My fangs are quite noticeable which I hate so what is the right procedure?

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Q.
I am looking into having my teeth straightened in the next couple of years when I have saved enough money, but was wondering what I need to make sure when choosing a dentist – ie what licences/etc should I check for before I choose so that the dentist is a fully registered one? Also, I think I will be looking to get an Invisalign brace and some lumineers, but my teeth are quite overcrowded and I have got all 4 wisdom teeth almost through, which will only make them worse, so would it be recommended that I have them out to give my teeth room to space out? Finally, I have quite noticeable ‘fangs’ which I hate and am very self conscious about, so what procedure would be done to sort this? Thank you.

Is there a way of preventing receding gums other than brushing and flossing

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hello! I am 21 years old and I recently had two root canals done on my lower right side(molar and premolar), but due to insurance issues I am waiting until January to get crowns for them. I have realized that my molars on the left side(both top and bottom) look a little worn down on the lingual and buccal side. I believe my dentist has shaved the cusps of the two root canal-ed teeth and this might have messed up my bite(I can’t really feel it while chewing though). I wanted to know if this could be the actual case. I’m worried that my other teeth are going to get really ugly by the time I can get crowns. Also I have realized that teeth with crowns tend to have receding gums. Is there a way to prevent that other than the regular brushing and flossing? Thank you

Q.

How much I would be looking at paying for a new bridge?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
Hello, can you tell me how much I would be looking at paying for a new bridge. I have one at the moment that has slipped and needs replacing. It is the 4 teeth at the front. My dentist told me about 6 months ago, if I wanted it replaced it would cost £700, but if it moved or started to slip it would cost £300. It has now started to slip and there is a large cap around my gum area. after seeing my dentis saturday, he told me it would now cost £800. I said to him that he said before that if it slipped it would cost £300, and he said the NHS has changed and it is classed as cosmetic unless I am in pain. But he did tell me that if it slipped and needed to be replaced it would only be £300, so I dont know what to believe, is he trying to get more money out of me. Any info would be great. thanks.

Is there any other alternatives for removable braces?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
My child has just had a removable brace that she should wear 24hrs a day and she is completely refusing to keep it in her mouth for more than ten minutes. Its a brace that will bring her bottom jaw and teeth forward due to faces she used to pull as a younger child. I am wondering if there is a way to have a similar brace wired inside the mouth? She is autistic so she refuses to wear it more than an average child as it is. Thank you for your time

My teeth are crooked can anything be done to my incisors or canines.

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
When i was 11 i had a brace, it was,to pull my 4 top incisors out as they were not curved, but straight, making my canines look like fangs.This was a removable brace, with an extra piece at night that went round my head.Anyway, it didnt work and nothing else was done, i dont know why. It has bothered me ever since. i am almost 40 now, and i put my hand over my mouth when i laugh and try not to show my teeth. Can anything be done, either to my incisors or canines..ie filing them as they look longer than my insisors, making it look worse. Thank you for your time.
