Q. I had a front fang removed and replaced because I chipped it about 8 years ago (I was given terrible advice) and now my gums have shrunk and you can see the metal inside my implant – what can I ask my dentist to do to make an improve (I can not afford a full porcelain implant) PLEASE HELP I HAVE STOPPED SMILING!
A. You can ask your dentist to make you a new metal crown but ask that the margin of the crown the bit near the gum is placed under the gum, this will hide the metal.

Q. hiya im looking for some advice i went to the dentist a few weeks back as my crown had fallen out the dentist that put it back in again didnt bother to clean my mouth or the crown so ten days later i swallowed it went to a different dentist and she said i couldnt get another crown fitted as i had an infection but she hasnt given me any antibotics also she wants me to get a false tooth fitted will this be sore getting the root out and how will she be able to fit it on i have to go back on friday and im scared
A. I guess the false tooth will be fitted on a plate when the tooth is removed, this might act as a good temporary replacement until you decide whther to use a more permanet solution such as a bridge or implant.
The root normally comes out fairly easily and with a good local anaesthetic you shouldn’t feel any pain.

Q. I had an implant done in Nov.21 of last year and was told it would take a few weeks for healing and they would put my tooth on. They put a temporary tooth on and it broke two months later. It is now over six months later and I’m still having to wear a temporary tooth. It breaks about once a week and I have to go back for a replacement.I have been in the dentist more than I care to discuss just getting a temporary tooth repaired or replaced. How long should it usually take from start to finish to get an implant. HOW MANY MONTHS? I feel my dentist is doing something wrong and it shouldn’t have taken this long for me to get mine done. Thank you
A. I normally wait 3 months before making the final tooth. perhaps you should ask your dentist to organise this now as it is over 6 months already

Q. About 2 years ago i had root canal treatment on a cracked tooth and the tooth was then filed down and a crown put over it. Everything has been fine up until now but now when i try to chew on it i hurts very much and the pain takes a while to go away. Im just wondering what has occured to suddenly have brought on this pain.
A. hi
you may have developed a crack in the root or the root canal may have started to fail due to bacterial proliferation around the root

Q. I really want to get my teeth whitened, my dentist does it for £270, which after looking around is quite a reasonable price but i am on Income Support and it would take me a long time to save up. Does the price drop at all for people on benefits? I am thinking it doesn’t as it’s cosmetic but am holding onto hope that i can get it done sooner rather than later haha, thank u
A. I’m sorry but you won’t get this treatment on the NHs, and it is a very good price.

Q. Hello Dr Moore, I am very unhappy and don’t like laughing or smiling due to the gap in between my two front teeth. The right front tooth is slightly pushed more forward than the other due to sucking my thumb when I was younger. Is there anything that I could have to straightener my teeth and fill in the gap? I didn’t want braces but was thinking about Veneers. Would this be possible? Thanks for your reply.
A. Hello
Yes it is possible to straighten teeth with veneers although only if they are only mildly crowded. You might also consider invisable brace such as Invisalign, Inman Aligner or lingual braces

Q. I have had metal braces on my top teeth for 8 months. I am scheduled to get braces on the bottom teeth. My orthodontist said that I have approximately 10 months remaining in treatment. I didn’t get Invisalign originally because my ortho said that since Invisaligns are only sold in pairs (top & bottom) it wouldn’t be worth it to me. How much would Invisalign cost now?
A. Probably the same cost as before you started, ask your Orthodontist for a proper quote.

Q. Hi. I am currently residing in cairo and i plan to be here for the next seven months. Till january 2010. I was looking into getting orthodentic treatment done on my teeth. You see, when i was 16, i had braces for 7months, but the dental nurse didnt ake teeth out and so i was left with teeth sticking out at an awkward angle in the front. After that, my teeth kept moving and they went back to normal. I visited an orthodentist here in Cairo and he said that he could start treatment, but it would take 18months or so, and im also past my 6months in pregnancy right now. The dentist here said that he could start treatment and send with me a referral letter for when i return to englang. I was wondering what advice you could give me about this, and if that is possible. Also, what kind of costs am i looking at? Thank you for your time.
A. I think you need to find someone who can do your treatment quite quickly either with an Inman Aligner or 6-month smile braces. Find out where you’re going to be living then ask you Orthodontist to give you a referral letter. I guess you should budget at least £1500 per jaw

Q. I am 43yrs old and have a massive gap between my two front teeth. There is not a tooth missing it has grown like this as I was never fitted with a brace. The gap is very large now and I never smile because of this. What can be done and how much will it cost?
A. If the gap might be getting bigger due to gum disease. Get your dentist to check it out and then you can decide if its possible to improve the appearance

Q. My 6 year old daughter with special needs was put under for dental treatment. She came out of surgery with her 4 front teeth (2 top and 2 bottom) pulled and all her other teeth had silver caps on them. Her gums have been swollen since. The dentist told me brushing them will help correct the swelling??? Months later, still swollen and she seems in pain. She screams when I brush. Again, dentist said to come back in 6 months. Finally able to find new dentist who told me the caps are too big for her teeth and have caused gingervitis. Her gums look raw and because she is adopted and on medicaid, I feel like I can not get decent help for her. The new dentist claims there is nothing that can be done since the caps are permanant. Isn’t there something I can do for this poor child. She has special needs so I must brush for her and she can’t communicate if she is in pain but her screaming tells me she is. She is constantly poking at her mouth and rubbing her face so I know it bothers her. A year has already gone by from surgery and gums still swollen. I have seen 3 dentists now and no one seems to think they can do anything? Is it because of her insurance?? Or is there no hope for her situation and do we need to just wait for her baby teeth to fall out? I feel so sorry for her and do not want her uncomfortable any longer.
A. ask to be referred to the community dental service who will have more experiance of dealing with matters of this kind

Q. My baby has te most beautifull baby teeth . He has just fallen from a chair. Heating the floor with his face and moving one of his baby teeth backwards.The tooth has not m voed from its cavity (according to a nurse)bu you can clearly see it. I am quite distress by the thought of having to wait for his real teeth + feel ever so guilty about it. Is there anything we can do?. Is there any dentist you could recommend in North Yorkshire near York? I would not mind even if it is very expensive. I would save to put it right for him. Many thanks
A. I’m sorry to hear of your babies accident. Andrea Ubhi in York is an excellent dentist who you could see, to see if there is anything you could do for your baby

Q. hello, i’m 15 years of age and my teeth are quite straight but when i smile with my teeth open you can only see the front teeth because the rest of them are up and i’ve got a really narrow arch. would invisalign help me make my teeth all straight so when i smile you can see all my teeth instead of just the front? and i’ve also got tiny gaps on the side so when i smile open it looks funny. please email back to me asap thank you
A. Invisalign might help but it sounds like a normal fixed brace would work better. these braces can pull teeth down more efectively than invisalign

Q. I was horrified to find that our dentist removed a healthy canine tooth from my 12 year old son. He assured my husband that, although healthy, the tooth was a baby tooth, which was preventing the adult canine pushing through. However, the tooth pulled out was a second tooth and matched the second canine on the other side. The tooth pushing through is a large molar and I am seriously concerned that my son will now be left with a lopsided smile. Can anything be done to correct this error without resorting to implant.
A. I doubt very much that the dentist would have made such an error, go back to him and discuss your feelings I’m sure there has been a break down in communication somewhere along the line.

Q. Dr Moore, I am having major dental bridge construction to both left and right front teeth. 6 teeth to right and 5 to left sides. My dentist dropped some glue called Pamp Bond into my mouth and a 1 inch piece got lodged into back of my mouth. The glue is also foul tasting. Is this glue a proper glue for use to secure the temporary bridge. I am concerned for my health.
A. There is no cause for alarm, the cement is actually call Temp Bond and is used routinely in dentistry for temporary restorations and is very safe to use.
