Q. I chipped both my front teeth in an accident when i was 11. Iam now 31, one of the teeth is badly discoloured it has a veneer on it but you can still see its dark, what would you recommend?
A. Probably root treatment of the dark tooth followed by internal bleaching. Veneers may be required later but even if they are the colour matching will be easier

Q. Hello, I had veneers put in 2 years ago and had a broken front one replaced free of charge last year. Unfortunately one of the side ones has now cracked and half of it has fallen off. I have contacted my dentist and asked about ‘fixing’ it back on but he is saying a brand new veneer at £600.00 is the only option. Can Veneers not be bonded back together is it is a clean break? Maybe I’m just getting fed up of spending more on top of the original £10,000! thanks
A. The joinbetween the two halves will always be detectable. As you spent a lot on the appearance of your teeth, I guess this would annoy you in the long term. At current fracture rates You should look into if any changes need to be made to your bite. Possibly wear a night time guard. It is worth asking for a reduced fee on the replacement.

Q. Dear Dr. Bohara… I recently fell and smashed my two front teeth. It was initially thought that both teeth required crowns, but upon further investigation one of them is so badly broken (in layers like an onion I’m told, above the gum line) that I’m going to lose the tooth completely and that an implant is my only option. I grew up in the UK and am absolutely terrified of dentists, have been my whole life so now as a 45 year old female, I’m now faced with what I consider the most devasting dental treatment imaginable. I had perfectly straight natural teeth prior to this and am worried because it’s a front tooth that it won’t be returned to the way it was as I also have to have a bone graft. I will opt for IV sedation but am having trouble getting my head around the fact that I won’t be asleep (I’d much rather be knocked out completely)-I don’t want to be aware of anything or feel anything. Can you offer any advice for me in terms of this being such a prominent tooth and also if I’ll feel anything. I appreciate how busy you are, but would be very grateful for for anything you could say to ease my mind. I would almost have rather broken my limbs than have this happen! Thank you very much for your time Dr. Bohara.
A. Hi
Please do not worry, I am sure you will be fine if you get the appropriate treatment. It is very difficut to give you the best treatment option without carrying out an examination.

Q. Hi, I chipped my front tooth around July last year and just under half of it went. Im 14 and I got a filling put in. I was wondering if I can wear a mouth guard without the filling coming out. Also what procedures will happen in the future? Thanks.
A. It would be advisable for you to wear a mouthguard anyway- especially when playing sports- as long as the mouthgurad has been specifically made for your mouth.
In the future, the filling may come off and when you’re older, you may want to decide to have a crown- but I would honestly not think about that just yet……hope this inforamtion has helped you

Q. Following an accident about 18 months ago one of my front teeth was knocked out- this was able to be replaced by a doctor in A and E. I then had root canal treatment on the tooth by my dentist. Unfortunately the tooth was not replaced straight and is alot more forward than the one at the side of it and slightly overlaps. Since the accident my confidance has been significantly affected. I find I cover my mouth when I laugh or smile. Also I have recently noticed movement in my gum when I bite down on the tooth- im concerned the tooth will crack or fall out and so I tend to eat on one side of my mouth away from the effected tooth. Are there any solutions available to restore my confidance in my smile and with eating food again? Thank you.
A. Yiu need not suffer. I would advise that you consider having a dental implant retained crown. This is a permanent fixed option and is the next best thing to having your real tooth. It sounds as though the tooth is on it’s way out- but I obviously cannot say for sure without seeing you personally and assessing the tooth in question. I recommend that you see your dentist who can refer you for a consultation with an implantologist. Alternatively, I would be more than happy to offer you a free consultation at my kissdental practice. Good luck

Q. my front tooth cracked due to an accident but over the months it has broken away,now i only have half a side of that tooth left,so now im very concious of it now specially wen i laugh and i wont have my pic taken now,cause the inside of the remaining bit is going black as well,and its starting to hurt abit now,i so desperately want it done b4 the other bit goes,but 2 things stop me,i have a phobia about dentists and the cost,any suggestions with a big please,thanku
A. Dear,
Many people have a phobia of the dentist. I recommend you make some enquires with dentists in your area to find who is particularly good with nervous patients. Most dentists have a lot of experience with nervous patients and will take their time with you in order to build your confidence.
Unfortunately your dental problems will not go away and if you dont not get them seen to, will only continue to worsen.
In regards to cost, an NHS dentist can help you acheive and maintain oral health (some patients are exempt from paymeny depending on their situation, other pay a small fee).
Kind regards

Q. Hi, I have a small broken (upper) tooth that has nearly half missing. It doesn’t hurt. Not long ago a dentist suggested it be pulled, but it is visible when I smile and I do not want an obvious gap. Is there anything I can do to save it? And if not, what is available to fill the gap? Thank you.
A. Hi If your dentist thinks it needs taking out then it probably isn’t possible to save it.
To replace the tooth you could use an implant- an independent tooth held in by a titanium post
a bridge- which may entail drilling down the adjacent teeth or a denture- a removable tooth held with a plate
Hope this helps Regards Andrew

Q. My front 4 teeth are just fine on the top, however the rest on either side are either broken, decaying or missing. What would be my best bet with dentures? Partials, over dentures, or complete upper set?
A.
It a specific answer that needs a clinical assesment to answer properly. If you are not sure get a couple of dental opinions and decide which outcome best suits your teeth and lifestyle.

Q. Hi Don’t know if you can help me but I literally am at my very last resort I am 27 and since having a really bad experience as a child my teeth are ok to look at but I have broken teeth my gums are bright red and all lumpy, if I tilt my head down I can see down my gums. I have terrible BAD BREATH which has caused me a lot of personal problems my partner and father of my daughter has left, I stopped going out with friends I have completely shut myself off from everyone I cant speak to customers face to face at work due to the smell I am becoming very lonely and stuck. I honestly and genuinely have bad thoughts of not living I cant see a way out I have been my dentist it took me all my time getting there as I am so scared. I am desperate for some one to help me as my 6 year old daughter dosent like to give me a kiss which breaks my heart I am single but wont meet anyone with a mouth like this. My family make nasty comments about my breath and teeth. Even standing in sopping lines and someone talks to me I have to pretend I haven’t heard them and I am very friendly and feel awful for doing this. I am so worried about this as I can not afford dental plans although I work I am also a single parent I just cant do it and I don’t know what to do I am so scared at the fact I think of worse things to solve this problem can someone help me please. Many Thanks
A. hi , listen sometimes things are not as bad as they seem, firstly it sounds as if because you have neglected your gums, you have lots of plaque and calculus fermenting around the gums causing the bad smell, the gum condition and hence the bad breathe can be dealt with very easily by seeing a hygienist on maybe a few occasions and improve your oral hygiene rountine at home, the cost of this treatment dependant on where you go should be no more than a couple of hundred pounds.
as for the rest of the teeth, once the bad breath and gums are sorted out a good dentist will advise you of the options available to improve your teeth and with relevent budgets. there is also interest free credit so if you do have a monthly budget in mind lets say £100 then the dentist may be able to work to your monthly budget. if you email back with where you live i would be if i can happy to recommend a local dentist for you.

Q. I recently broke half of my back upper tooth off by biting into a subway sandwich that had an olive pit in it. since then i have been having severe pain in my tooth. And getting really bad headaches. I dont have an income right now so it would be really hard to go see a dentist. could i get an infection from this? Is it life threatning if its not taken care of soon?
A. It would be good to get this sorted out soon as you may have an abscess on the tooth. It shouldn’t be life threatening though.

Q. I had veneers and crowns applied to the top 6 of my teeth 5 months ago. My two front teeth are actually crowns. I went in for a cleaning today and the dentist advised me that I have 2 hairline cracks. One on my front (crown) and one on a side veneer. He believes that I’m grinding my teeth at night and that is what caused this. I don’t think I grind my teeth at night. Isn’t it awfully early for me to be already getting cracks in the veneers/crowns? He is replacing both for free but does not know how well they will match the remaining 4 when complete and wants me to start wearing a mouthgard at night.
A. There is a huge misconception about grinding. Actually very few people grind thier teeth at night. If you do do then you have something called para function which meand the condition is habitual or you have a neurological disorder.
In both cases if this was the reason then your teeth probably would have exhibited signs of wear before the veneers were placed and you should have been advised of fracture of veneers before hand.
Also you would definately see some signs of wear on your back teeth. You may have muscle or joint problems. If you had none of these signs or symptoms then you are not a grinder. Without seeing you it is difficult to tell the cause of the wear but usually the reason for vertical fractures of anterior veneers is increased pressure on the teeth. Studies have shown that this is happens during chewing. The constant knocking of the lower teeth against the top teeth causes the bond to fail and this in turn causes the veneer to fracture because without the bond the veneer is extremely weak. This is all backed up by resaerch and studies. If your dentist places the new veneers in the same position as the old ones then the same thing will happen. It won’t make any difference if you wear a mouth guard or not.
Either your veneers were too long or they were locking your lower jaw back, or the palatal incline on them on them is too steep.
I hope this helps

Q. I passed out flat on my face and damage my crown. My dentist said the crown is cracked/broken and i would need it removed and replace with a denture. I really dont want this to happen. is there anything else that can be done. many thanks
A. if the crown is fractured and the root is intact it may be possible to do a post crown however if the tooth needs to be extracted a bridge or implant may be suitable.
these would be private treatments

Q. What can be done to repair my front tooth that is chipped very badly? Also I have a back tooth that is cracked straight throught the middle can anything be done to save it or do I have to pull it?
A. It is difficult to tell you without seeing you. Go and see a dentist and have some xrays treatment could vary from a simple filling to more complicated work. If your tooth is cracked to point it can not be saved then it will have to be removed.

Q. I had an accident about 6 years ago which resulted in me smashing one of my front teeth. After some root work i had a crown fitted but it was a really bad fit and very noticable. I had to wait until a few weeks ago to get it redone as i could not afford it. I have now got my temporay crown in and goingback next week to get the new porcelin crown fixed. As i also have a gap i am getting a porcelin veneer in my other front tooth to close the gap. It is costing me over £2000. My issue is that the main reason i wanted to get it sorted is the black line on the top of my tooth. My dentist originally told me that with the porcelin crown and a white post this would be illiminated but when i went in to get my old crown removed and the temporay fitted he said that my old tooth is very black and so i can not get rid of the black line. This is very gutting for me as i still feel it looks really bad. I feel really annoyed that i am paying all this money but am still going to come away with the unsightly black gum! Is there anything that i can do? Shoudl i contact my dentist to discuss before my finla appointment?
A. hi,
in rare cases your dentist is right the black line is difficult to avoid especially if the restoration is extending onto the root.however discuss if the margin can be taken subgingivally or if it can be disguised with white filling after the fit.

Q. Hello I have a partial bridge in front of my mouth. The thing is I have broken them and need some new teeth. I also need two pull. Do I need a bridge or or what should I do? I would like them screwed in it just that it cost so much.
A.
Your teeth need to be properly assessed to decide which aresavable and which need to be removed. Once this is done you have 4 options:
1. do nothing – not a great option usually
2. Have a denture – can often produce a good result but the appliance is obvious to your tongue and is removable
3. provided there are enough teeth present and they are healthy with good bone support bridges are possible
4. Implants are the final solution – implant bridges are often used rather than individual implants to replace each tooth.
