in 22 years i have had 32 fillings

Friday, February 27th, 2009
Q.
Hello I am 22 years old. My problem is that in those 22years I have had 32 fillings. I went to the dentist today and ave been told I need another 7! I had 6 baby teeth out when I was about 6-I had 6 fillings in my baby teeth- I have had 5 different types of braces. My teeth look ok but they are like chalk! My problem is it cost so much money for these white fillings I am having but I would never have a silver one as alot of my fillings are on the fronts of my teeth- My dentist has said long term I am looking at a mouth full of crowns. My question is shall I continue to pay for these fillings or start having my teeth crowned?? I have been told I have very good gums and I have great dental hygiene. My dentist has said I have some sort of desease in my teeth were the holes grow from the inside of my teeth- I have to be x rayed every time I go to the dentist. Thank you

Friday, February 27th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Solanki, My partner and I are really interested in getting our teeth whitened. It has got to the stage where we are both embarrassed to smile because of the state of our teeth.

front tooth overlaps another tooth

Thursday, February 26th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, My brother in law has a tooth on the right hand side of his mouth at the front which overlaps another. He has been told by his Dentist that he can not have the extra tooth removed as the roots are too deep into the gum. Is this definately the case, or is there any chance it could be safely removed. I look forward to your reply

I have a very loose molar

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
Q.
I have had 3 implants and expect to need more. In the meantime, I have a very loose molar, which although causes no pain appears to be infected (sinuses have awful putrid smell and discharge…treating with cipro) if infection clears can I wait for tooth to fall out naturally (held on by just 1 root at this point) rather than pay for extraction…would prefer to save cash for big bucks of implants…how long will it take? also, weird question …can I choke on it should it fall out in my sleep?

If the tooth is infected it is… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
