What can be done about my gum recession?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Q.
I have now for 4 years been suffering with receeding gums and feel as though my dentist is not giving me the suport I need as I am on his books as an NHS patient, and if I went to him as a private patient I would be treated better. All he has said to me is that I must concentrate on cleaning and not getting stressed too much as this is a big cause of gum recession. He has now taken 4 teeth out at the back as he said we no longer need them and wants to take a further 4 at the opposite side out. Said this will aid healthier gums, but looking at your profile you has said that implants and bridges are need to aid healthier gums. Where do I go, I have asked him take them all out as I do not want to be in a position where I have no gums left to hold in dentures when the time comes that I have no teeth left to take out anymore. The more I stress about this the more I feel that the problem is getting worse. I need help.,

Can NHS treat discoloured teeth at cheaper cost?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am nearly 30 years old and had 6 veneers put on my front teeth 15 years ago by the NHS. The reason they put them on was due to my teeth being discoloured after being giving flouroide drops as a baby. They now badly need redone. I have looked into going private but at £500 per tooth would be unable to afford this. Do I have any chance of the NHS doing them at a cheaper cost considering it was them that put them on in the first place?,

Can adult canine tooth be removed?

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Tennet. I am 25 years old and have not been to the dentist for about 11 years due to fear. I still have a baby canine tooth and my adult canine has been sat above it waiting to come down. I am so emabarassed about it, i am constantly worrying about it, it is really knocking my confidance. I have managed to get into a dentist and am just wondering what my options are. What i really want is to have the adult canine removed, I have very straight teeth and feel if they wanted to bring the adult canine tooth down it may push against my other teeth as it not sat straight in my gums anymore. Can adult canines be removed? and also would they keep my baby tooth in or could they insert an implant? Thank you for you help,

Can venees treat crooked and discoloured teeth?

Monday, January 25th, 2010
Q.
My teeth are stained by tetracycline when I was a child. I also underwent Orthodontic treatment as a young adult and now my teeth are slowly returning to their original (crooked) position. And I have had an organ transplant which requires me to take immuno- suppressant medication. What treatment would help me with the first two problems. Would veneers be suitable considering the third?,

How much tooth does there need to be to be able to get a crown?

Monday, January 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, I have decay on my upper right central incisor, this is behind (on the tongue side of the tooth, about 2.5mm big) Right next to it (my upper right lateral incisor) on the front side has a small filling lining up with the decay on the pervious tooth explained. I am seriously considering a crown/cap on my upper 4 incisors, and a lower lateral incisor. Going from right to left starting on the upper right lateral incisor, small filling high on the tooth on the left, decaying tooth from behind, perfect tooth, pushed back tooth. I also have a cross bite consisting of my upper left lateral incisor (pushed back) and lower lateral incisor (pushed forward) My main questions are; How much of a tooth is needed to obtain a crown? What is the likely hood of me being able to get this done and fixing my crossbite? Any guesses of the total cost? I fully understand that you cannot see my teeth and can only go off the description i have given you, but any infomation you can provide me with on what i have asked, or any roots i might wish to go down would be greatly recieved. . Further information just incase, I am a 25 year old female living in the UK, I am registered with an NHS dentist, I however do not like the way he works, the last filling he did on my tooth was sharp and just squashed on, needless to say half of it came off! I know the NHS will not do cosmetic dentistry, and I would prefere not to go back to the NHS dentist I have.,
