Hi, I’m 27 years old and have big teeth, my top two front teeth are also very forward! Making me look goofy if you like. I hate having my photo taken because they stick out so much and I have really have had enough as it makes me very depressed. I did have a brace that you could take in and out when I was 12 year old but I didn’t wear it! What can be done about this problem? A rough price? Is there some kind of payment plan I can get as this would be preferred.
Hello Dr Shaffie, after one of my Maryland bridges fell off, I would like to know if I can fix it back in place with super-glue. The reason I want to do this is that I don’t have dental insurance and I have a very low paying job making it difficult to afford. So I want to know if it’s okay to use super glue to glue back the Maryland bridge. Secondly I want to know if fluoride in toothpaste is healthy for your teeth. Some people I’ve heard have said it’s not very healthy. What would you advise me to do? I would appreciate your advice on these matters.
I chipped my front four teeth in rugby and apparently I brushed my teeth too hard as a child, my teeth are perfectly straight, I just want to fix the chips and nicks in my front four teeth and whiten them all so I can have the smile I used to have and feel confident again, how much do you think it will cost, it’s all relatively minor work, and then some whitening because my teeth are frustratingly resistant to home whitening, my teeth were perfect until I banged them up playing sports now the front four are chipped, I was worried when I saw these 20,000 dollar price-tags but my local dentist says there is really nothing he can do for me, any information or advice?
Hello can you please help?
My daughter has big problems with her teeth after suffering with bulimia over several years. We are trying to find a sympathetic person to help her and so far with the dentists in our region (North Wales) they have not been particularly helpful. We are not a well off family but I have offered to help her try and find somebody who is willing to look at her ~ her present dentist has suggested dentures, she is only 34 and I feel this person doesn’t really care much. She has just lost a front tooth and is absolutely mortified about it and I feel so sorry as she is a beautiful girl. Please can someone help to put the smile back on my lovely daughters face without us having to take out a mortgage to do it? With thanks.
Hello there Dr Patel,
I have come across two white lines on my two front teeth which have suddenly appeared.
This happened a while ago and after a couple of hours they faded but this time they are fading at all. They aren’t getting any worse but I’m also worried that they are not fading away either.
I always practice good oral hygiene (I have no fillings, brush teeth at least twice a day, floss, mouthwash etc.)
I have read about micro abrasion and think this might be an option for me.
How much roughly would micro abrasion be on my two front teeth? Thanks.
Hello, Dr Patel. My query is that I have a tooth right next to my two top front ones that appears to be moving very far back to the point now when I have a photo people ask if I have a tooth missing, I am extremely upset and distressed by this especially as I am due to get married next year and want to be able to smile in my photograph without worrying at the back of my mind, I had braces when I was younger and foolishly took them out with pliers as I was so self-conscious of them. But now I need to find a way that is cheap, to make me smile again and I am not sure how to do it. Can you provide me with any information? Many thanks.
Hello, I contacted my Dental school, to enquire about dental implants being done, I’m unemployed, and I don’t work due to health issues. I asked if they do dental implants, they said yes they would do it free, only if I asked my dentist to refer me, I did this, but have been turned down and I don’t know why? They said I don’t meet the criteria. Do you know if I was to try another dental school, whether they would do it? It’s very costly for me to have it done, at my dentist. I’m having problems with my plate, I keep getting ulcers, taking, my plate out and in, to clean, also I have cracked two of my teeth twice, taking it out. Any suggestions for implants? Also what are the costs involved to have this done?
Hello. I am really interested in the option of Mini Dental Implants.
I am 25 years old and I really want to have perfect teeth. My teeth are not currently in great condition. I have had quite a few fillings and one root canal and I am looking at going for another one soon because I have recently suffered an abscess.
Could you advise me on the best course of action? I have transport so I can drive to wherever is needed? My financial situation is stable enough, and I can to afford to pay for quality treatment.
I hope you can help you can help me with this problem.
Thank you, and Kind regards.
