I Need Implants As I May Lose My Next Placement As A Student Nurse. Could I Get NHS Funding For Implants?

Monday, November 11th, 2013

Hi Marcus. Could you please tell me if my situation would warrant funding of NHS for implants as I’m desperate. I am a student nurse and have been told that I may not be able to attend my next placement due to teeth missing at the front of my mouth (I tripped and had a small rake in my hand that hit me in the mouth).
I am pretty devastated as not only have I lost teeth I may lose my place. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.

I’ve Wanted To Straighten My Teeth For A Long Time. Which Discreet Braces Are Most Suitable?

Friday, November 8th, 2013

Hi. I’ve wanted to straighten my front
teeth for a long time as one slightly crosses over the other.
However I wanted a brace fitted for the shortest possible time and something clear so no one can tell I’m wearing one.
Which type of brace would you recommend?
I’ve looked at lingual and simpli5 but I’m unsure as to whether either would
be suitable as my front teeth cross at the bottom. Many thanks, it’s much appreciated.

How Do I Go About Finding A Good Implantologist In My Area So I Can Get My Fracture Fixed?

Thursday, November 7th, 2013

February I had a root canal treatment on a lower right side molar (third from back without a wisdom tooth) and have today been told I have a fracture which means the only option is to remove the tooth.

The X-rays don’t show the fracture but I have had pain when biting and with cold air for a while so am not surprised by the result and I was warned it was a possibility.

My NHS dentist has suggested being referred for a dental implant after the extraction. Can you please advise how I go about finding a good surgeon in the North West as I read on one of your posts it is important to go to someone who will use quality implants? How do I know though? Also, I have been reading about material being inserted when a tooth is removed to encourage bone regeneration, so is it best to have the extraction and implant all done by the same private dentist or can I have the extraction done at the NHS one and think about the implant later?

This is a very good question. … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My Fear Of The Dentist Has Led Me To Do Something I Regret. Please Help Me Before I Visit The Dentist?

Wednesday, November 6th, 2013

Hello Dr Gambroudes. I was wondering if you could give me any advice. I had a hole in my tooth and being terrified of the dentist I stupidly bought Denseal superior and placed the glass isomer compound in my tooth. Now I want to remove it and visit a dentist. Do you have any idea what will either loosen or dissolve it? I want it removed before I visit the dentist as I don’t want them to know I was so stupid to use it. Any help is really appreciated, thank you.

Hello Dr Marcus, I’d Like A Durable Way Of Mending My Chipped Tooth.

Tuesday, November 5th, 2013

Hello Doctor Marcus,
I have a front tooth (second left) which is chipped (approx 30% of tooth), I have had a composite filling done in the past but it keeps falling out. I would prefer a more reliable and durable fix, but I do not want to have a crown just yet. Is a porcelain filling a possible option. I’d also like to know the cost as well please? Also I’m thinking about teeth whitening. Thank you, really look forward to hearing your advice.

People Have Often Commented On The Placement Of My Teeth. What Can Be Done To Straighten Them?

Friday, November 1st, 2013

Hi, I have a crooked a single crooked tooth on the top row of teeth right at the front. I want to know what can be done to fix the problem, it isn’t a major issue but really knocks my confidence when smiling or talking to individuals face to face? I have mulled over the thought of what kind of straightening needs to be done but do not know what to do about it. It has been this way for a few years and my peers and acquaintances have told me that over time the tooth will straighten itself, it has not done so. It has been reoccurring as a question I have been asking myself. People have often noticed and commented on the placement and it has really knocked my confidence. I have been to the dentist a lot for check ups every 6 months as standard, they have said that I do not need a brace so there is nothing I can think of doing but to seek cosmetic advice/help.

Good Afternoon. Do You Have Any Particular Toothpaste Recommendations For Gingivitis?

Thursday, October 31st, 2013

Good afternoon. Which toothpaste do you recommend to be best for hygiene and freshness?
Would you recommend an antibiotic for gingivitis?
Shall I ask my GP to prescribe me a particular product?
I am considering teeth whitening.
My only concerns before I make an appointment are:
How long will it last?
Do I have to purchase expensive products to maintain it?

Sorry, I am just trying to decide if it’s worth it.

Kind Regards.

I Think My Jaw Has Lowered Recently. What Can I Do To Fix This?

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013

I’ve recently noticed that my jaw has begun to look like its on a angle, am not sure whether it has always been like this, but from what I can remember this is something that has happened recently and I can’t take my mind of it, I constantly try and place my top teeth on top of my bottom teeth so they go straight but my jaw seems to of lowered, why is this? If I place my top fang directly on top of my bottom fang on my left hand side I can almost push my finger through the gap on the other side of my mouth, if I place my fang directly above my other fang tooth on the right side there is no gap at all, am beginning to become really self conscious because of this, I’m pretty sure this has just came about in the last few months, what can I do about this?

I Don’t Want To Have More Teeth Taken Out And Braces Treatment. Is There Another Way To Fix My Buck Teeth?

Tuesday, October 29th, 2013

Hello Dr Gambroudes. I used to have what I would call vampire teeth. After getting braces, my “vampire” smile turned into buck teeth. I had two upper teeth removed to make more room and continued to wear braces for two years but the buck teeth never disappeared. And they are really bad buck teeth and it’s started to affect my speech. Is there another option to fix buck teeth without having to go back to braces? The orthodontist I went to when I had my braces said I would have to get more upper teeth removed if I wanted to continue with braces and I really don’t want that.

Thanks for getting in touch. I… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
