One of my left teeth is looking wonky. The top is going further left and the bottom right, slightly overlapping the left smaller tooth next to it. Please could you advise my options?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Q.
When i was a child I had to have an operation to cut open the gum to bring my left big front tooth down as it didn’t do it naturally on its own! This involved braces and a hook. Eventually it came and I’ve been happy with my teeth for years as I have a metal plate at the back that I was told would keep them held together. I’ve now noticed that the left tooth is looking wonky. the top going further left and the bottom right, slightly overlapping the left smaller tooth next to it. Please could you advise my options? Thanks,

Can you advise me concerning teeth whitening kits that can be bought online?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Q.
Hi Mark, I have used the home whitening kits purchased from a company in China, and I have been thoroughly happy with the results. However, whenever I read up on the internet for instance on the British Health Foundation pages on the issue, it states that basically unless your dentist has advised you on the treatment you should not have it. It also states that home kits purchased from companies whom are not listed as professional are not suitable. Please advise, as there are many websites selling the kits now.,
