Dental - July 2006

I went to the dentist two days ago, so he can replace the temporary cap with a permanent one. After putting it in place, he asked me to bite as hard as possible. I did, and the crown denture cracked?

My question is:
Is this an indication that the material is poor? She said that she will send it back to be repaired? She claims that the repaired is going to be as good as the original.
I have difficulty believing this. Are my doubts justified?

I went to the doctor the other day. He gave me the "finger" test. (You guys know what i'm talking about) He said everything seems fine up there. But I don't know if I should trust him. Should I get a second opinion?

and I want this tooth out. OUT. There are no NHS dental places anywhere near me and finances are tighter than a very tight thing on national tight day. Please PLEASE don't say 'oh go to a dentist you silly thing' because I'm in a remote rural location... so, you diy enthusiasts... gimme some options. My last consultation many moons ago said to get some root canal work done on it - that's not an option... this tooth has been the bain of my life for the last 5 years.

Ok. I just need an opinion on this from dentists.

I brush my teeth every morning and every night. However, every night I have a glass of hot chocolate literally just before going to sleep (I drink it and then my head's straight on the pillow). Can't sleep without it. Non-negotiable.

I always brush my teeth BEFORE having the hot chocolate.

A friend of a friend (who is a dentist) told me that that wasn't helpful because I was left with sweet stuff on my teeth all night long when my salivary amylase production was at it's lowest...

However, my own dentist (a few years ago actually - I don't go very often) told me that my history of brushing my teeth immediately after consuming sweet foods was the cause of my sensitive teeth.

I'm not prepared to drink my hot chocolate and then stay up for an hour or two to brush my teeth.

So... in the opinion of the dentists in the house which is the better option: Brushing immediately before drinking hot chocolate, or immediately after?

I just had a root canal and am in lots of pain. The dentist didn't give me anything. I've been taking lots of ibuprofen, but can I take too much? I can't get to the dentist for a few days.
