Q.
My mouth is causing me to feel miserable! My teeth, at the top, used to completely striaght, but now, they are moving. One front tooth has gone slightly behind the other and one incissor is pushing forward and the othe going backwards. I also have gum recession and I’m only in my thirties. My bite is annoying me and my dentist days my jaw is inflamed. I have a mouth guard for night time, which leaves my bottom teeth feeking fragile in the morning -can’t bite on them for a while. How can I stop the gum recssion -is this why my teetj move? What can I do -please bear in mind I’m not loaded and get no benefits. Thanks.

Hi, I have white fillings in my front 4 teeth- (top) and they have started to dis-colour and made me really concious about my smile- Its like people always comment and say it looks like i got stuff stuck in my teeth. Is there anything I can do to make them white again. Also- if I was to have my teeth whitened would my fillings go as white as my teeth at the front?

Q.
I have tilted molar lower right due to missing adjacent tooth A dentist suggested a bone graft before inserting a crown on tilted tooth. i also have occlusion problems on left side due to heavy filling and am thinking an onlay would improve my bite. What is your opinion? Have had bad experiences in past hence dental problems now and I am very wary of dental tx,

Q.
I had my four top front teeth crowned 20 years ago. Crowns have lasted well but don’t look so good now. Is it possible to have them replaced? Have crowning techniques/materials improved much over the last 20 year or would I just be replacing like with like? Many thanks for your reply.

Q.
I am 69yrs old and in good health. I have had to have two root anals done on my #15 molar. There is still an infection at the root area. My endodontist feel that the root is short and the crown is small since it has been capped. The endodontist thinks I should just remove the tooth and not bother with an implant since the jaw in that area has very little bone to set in an implant. My regular dentist removed the cap before I saw the endodontist, leaving only a small tooth crown. I have had three other implants that have worked very successfully. Two of the implants have been in for fourteen years.

Q.
I have protuding front teeth (rabbit teeth). I have investigated braces etc but have been advised that the problem is that I have a short top lip (the distance between my nose and mouth). Is there anything that can be done please?

Q.
I have had a pretty serious tooth grinding problem for some years now which is starting to affect the size of my teeth – I am noticing that some of them are shortening and the backs of them are very worn down and also they don’t seem to fit together properly anymore. Also I have the usual headaches and pain in my facial muscles which are also often swollen. I have had treatment for grinding for quite a few years and I have a mouthguard tanner appliance but I am concerned that my teeth may start to disintegrate. Is the best thing to thing about veneers now or is there any other form of mouthguard which stops the teeth actually touching? Is there any proven method for minimising bruxism? Any advice gratefully received… Many thanks
