Q.

I Do Not Want Implants Thats Too Much Of A Wait Game I Just Want My Gaps Gone With No Drilling Or Pain. I Am Embarrassed To Smile I Cover My Teeth When I Laugh.

I swallowed my bridge and have washed it with bleach and vinegar, can I wear it again?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

A few days ago I woke in the middle of the night choking on my dental bridge which had came off. I could not retrieve it, so waited for it to pass through. I was very nervous about this as I had read on internet that it could become lodged at different points in the digestive system. Finally after 5 days it passed through. I washed it, soaked it in soapy water over night, then brushed it with a light solution of bleach, then with vinegar, then soaked it in a solution of bleach for about 30 minutes, then rebrushed it with vinegar. My question is: does this santize it enough to be free from ecoli? Is it now safe to reuse? I cannot afford another bridge and it is not pleasant walking around with no front teeth on right side, also the pain from the bare roots apparently is heart wrenching. Please advise.

How long will it take for my husband to have implants and crowns instead of dentures?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
Q.

My husband has just had his 4 front teeth taken out & now wears dentures. His bone & gums are in terrible condition, but we have been told that he might be able to have injections to rebuild bone & gums, then have implants with a bridge! How long does this procedure take & is there an estimated cost. He has only had dentures for a few days, but I don’t think its suiting him. How long will he have to wait for the process to start. He doesn’t have any infection in his gum, so will he have to wait long? My husband is only 42 so dentures for the rest of his life is not an option! Help!

Can you give me your opinion on the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” procedure?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. Can you please advise on my situation. Do you know about or do the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” procedure? I have a broken front tooth and it will be extracted. They want to do an inplant or cut my vital teeth to pegs, which I don’t care to have either done. In Hawaii I’ve heard of the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” porcedure. In your opinion could you tell me if you think this would be a good alternative? I have gone to their web site at www.carlsonbiologicaldentistry.com to have a proper look. I have also youtubed carlson bridge and googled that too for more information.
Good information but I would like to know what you think?

Thank you for your time.

Does peroxide damage a porcelain bridge?

Friday, April 15th, 2011
Q.

I have a year old 6 unit porcelain bridge in top front of mouth .I notice that it not as white about the bottom 1/8 of an inch. On the two front ones. It�s almost like they are clear and you can see a difference when I put my tongue behind them. Is this normal in some bridges? The bridge that this replaced was not like that it lasted 23 years. I lighten the bottom teeth to keep them as white as my bridge I�m wondering last time I got a bunch of peroxide on the back of this bridge is making my problem worse? I have read that bleaching has no effect on porcelain. I appreciate your time in answering me.

Thanks,

A.
