Q. I currently have two teeth which by dentist said will benefit from being crowned. However he said that if I have these crowns on the NHS, they will have to be done in metal and will be seen as metal in my mouth, rather than porcelin and that to have a porcelin crown I will have to pay privately. I have tried looking for this information on the NHS website, under the band 3 information, however nothing is stated. Could you give me any information regarding this please.
A. In theory this is correct as porcelain crowns at the back of the mouth are not covered by the NHS

Q. I have just had a new crown put on my upper left molar and when I try to bite it hits the teeth below and can’t close my teeth together properly. I told my dentist and he then filed down the crown and also down the opposing tooth on the jaw below but I still can not close my teeth together. My dentist said not to think about it and it will be alright. Because I can’t eat properly at the moment, do I wait and see what happens or do I go back and see my dentist again?
A. Give it a few days as the teeth often settle. If it doesn’t, pop back for another adjustment.

Q. i am undergoing treatment with my dentist as i have a rare case of gum disease which is a big concern. The extent of it i was told would be what you would expect to see in someone 25 yrs or more older than myself. i also have a problem with the appearance of my teeth as the bite don’t come together. I am very self conscious about the appearance of my teeth and am desperate for a solution. my dentist has reccomended veneers but am weary of having that done because of the cost of the procedure and due to the severity of the gum disorder, ie would they last as long as expected given circumstances. I was wondering if an option would be to have problem teeth removed and bridged across?? Please help!!!!!
A. If the teeth are very bad then removal is an option, however it sounds like your gums should be treated first before considering any treatment to improve the appearance of the teeth.

Q. I went for a six monthly check up and the dentist took two x-rays as well, I did not ask as to why he was doing this but for what reasons would they be taken?
A. x-rays are a vital part of an examination enabling the dentist to check for decay under fillings as well as the position of the bone that supports the teeth.

Q. What is the material that is used for grafting? How long do I have to wait with the titaniume inplanted before the dentist know that it is fused well with the jow and the graftinf material? How does he know that it is ready and safe for the final procedure? Thank you very much in advance.
A. Hello, It is possible to use either your own bone taken from another site in the mouth or the biomaterial of your surgeons choice. He will be able to tell using x-rays and clinical experience when it is the right time to place the titanium implant

Q. I have a bridge which when fitted was the same colour as my other teeth a sort of yellowish colour. I feel so depressed by this as i cannot smile anymore as i feel embarrassed. Also my bridge seems to have slighty moved against my other teeth making my smile looked a bit crooked. I am really feeling down as i am umemployed and when i go for job interviews or speak to people i never smile and i look miserable. I want to be able to smile and laugh and be jolly but i can’t. What free help can i get. Thank you
A. I recommend that you go back to the dentist that fitted the bridge to see what he suggests.

Q. Hey, I have a gap in my two front teeth at the top. && it makes me really self conscious. I am from Liverpool, UK && I want to know how much it would be and what i would have to do to get it fixed. I had a brace but it just went back to the way it was originally. Thanks
A. You could opt for a treatment called bonding. This is very non-invasive and is a fraction of the price of veneers. Not every case is suitable though as it depends on the size of your teeth and the gap.
I recommend you book in wioth a cosmetic dentsit to explore your options.

Q. Hi, am a clinical pathologist from Egypt .A root canal ttt was done for my upper right premolar tooth.Gutta percha is already in..I asked my dotor to finish rapidly as I am busy,,The whole work on my tooth was done in 4 days.(2 days ago)..He took impression &told me to come for a try in within 4 days..I am now in a severe agonizing intolerable pain.I took Kataflem50 every 6 hrs,Alphintern every 12 hrs & Flagyl with no improvement of pain.PLEASE,tell me what to take & do not tell me to visit him again as he told me it will relieve in a few days & I cannot tolerate..PLEASE HELP ME..thank you.. yours
A. Hi Sometimes it is best to wait a while before finishing a root canal treatment as infection can be trapped under the root filling causing severe discomfort. You may need either the tooth or rot filling removed as soon as possible.

Q. Hi, Im a junior in college and i am looking forward to a great year. Im in business school and i am looking forward to having a great career in marketing. Unfortunately my smile is not the best. After years of neglect from low self esteem and no sense of self worth i didnt treat my smile well at all. Now that i am taking better care of my teeth i often feel that it will always look the same. I am unable to afford lunineers and veneers. Is there a way i could still get them.
A. Unfortunately cosmetic dentistry is only avaible privately. The only way you may be able to get a substancial discount would be to approach dentists that are learning and are looking for case studys. I recommend you contat the dental universities and they will be able to advise you further.

Q. After a severe fall I lost 2 dental crowns on the left lower side of my mouth. My dentist has informed me that my roots will not support post crowns and that I will have to have a saddle denture. I am deeply unhappy about this. Is there an alternative -and what could be the problem with my roots?
A. If the roots are infected, mobile or cracked then they won’t hold a crown. You could consider removing the teeth and using dental implants to hold new teeth in the area. This maybe more comfortable than a denture.

Q. I had a small 1mm gap in my upper two front teeth filled with composite bonding a year ago. The results are great, and it looks really natural. However, I have recently decided to investigate braces as I have come to the conclusion that i would like to straighten my teeth. With this in mind, i would like my dentist to remove the composite bonding, so that a brace can be used to close the gap permanently. First, can composite bonding be removed easily? My dentist did the filling so well, it seems impossible to tell which is tooth and which is bonding? So, is it possible to remove it? And will the underlying tooth look normal? Also, when the filling was done, the bonding was polished and i can see a less shiny surface on some of the surface of my teeth. I will ask the dentist to polish this after the gap is revealed again, but If some bonding remains, does this effect how well fixed brace brackets would stay on? Also, when the brackets are removed at the end of treatment, would the bonding have stained, is this permanent, or would polising after the brackets are removed get rid of it? Thank you for your time.
A. hi
it should be quite easy to remove the composite filling without any underlying teeth being damaged with no effect on bonding in future and no compromise to your bracework.

Q. Dr Rob Tennet I had a large gap inbetween my top two front teeth which I had braces fitted on the NHS. This tretment continued for about 10 months then I wore a “night retainer” for a while yet I cannot remember the length but I went through 2 diffrent ones as they had “worn out”. Yet since being told I no longer needed to wear it my front gap has returned although it has remained smaller than before due to a fretescamy operation(removal of large muscle above front incisors). I now the gap is still fairly large with about 3mm diameter. Will I be able to return to the orthodontist without needing to pay for the teeth to be corrected as my family will struggle to afford them? Any advice or information will be gladly appreciated. Many thanks (Curretly 15 going on 16 years old)
A. if you are under 18 NHS treatment is free IF you need it. so the orthodontist will need to assess you. If you do get retreated continue with retainers for life. sometimes after a few years a weekly nighttime wear to confirm no change in fit (therefore tooth position ) is ok. but if you get a 1mm gap opening you know its going wrong.

Q. I have a small triangular gap between my to front teeth and I think it looks very unattractive. What could a dentist do to fill the small hole? I have read articles on the internet about bondings and fillings but I don’t really know what they are. Also if the gap was to be filled, would the use of a needle or braces be needed? Thanks in Advance.
A. hi
if the triangular gap is because of the gum position this can be tricky to fix, if it is related to the shape of the teeth bonding could improve it.it is usually possible to do bonding without local anaesthetic

Q. Hi i have really bad stained teeth and i was wondering what could i do to make them white…….i was looking at those veneers things and i would like to know what the cost of them are and how long do they stay on?
A. There are a few options for stained teeth. The first and least invasive would be to clean and whiten the teeth. Some people do not get the extend of whitness they require with teeth whitening, if this was the case then veneers would be an option. Although you should be aware that veneers are irreversable.
Veneers vary on price and quality. At my clinic they start at £895 per tooth. Veneers last 10-15 years as long as they are looked after.

Q. Hi, I am really interested in having Lumineers, I wonder if you could give me any advice. I live in Barnsley South Yorkshire. Please could you tell me the nearest dentist that does these. Many Thanks
A. HI
With Lumineers the teeth are barely touched and as such the finished lumineers can have a tendency to look a little bulky.
Cases which look good with lumineers are those with gaps between the teeth, and teeth that are slightly set back and require building out.
If this does not apply to you then I would consider veneers
It is important to realise that both lumineers and veneers are irreversible and cannot be simply removed so it is crucial to make the correct choice – I would advise seeing a wax preview of your final result before proceeding.
I am not familiar with any clinics close to Barnsley but we have many people travel to Umbrella so if you have no look locating a suitable dentist you are confident in you can contact our clinic on 02076129810

Q. Not only do I suffer from typical tTMJ symptoms but I also have left flank pain,pressure under left rib,tingling in my left shoulder and along arm to fingers, pain just above my left knee at front, a feeling like a tight band around my upper left calf and pain in left achilles. In fact the whole of my left side feels tight. My right side is fine. Doctor says nothing wrong with me and all in my mind. I also have a tight throat and difficulty swallowing. Thanks
A. I certainly do not think it is in your mind as these symptoms are common with TMJ sufferers – many simply do not make the connection between these symptoms and TMJ.
The jaw relationship has a complex interrelationship with the C1/C2 vertebtrae and as such when the teeth bit in an improper alignment this whole balance is affected.
The results can be pain and asymmetries in posture and alignment eg. resulting in head tilt, raised shoulder, pelvic tilt and knee pain.
A study by Bergamini et al proved that if the bite is correctly aligned then EMG recordings recorded relaxation in the soleus muscles of the calf – sounds familiar.
I would advise you to have EMG recordings of your jaw and neck muscles to detect any imbalances which I am suree you will have.
