i had Tetracycline for tonsilitis as a child, I hate my teeth, all my family have white teeth but me & also still have my tonsils-which at my age are still irritating. Which are the best option for healthy teeth wishing they were pearly-whites like rest of my familys’. I am embarrassed @ most first meetings with people especially if they meet my sister then I feel they are asking themselves why doesn’t she have nice white teeth?

Hi I would like to ask your advice on my up and coming orthodontic treatment which is to correct my underbite. The problem is that I recently suffered trauma to my teeth which subsequently left my central incisor loose.
I am scheduled for the fitting procedure in May which will be a year on from the trauma took place.
My tooth is still sensitive and tender and I am anxious that it is to soon to have braces fitted. I am afraid the tooth will die.
The orthodontist has not taken any individual x-rays and has told me if the tooth is going to die it will die anyway.
What is your opinion on my situation?
Hello Dr Sunita Verma. I have a question for you please. I have just visited the dentist who has said my teeth are badly eroding away, my front two have yellow at the top which she said she will correct with white fillings.Is this the best option or whould veneers be best? I do not grind my teeth that i am aware of and i eat little acid foods so I dont understand why they are eroding any idea?
kIND REGARDS and have a nice day
Dear Doctor Sunita Verma. My question: I am a 23 years old university student from Glasgow. I have not lost my baby tooth (central incisor!!) and it doesn’t have any roots and it’s quite strong as well! But I was wondering to go through some cosmetic surgery as there’s a gap there.
I would really appreciate if you could help and write me your personal opinion on this as my dentist recommended to not to get rid of if as long as it’s strong.
Kind Regards and best wishes.
Hello Dr Sunita Verma. I have directed a question for your attention in the merest hope that you can help me sonewhat. On recent occassion I have started forming/bnuilding s small gap between my front teeth at the top. I can say that it’s not exactly at the between of the 2 teeth but right from the base of it ( From the Gums and between 2 teeths not reaching till the top of the tooth)
That really bothers me as i touch my tounge to feel that as a cavity . even i dont want my tounge goes there frequently. How do i get rid of this if you please have the time to consider my question and direct me with an answer. I would be very much appreciative if you can. Please forgive me if I give a follow up question as well. Warmest regards.
Hi Dr Verma,
I am very depressed with my front upper teeth. I am 37 year old, and have over the year realised that my front upper teeth have started to widen apart, and the right front upper is started to move outer leave so much gap (similar to Picture 1 from your album below). the same gap have started on the lower front. My question is how to bring them together, and how much its likely to cost me for both upper and lower. I have been to my local dentist and when asked about this all they seem to say is its all age related, my gums have started to shift up which allows the teeth to move. I do get a lot of pain in the mornings as i come to realise that my tongue has probably pushed onto them, and also if i try to bite an apple i get pain straight away, please can you advise. Many thanks
I am a 27 yr old female who has hide my “extra tooth” as long as I possible can.. I cant tell you the last time I have been able to smile showing my teeth because this one tooth is so embarrasing to me.. I have great health insurance but unfortunelty not good enough because it will not cover a cent for braces to correct this tooth. The tooth is on the top, growing out of my gum. Besides the fact of it being embarrasing it is starting to cause pain.. My dentist refuses to remove it just keeps referring me to the orthodontist but theres no sense of visiting him again as he has already quoted me a fee and its just not affordable. I am a single mom who works full time and alls I want to be able to smile showing my teeth. Can you please tell me what you suggest I do so I can finally give my confidence the boost it needs/needed? I personally wish my dentist would surgically remove the tooth and place an implant in the space where the tooth was suppost to come down? Thank you for your time and your answer in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am signed of work due to my bipolar does this change anyfin
Hi I wore a brace when I was younger but my bottom teeth have crossed at the front. I wore a retainer on my top set off teeth but not my bottom. Sometimes I feel conscious when I smile because this one tooth can be seen. I would like to ask if there is a solution to my problem although I don’t think I could afford to pay for it at the moment so I would just like to speak to someone in advance. I would probably have a brace again or possibly consider the 6 month smile option, would this solution offer a permanent improvement or would it make my teeth worse , I really need some closure on this situation as the longer I wait the worse it becomes , Thanks
