of problems that you are experiencing with your current ones.
