using super glue to stick my bridge back gives me a trout pout

Thursday, July 24th, 2008
Q.
I had my three teeth at the front bridged, which was fine, but it only lasted for about a year, the spikes broke ,they are still in my gums now. i am using super glue gel to stick them back in, my dentist went back to his own country(Sweden)I saw another Dentist and was told i would have to pay £1175. to have another bride done, as i receive disability allowance this is impossible to find, or i can have a plate made free, this is something i am not keen on as a few years ago i was told by a dentist that he thinks i will be one of these people that will be unable to have false teeth, i don’t know why may be it is because i have a very small mouth (yes it is true i have honest)i really don’t know what to do other than keep on with the super glue, which gives me a trout pout as my lips and some time tongue swell up any way thank you

Thursday, July 24th, 2008
Q.
I am 14 years old and have a 9 adult teeth missing.Apart from the two front top teeth all my teeth are at a 90 degree rotation. We visited a restoritive dentist recently for advice. Who refered us to an orthodontist. Do you think we would have to pay for our restoritive work or implants if needed. If i had implant how long would they last? or What would you recomend implants of bridges?

i have had many fillings on my tooth would an implant be better

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Q.
Hi doctor, I have had a five year ongoing saga with one tooth (lower jaw third from back). I had a gold filing for over ten years untill it needed replacing. It was replaced with a white filing which sensitized the tooth. A root filing was done but some of the root was left in which resulted in numerous visits to dentist and dental hospital till discovered and removed. A white inlay was applied which was too high, when removed the tooth had fractured. All that is now left is the front wall of the tooth. A new white inlay was fitted , which has come out twice this year. I feel unable to eat normally on this side. I finally came to terms with having the tooth out but when I discussed this with my dentist he suggests just filing it! This has been a lenthly and expensive time. I am now considering my options and wondered about an implant as my other teeth are in good condition. I would very much appreciate an experts opinion.

where should the gum be cut for 6 implants

Friday, July 18th, 2008
Q.
Considering Implantsfor 6 front teeth.Have been given conflicting information regarding the placement if the incision in the gum. Is it better to have the scarring under the implants and bridges, or on the area above the teeth,(between teeth and nose)?Thought it may be uncomfortable to have bridges resting on scar tissue. Many thanks

is there a problem with teeth whitening at 20 to remove stains

Friday, July 18th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I am 20 years old and am considering getting my teeth whitened. Is there any problem with my age? I have been reading that it is generally older people that get it done to remove stains etc, but then you see celebrities getting it done that are my age! Is there any problem in getting it done or any concerns, as i would much rather go through my life with white teeth than getting it done later on!! Thanks
