How can I close gaps in my smile?
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011Q.
As a child my dentist extracted several teeth leaving me with large gaps which I hate. As I get older I’m finding my confidence is getting worse and am desperate to do something. I have thought about invisalign but don’t know how ling the treatment would take. I did buy some teeth bands on the Internet and if I wear one all night it does close the gap in my front teeth. But when I take it off the gap opens again in minutes. I’ve considered knocking my teeth out and having dentures. I feel that low. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Can I get treatment at dental schools?
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011Q.
Dear Sirs
I have been having a lot of problems with my teeth for a quite a few years now and the NHS Dentist don�t seem very helpful at all.
I would like to find out if there are any dental surgeon out there that are looking for people to help them gaining experience.
A bit about myself 30 year old female single mother and my teeth are just breaking off I have had a tooth removed and another just broke in 3 pieces I have had about 3 root canals and loads of fillings.
Went to my dentist last week because I was having pain on my tooth and I had a chipped tooth now he fixed the tooth I was having problems with but refused to wok on the tooth that had been chipped and asked me to return in 3 months and have work done on this tooth again another tooth has broken and I said you know my tooth broke he replied by saying that it will need to be removed but they cant do it until 3 months time so I am left with one broken tooth and another tooth which has been broken and not much of it left which is causing me pain now and I don�t think I can wait 3 months to have this problem dealt with.
I have very difficulties in eating as both sides of my teeth are very sensitive and it hurts quite often when eating even if it�s an apple.
Please can you help me if there are any dentist schools I could join as I can not afford to pay private dental care
Many thanks for your time in reading this.
I have a crown that falls out every couple of months, what is the problem?
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011Q.
I have a crown with a post (upper) that keeps falling out every couple of months. To begin with I had no problems with it. I would like to know if there are a variety of posts? Is there a post that would anchor the crown securly? At present it seems that it is a kind of “glue” that is being used to fix the crown.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you!

How do I know my dentist isn’t just trying to make money out of me?
Thursday, February 24th, 2011Q.
Hi Dr Moore,
General question, how can I assess whether my dentist is looing after my teeth properly or simply attempting to make money out of me?
I’ve had about 18 months/2 years with no treatment, and now it seems everytime I go for a check up he decides to “replace fillings he is not happy with” even though they are not causing any pain. I also have an impacted wisdom tooth which he wanted to take out. I refused to have this done in the Dental surgery and asked for a referral to an NHS Hospital – once I got my appt there they said the tooth did not need to be removed.
All of this is making me rather concerned and loathe to return to my dentist. I also have some pain in my left upper molar which I have previously flagged to him. He insists that the tooth does not need a filling – however the cynic in me now feels that it could be he is waiting for it to decay badly so I’ll need a root canal @ £350 as opposed to filing the tooth now which makes him alot less.
Am I being too cynical and is my dentist just trying to provide preventative care? (all my fillings are white and I know these are not as long lasting as amalgam ones).
