My Teeth Don’t Show Properly When I Smile. I Would Like To Know What Treatment Will Fix This?

Tuesday, March 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew, I have a problem with my smile, being that my teeth don’t really show when I smile. It is becoming a huge issue with me now and is having a big effect on my self confidence. I can’t smile openly in public without feeling everyone is looking at me and it is having a massive effect on my confidence. Can anything be done to help me with this issue? Would appreciate any advice as to whether there is something that can be done. Thank you.

Is There Any Whitening Product On The Market That Can Brighten Up My Old Crowns?

Monday, March 3rd, 2014
Q.

I have heard that there are whiteners for capped teeth. My caps are pretty old, about 10 years. I have seen a periodontist and asked him if I should have the caps replaced and he said no. My caps are pretty yellow and I would like to have them lightened. Is there a way to do this? I really can’t afford to have the caps replaced, maybe a few, but it bothers me to smile, but I do because that is in my nature and I like to smile. I just wish I had whiter teeth. I know a lot of women and men whiten there natural teeth but what about us who have a mouth full of crowns? Is there no whitener in the market for crowns?

I’m Not Sure About The Price I’ve Been Quoted For A Ceramic Bridge. Should I Opt For An Implant Instead?

Friday, February 28th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I have been quoted by my dentist £1995 for a ceramic bridge ( metal base I think ).  It’s for the back teeth on one side, I thought there was one tooth missing but he says there is two missing. This price seems very high to me, it is a private clinic, with a very good reputation. I was originally going to opt for an implant as I had been told by a previous dental practice that a bridge wasn’t a viable option. Can you advise on what would be the best course of action to take next? Thank you for your time.

Why Am I Getting Pain When I Chew Directly After Root Canal Treatment?

Friday, February 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I had my first sitting for a root canal where the dentist cleaned the tooth and canals and he used local anaesthesia. It’s been two days and I am taking antibiotics and pain killers. But the my teeth hurt whenever I chew and the pain comes from temporary filled teeth. Please let me know if this is normal? How do I know whether the root canal done by this dentist is correct? Please help me or advise me on what to do?
Also what can I do to prevent this from happening when I get my crown fitted. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thursday, February 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew,

I am an 18 year old student studying at college. I hope you can offer me some good advice. I really hate my teeth I find it difficult to eat and I never smile because I lack confidence as this leads to low self esteem. I just wish I had a perfect smile. My question for you Andrew, is how much roughly does the process cost and how long would it take? Are there any other benefits and drawbacks? Thanks. I look forward to hearing your reply.

My Crowns Are Coming Loose. What Would It Cost Me To Have A Bridge For All Five?

Thursday, February 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I have a question for you that I hope you can help me with. I have five crowns in the front of my mouth and I would like to have them all on one bridge. Could you please tell me if there are any problems with this suggestion and if it would be a good idea? What kind of cost would I be expecting for this type of treatment?

I am looking to do this as the crowns don’t fit every well and are always coming loose, I have been told a bridge would look and fit a lot better, if you can advice me what I should do that would be great. Thanks a lot.

How Easy Is It For A Dentist To Spot An Abscess?

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I hope you can help me. I underwent an initial root canal treatment for a lower molar, the dentist also discovered an abscess which he removed.

Two weeks prior to the root canal treatment he X-rayed my tooth and proceeded to fill it, he hadn’t noticed the abscess or the dead root. How easy are these to spot? He then had to remove the new filling and start the initial root canal procedure.

However two days later my jaw and glands are still extremely swollen and sore, is this normal, or at least is it to be expected?

I look forward to receiving your response.

Regards.

Could You Give Me A Rough Estimate Off How Much It Would Cost To Get My Jaw Aligned?

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My top jaw comes out more forward than my bottom one, I think this is called an overbite. This means my bite basically covers my bottom teeth. Also when I bring my bottom jaw forward to meet my top teeth one of jaws are not straight resulting in a big space either side of my front teeth. Apart from this my teeth are all straight. I would like to have my jaw realigned. Do you think that this is the best option? Also, could you give me rough estimate of how much this sort of treatment would cost? I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

If I Have Osseous Surgery Will My Teeth Become Loose And Brittle? I’m Terrified They Will. Is There Anything Else That Can Be Done?

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew, I was wondering whether you can tell me if it is true that teeth become loose and brittle after osseous surgery? I been told I may need this gum surgery and I am terrified about what the outcome will be with my mouth and teeth?
I have receding gums and spaces between my teeth, especially the top teeth, but otherwise I have good oral hygiene. What other options might be available for me to have instead of this gum surgery? Does it really have to be so drastic, this surgery? Please advise me on this. Thank you.

I Recently Got New Crowns, But Now I Have A Lisp And They Feel Too Big For My Mouth. What Should I Do About This?

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I went to my dentist so I could get a great smile but now I don’t even smile now and I hate talking as I have a lisp. The dentist put your new crowns along the top but one of the crowns is blue/grey in colour and I feel my teeth are too big and bulky for me. I hate speaking as have a lisp, so now not only do I not have the perfect smile but I can’t talk properly now either. I went back to my dentist and he said – Oh, I think they are fine and that I was paranoid when referring to my lisp. I am very upset about this and I would like to know what can be done. Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me.
