My daughter has had a loose tooth for approx 8 weeks. Should I take her to the dentist?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
My 5 year old daughter has had loose tooth at the bottom in front for about 8 weeks now and it has not got any looser but does seem that it is getting pushed to the side. It has started causing her some mild discomfort, and she is not the sort of child to play with her teeth either. Should I take her to the dentist or just let nature continue taking it’s own course?,

Q.
Hi Dr. Verma, I just wanted to ask how do I know if I have a cracked filling? I was eating tonight and I heard a crack but didn’t feel anything in my mouth. But I just wanted to check if there is someway I would know if my filling is cracked. Will I taste something strange in my mouth? If so how quickly should I get to the dentist? ,

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi Sunita,my front 2 teeth are 1mm longer than my other teeth.My dentist has told me its not much but because of my face shape and size they seem to look bigger and not in line with my other teeth.I am considering to get them filed,however i do understand that it may cause sensitivity.I want to know whether it will really reduce the size,what the procedure is,will it hurt?and also how bad the sensitivity will be afterwards.Thanx.,

My erupting wisdom teeth have made my front otherwise health teeth overlap. Would braces damage my teeth?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, at 29 I have been advised that I have very good teeth, they are strong I have no problems at all and they are all in very good condition with no fillings. However from a young age I was advised that I had too many teeth, which until now although my teeth aren’t particularly straight on top, I was not too bothered because they are in such good condition and I was worried that a brace would damage my teeth, however over the last 6 months or so my wisdom teeth have started to come through causing an overlap of my two front teeth, and increasing discomfort. I realise that I may have to have some form of orthodontic treatment, but I am very nervous about damaging my teeth by having a brace, however I would like to have straight teeth. I would be grateful therefore if you could please advise of the options available and whether my worries are founded. Many thanks in advance.,

My daughter’s baby tooth is black after she had an accident. What can be done for the damaged tooth?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hello, my 19 month old little girl recently fell and bumped her front teeth. Since then the one front tooth has turned quite black so i presume that it has died. I understand that this is only her first tooth but as her second set of teeth are not due for some years i really do not want all of her photos as a baby / toddler showing her black tooth. What can we do to the damaged tooth? Also will her second tooth grow through o.k.? Many thanks ,

I am concerned about the method of filing teeth for Invisalign. Can you tell me if it is a safe and necessary option?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Verma Please can you confirm if “filing” teeth is a good (or only) solution with Invisalign? I do not like the idea as I am afraid that: 1. 0.5mm (recommended in my case on 3 teeth) seems a lot and will weaken my teeth 2. Could look very unattractive if any small mistake is made 3. Seems extremely unpleasant procedure Thanks in advance for your advice. Kind regards. Worried prospective Invisalign patient aged 44 years old,
